Is Your Captiva Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
As a mechanic with over 20 years in the bay, I’ve seen it all. A vehicle cranks perfectly but won’t fire up, or it dies intermittently at a stoplight. The first suspect for many is the fuel pump, but on many modern GM vehicles, the real culprit is often this small but critical component: the Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). If you’re experiencing erratic fuel pressure, stalling, or have a dreaded P069E trouble code, you’ve likely found your problem.

We take your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN, program the module with the very latest GM-certified software, and ship it directly to you. This ensures perfect communication between the module and your vehicle’s computer systems, restoring performance and reliability.
A Technician’s Real-World Experience
“A customer’s 2012 Captiva Sport came into the shop last week with these exact symptomsโcrank, no start. They had already replaced the fuel pump themselves, but the issue remained. A quick scan with my pro-level tool showed code P069E, ‘Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF.’ I knew right away it was the FSCM. On the Captiva, it’s located in the left rear compartment, but on many GM trucks, it’s mounted to the frame rail, where it’s constantly exposed to water, salt, and vibration, leading to premature failure. This pre-programmed module had them back on the road in under an hour without a costly dealer visit.”
Key Symptoms of a Failing 2012 Captiva Fuel Module
If your vehicle is exhibiting any of these signs, a faulty FSCM is the most likely cause:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Stalling or hesitation, especially under load
- โ Reduced engine power and poor acceleration
- โ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
- โ Inconsistent fuel gauge readings
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Installing your new FSCM is a straightforward process you can do at home. Once you receive your VIN-programmed module, follow these simple steps:
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On the 2012 Captiva Sport, the FSCM is found in the left hand (driver’s side) rear compartment area. On trucks and other SUVs, it’s typically on the driver’s side frame rail.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, unbolt the old module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FSCM into place and securely reconnect the electrical connectors.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and enjoy restored performance!
