Is Your 2012 Impala Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
As a mechanic with over two decades of diagnostic experience, I’ve seen countless drivers replace their fuel pump, only to have the same frustrating problems return. If your 2012 Impala is experiencing erratic fuel delivery, a no-start condition, or has a Check Engine Light with codes like P069E or P0230, the issue is often not the pump itself, but its controller: the Fuel System Control Module (FSCM).
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine GM module and professionally program it with the latest official software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you time and hundreds of dollars.
From the Shop Floor: A Common Misdiagnosis
“A customer’s 2012 Impala came in last week with these exact symptomsโit would crank but not start. They had already spent money on a new fuel pump with no success. After plugging in my scan tool, I saw the classic ‘Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module’ code. The problem was this little black box, the FSCM, located in the right rear quarter panel. On the Impala, its placement makes it susceptible to moisture intrusion over time, leading to internal corrosion and failure. We swapped in a pre-programmed module like this one, and the car fired right up. It’s a fix I’ve done hundreds of times on these GM platforms.”
