Restore Power and Reliability to Your GM Truck or SUV
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine stalls, hard starting, or a sudden loss of power in your 2009 Hummer H3, the culprit is often a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen this exact issue countless times on GM vehicles. The FPCM, often called a fuel pump driver module, is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to supply. When it fails, your engine is starved of fuel, leading to unpredictable and unsafe driving conditions. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that needs a reliable solution.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine GM module and pre-program it with the latest factory software, specifically coded to your vehicle’s VIN. This means you can bypass the expensive trip to the dealership for programming. You get a part that works correctly right out of the box, restoring the precise fuel delivery your engine was designed for. By ordering this 2009 Hummer H3 FPCM, you’re not just buying a part—you’re buying peace of mind.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in a 2008 Silverado 1500 with classic symptoms: it would crank but not start, and sometimes it would stall while driving. The fuel pump had already been replaced twice at another shop. My scan tool pulled a DTC P069E, pointing to the FPCM. These modules are mounted on the frame rail, exposed to water, salt, and vibration, causing internal corrosion and failure. We installed one of our pre-programmed FPCMs, and the truck fired up instantly and ran perfectly. The customer saved hundreds by avoiding a third pump and dealership programming fees. It’s a textbook example of why diagnosing the *entire* fuel system, including the controller, is critical.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump. Before you spend hundreds on a pump you might not need, check if your vehicle is exhibiting these common signs of a faulty module:
- âś” Engine cranks but refuses to start.
- âś” Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls.
- âś” Stuttering, hesitation, or surging during acceleration.
- âś” “Reduced Engine Power” message displayed on the dashboard.
- âś” Check Engine Light is on with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- âś” Inconsistent fuel pressure readings.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2009 Hummer H3 FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Since it comes pre-programmed, there are no special electronics or software required.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On most of these GM vehicles, the FPCM is mounted to the frame rail, typically on the driver’s side near the spare tire or above the rear axle. On the Hummer H3, it’s located on the rear frame.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as old plastic can be brittle. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location. Ensure it’s mounted securely to prevent damage from vibration.
- Reconnect Everything: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module until they click. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Final Check: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the fuel system to prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This Fuel Pump Control Module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. It’s a plug-and-play solution that requires no additional programming or trips to the dealership.
Where do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we have programmed it with this information.
Is this part compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 13501024, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325.
What tools do I need for installation?
Installation typically only requires basic hand tools, such as a socket set to remove the bolts holding the module to the frame. No specialized electronic tools are needed.
How do I know if my FPCM is bad and not my fuel pump?
Common FPCM failure symptoms include stalling, no-starts, and a ‘Reduced Engine Power’ light. Diagnostic codes like P069E specifically point to the FPCM. While symptoms can overlap, checking for these codes is a good way to differentiate.
