Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re pulling your hair out over a persistent fuel delivery issue on your 2010-2012 GM vehicle, you’re not alone. I’ve seen countless trucks and SUVs roll into my bay with symptoms like sudden stalling, rough idling, extended crank times, and the dreaded Check Engine Light with code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). Many owners immediately suspect the fuel pump, spend hundreds on a replacement, only to have the exact same problem return. The real culprit is often this small but critical component: the Fuel System Control Module (FSCM).
“A customer’s 2011 Silverado 1500 came in last week with these exact symptoms. He was convinced his new fuel pump was faulty. After a quick diagnostic scan, I saw the P069E code and checked the live data from the FSCM. It was commanding full pressure, but the feedback was erratic. We found the original module, mounted on the frame rail, was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. A new, properly programmed module fixed his issue in under 30 minutes.”
The Plug-and-Play Solution: A Pre-Programmed GM Fuel Control Module
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. The biggest headache with replacing an FSCM is that a new one from the dealer is just a blank box. It requires a trip to a shop with expensive scan tools for programming, adding time and significant cost to your repair. We eliminate that step entirely. By providing us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, we will program this module with the latest, most stable GM-certified software specific to your exact vehicle. It arrives at your door ready for a simple, direct installation.

Easy DIY Installation Guide
You don’t need to be a master technician to complete this repair. With basic hand tools, you can get your vehicle running right in your own driveway.
- 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 to the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On cars (CTS, LaCrosse), it’s typically in the trunk or rear compartment area.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module to the chassis.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed module into place.
- Reconnect: Securely plug in the electrical connectors. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock into place. Reconnect the battery terminal.
- Final Step: Start the engine. The vehicle will now recognize the new module and operate with the correct fuel pressure. We recommend clearing any old fault codes with a basic code reader.
Expert Pro Tip: Inspect Your Connectors
Before plugging in your new module, take a moment to inspect the vehicle-side harness connectors. Because these modules are often in exposed locations, the wiring can become corroded, leading to poor contact and intermittent faults. Use a small brush and electrical contact cleaner to clean out any green or white powder from the terminals. A clean connection is critical for the long-term health of your new FSCM.
Don’t guess with your fuel system or pay for unnecessary programming. Get the right part, programmed correctly from the start. Provide your VIN, and let us send you the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
