Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in a 2011 Sierra with a classic no-start complaint. The engine would crank but never fire. They had already replaced the fuel pump themselves, assuming it was the obvious fix, but the problem persisted. On my diagnostic scanner, I pulled code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. Instead of just throwing parts at it, we checked the command signal to the FSCM. The powertrain module was sending the signal, but the FSCM wasn’t activating the pump. This simple check confirmed the FSCM was the point of failure. By replacing the module, not the pump again, we saved the customer hundreds of dollars and fixed the issue on the first try. This is a common scenario I’ve seen in my shop hundreds of times across the GM lineup.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A faulty FSCM can cause a range of performance problems that are often misdiagnosed. Before you replace a perfectly good fuel pump, check if you’re experiencing any of these common signs of a failing fuel module:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls
- ✔ Severe hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ “Reduced Engine Power” message on the dashboard
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, P0230, or U0109 (Loss of Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module)
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the 2012 Captiva Sport FSCM is a job most DIY mechanics can handle. The module is typically located in an accessible spot, often on the frame rail or near the rear crossmember, depending on your specific model.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Old Module: On the Captiva Sport, you’ll find the FSCM in the left-hand rear compartment area. On trucks and SUVs, it’s often mounted to the driver-side frame rail.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle to avoid breaking the locking tabs. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting location.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FSCM into place. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into position.
- Reconnect Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- Final Check: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the fuel system to prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN is essential for us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations for your specific vehicle. This ensures perfect compatibility and function, eliminating the need for you to have it programmed at a dealership.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes! Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, it arrives ready for installation. No additional programming or calibration is required. Just install it, and you’re ready to go.
Where is the FSCM located on my 2012 Captiva Sport?
On the 2012 Captiva Sport, the Fuel System Control Module is typically found in the left-hand (driver’s side) rear compartment area, making it accessible for replacement.
Can a bad FSCM drain my battery?
While less common, a faulty FSCM can sometimes fail to shut down correctly, causing a parasitic draw that can drain the battery when the vehicle is off. If you have a dead battery along with fuel-related symptoms, the FSCM is a strong suspect.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, the diagnostic trouble code P069E is one of the most common indicators of a failed Fuel System Control Module. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for this code.
