Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that cranks but won’t fire up, or one that dies unexpectedly in traffic. If your 2010-2012 GM vehicle is experiencing these issues, often accompanied by a check engine light with code P069E, the culprit is very likely a failed Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen this exact scenario play out hundreds of times on Silverados, Tahoes, Sierras, and Escalades. The original module, often mounted on the frame rail, is exposed to years of moisture and road salt, leading to internal corrosion and failure.
The Dealership-Free Solution: A True Plug-and-Play GM Fuel Control Module
Don’t waste time and money on a tow to the dealership for a costly diagnosis and programming fee. We provide a direct, reliable solution. This Fuel System Control Module is not just a replacement part; it’s a complete fix. We use your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to program the module with the latest, most stable software from General Motors before it ever leaves our facility. When it arrives at your door, it’s ready for a simple, straightforward installation.
Expert Pro Tip: Before installing the new module, take a moment to inspect and clean the electrical connector. On frame-mounted units, road grime and moisture can build up in the connector pins. A quick spray with electronics cleaner and a gentle scrub with a small brush can prevent poor contact and ensure a long, reliable service life for your new FSCM. This simple step prevents a host of future headaches.
Symptoms of a Failing FSCM:
If you’re noticing any of the following, a bad fuel control module is the most probable cause:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls
- โ Intermittent stalling, especially during acceleration
- โ Reduced engine power and poor performance
- โ Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated with code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF)
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Getting your vehicle running properly again is a simple DIY job that can be done with basic hand tools. Hereโs a general guide for a typical GM truck:
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Silverado or Yukon, the FSCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically near the spare tire. On cars like the CTS or LaCrosse, it may be in the trunk or rear compartment.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector and remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module to the frame or chassis.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Ensure the electrical connector clicks securely into its socket.
- Reconnect and Start: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start with fuel pressure properly restored.
