Is Your GM Truck or SUV Cranking But Not Starting?
It’s one of the most frustrating vehicle problems: you turn the key, the engine spins, but it never fires up. Or maybe it starts, then sputters and dies unexpectedly. In my 20+ years as a diagnostic technician, I’ve seen this scenario countless times, especially on 2010-2012 GM vehicles. A customer’s 2011 Silverado 1500 came in last week with these exact symptoms. He’d already spent money on a new fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan revealed the real culprit: code U0109 – Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. The original module, exposed to the elements on the frame rail, had failed internally.
This isn’t just a part; it’s the brain behind your fuel delivery system. The Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), also known as a fuel pump driver module, precisely regulates the voltage sent to your in-tank fuel pump. When it fails, the pump doesn’t get the power it needs, leading to fuel starvation and the symptoms you’re experiencing.

Expert Pro Tip from a 20-Year Tech
Many of these modules fail due to corrosion at the mounting points, which compromises the ground connection. Before installing your new module, take a wire brush and thoroughly clean the mounting surface on the vehicle’s frame. A clean, metal-to-metal contact is critical for proper grounding and longevity. Applying a thin layer of dielectric grease to the connector pins and the mounting bolts will provide an extra layer of protection against future moisture intrusion.
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
You can get your vehicle back on the road in under an hour with basic hand tools. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the programming before we ship.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon), the FSCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. On other models (CTS, Impala, Acadia), it may be in the trunk or rear compartment area.
- Remove the Old Module: Unplug the electrical connector and remove the bolts or nuts securing the old module to the vehicle.
- Install the New Module: Secure your new, pre-programmed module in place with the original hardware. Ensure it is tightly fastened for a proper ground.
- Connect and Finalize: Plug in the electrical connector and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start.
