Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
A faulty Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) is one of the most common reasons for erratic fuel delivery and frustrating engine performance issues in modern GM vehicles. If you’re experiencing a sudden loss of power, a check engine light with fuel system codes, or a no-start condition, your FSCM has likely failed. This module is the brain of your fuel pump, and when it malfunctions, it can leave you stranded. Don’t settle for guesswork; get the definitive solution that restores your vehicle’s reliability and performance.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing FSCM can manifest in several ways, often triggering Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P069E, P0230, P0606, or U0109. You might notice your engine cranking but not starting, stalling while driving, or a noticeable hesitation under acceleration. This isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a critical issue that compromises your vehicle’s dependability.

Expert Insight: Why Do FSCMs Fail?
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve replaced hundreds of these modules. On most GM trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Tahoe, and Escalade, the FSCM is mounted to the frame rail. This location exposes it to years of water, road salt, and vibration. Over time, moisture seeps past the seals, causing corrosion on the circuit board and leading to intermittent or complete failure. When you receive our Programmed 20791901 Fuel System Control Module, you’re not just getting a part; you’re getting a reliable solution that corrects this common engineering vulnerability and gets your vehicle back to work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module for you before it ships. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during or after checkout, and it will arrive ready for a plug-and-play installation.
What is a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM)?
The FSCM, also known as a Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), is a small computer that controls the voltage sent to your vehicle’s electric fuel pump. Instead of running the pump at full speed all the time, the FSCM regulates its speed based on engine demand, which improves efficiency and the lifespan of the pump.
Where is this module located on my vehicle?
Location varies by model. On most trucks and large SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade), it’s typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. On other vehicles like sedans and crossovers (CTS, Acadia, LaCrosse), it can be found in the trunk area or on a rear crossmember.
How do I provide my VIN?
You can add your 17-digit VIN to the notes section at checkout or send it to us in a message after you place your order. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN to program it correctly.
What happens if the part numbers don’t match exactly?
This module is a compatible replacement for several part numbers, including 20791901, 20827745, 20877116, and 20850927. The crucial factor is the programming to your vehicle’s VIN, which ensures it functions correctly regardless of the number stamped on your old part.
