Is Your GM Truck or SUV Leaving You Stranded?
There’s nothing more frustrating than turning the key and getting nothing, or having your engine stall unexpectedly in traffic. If your 2010-2012 Avalanche, Silverado, Tahoe, or other GM vehicle is suffering from erratic starting, hesitation, or stalling, a faulty Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) is the most likely culprit. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue that puts you on the sidelines. Don’t settle for guesswork or pay expensive dealership diagnostic and programming fees. This is the direct, reliable solution you need to get back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing FSCM can manifest in several ways, often triggering the check engine light. You might be experiencing:
- Complete no-start or extended cranking times
- Engine stalling while driving, especially at low speeds
- Stuttering or hesitation during acceleration
- An inaccurate or non-functioning fuel gauge
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109

Expert Insight: Why VIN-Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners try to save a few dollars by installing a used or non-programmed FSCM. It almost never ends well. The Fuel System Control Module is the brain of your fuel delivery system; it must communicate perfectly with the Engine Control Module (ECM) and Body Control Module (BCM). Without being programmed to your specific VIN, the module won’t recognize your vehicle, leading to continued no-start issues or even creating new, more complex electronic problems. Our VIN-programming service ensures this critical ‘handshake’ between modules happens flawlessly, just as the factory intended, guaranteeing a successful repair the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this part to a dealer for programming?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready to be installed, saving you the time, cost, and hassle of a dealership visit.
Where is the FSCM located on my truck?
On most GM trucks and full-size SUVs like the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, and Yukon, the FSCM is typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. It’s exposed to the elements, which is a primary reason for its failure.
How do I provide you with my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can send us a message with your 17-digit VIN, or add it to the ‘notes to seller’ section during checkout. We cannot ship the part until we have your VIN to program it.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) is the most common diagnostic code indicating a failed FSCM. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the standard and most effective repair for this code.
My old module has a different part number. Will this still work?
Absolutely. This module is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 20791901, 20827745, 20850927, and 20877116. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
