Is Your 2012 Captiva Sport Stalling, Cranking with No Start, or Showing a P069E Code?
As a mechanic with over two decades of diagnostic experience, I’ve seen this exact scenario countless times. A customer’s vehicle, often a reliable GM truck or SUV, suddenly starts acting up. It might hesitate during acceleration, stall at a stoplight, or refuse to start altogether, even though it cranks perfectly. When I plug in my scan tool, the diagnostic trouble code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) is almost always present. This isn’t just a random glitch; it’s the classic sign of a failing Fuel System Control Module (FSCM).
The FSCM is the brain of your fuel delivery system. It receives commands from the Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump. This ensures your engine gets the exact amount of fuel it needs under all conditions. When this module fails, that communication breaks down, leading to inconsistent fuel pressure and the frustrating, and sometimes dangerous, symptoms you’re experiencing.

Expert Pro Tip: Check Your Connections
Before installing your new FSCM, take a moment to inspect the wiring harness connector. A customer’s 2011 Sierra came in last week with a P069E code. While the FSCM had failed, the root cause was water intrusion that had corroded the connector pins, causing a short. Always check for any green or white crusty buildup on the pins and clean them with a contact cleaner and a small brush to ensure a solid connection and prevent premature failure of your new part.
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Replacing the FSCM on your 2012 Captiva Sport is a job you can do in your own driveway. The module is located in the left-hand (driver’s side) rear compartment area. Following these steps will get you back on the road quickly.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On your Captiva Sport, access the LH rear compartment to find the old FSCM. On other vehicles like trucks, it’s often mounted to the frame rail.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting location.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FSCM into place. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming needed.
