Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your Saturn Vue, or another GM vehicle, suddenly stalling, refusing to start, or running rough? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This crucial component, often called the fuel pump driver module, regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs, leading to frustrating and unpredictable performance issues. Don’t waste time and money replacing a perfectly good fuel pump when the FSCM is the real culprit. This is the definitive, hassle-free solution.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine GM module and program it with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle’s VIN. This means you get a component that’s not only a perfect replacement but also has the most current operational logic for optimal fuel delivery and engine efficiency. By providing your VIN at checkout, you eliminate the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. This 2010 Vue Fuel System Control Module arrives at your door ready to be installed.
Case Study: The ‘Bad’ Fuel Pump That Wasn’t
A 2011 Silverado 1500 came into my shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself after it died on the highway, but the truck still wouldn’t start. He was frustrated and out a few hundred dollars. A quick scan showed a U0109 code—Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. We checked the wiring and found it was fine. The issue was the original FSCM, mounted on the frame rail, which had failed from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. We installed a VIN-programmed module, and the truck fired up on the first try. It’s a textbook example of why diagnosing the entire fuel system, especially the 2010 Vue Fuel System Control Module and its equivalents, is critical before replacing the most expensive part.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Signs?
A faulty FSCM can cause a range of symptoms. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or during acceleration
- ✔ Rough idle or hesitation
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor acceleration
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
This module is designed for a direct-fit replacement, making it a manageable job for a DIYer or a quick task for a professional. Location varies by model (e.g., frame rail on trucks, rear compartment on SUVs/cars), but the process is similar.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FSCM. On many GM trucks and SUVs, it’s mounted to the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On cars like the Vue or CTS, it may be in the trunk or a rear compartment.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to the chassis.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FSCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Final Check: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the system to prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This Fuel System Control Module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. It is a true plug-and-play solution, saving you a trip to the dealership.
Where do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, please send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We need this to program the module before we can ship it.
Is this the same as a fuel pump?
No. This is the electronic module that controls the fuel pump. It tells the pump how fast to run to supply the correct amount of fuel. It’s a common point of failure often misdiagnosed as a bad fuel pump.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed module will not work correctly. It may prevent the vehicle from starting or cause severe performance issues because it doesn’t have the specific software for your vehicle’s engine and systems. Our pre-programming service solves this entirely.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FSCM is the direct cause of a P069E trouble code (Fuel Pump Control Module Performance). Replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the standard, reliable repair for that code.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
The best method is to match the part number on your existing module to one of the compatible numbers listed (20877116, 20791901, 20827745, 20850927). Our detailed fitment list also covers the specified makes and models.
