Restore Your Truck’s Reliability and Performance
If your 2009 Chevrolet Colorado is suddenly stalling, hesitating under acceleration, or refusing to start, the culprit is often a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the frame rail, these modules are constantly exposed to road salt, water, and vibration, leading to internal corrosion and electronic failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that can leave you stranded. This replacement FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the direct, reliable solution to get your truck back in dependable running order.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I had a 2009 Colorado in my bay that was a real head-scratcher for the owner. He’d already replaced the in-tank fuel pump, but the truck would still intermittently stall at red lights and throw a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). He was frustrated and out of ideas. After connecting my scan tool and monitoring the FPCM data, I saw erratic voltage commands being sent to the pump. The module was failing under load. We installed this exact pre-programmed 2009 Colorado Fuel Pump Module, cleared the codes, and the truck ran perfectly. It’s a classic example of why you can’t just throw parts at a problem—diagnosing the control side is key.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump, but there are specific signs to watch for. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is likely the fix you need:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially when coming to a stop or at idle
- ✔ Severe hesitation or power loss during acceleration
- ✔ An illuminated Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P069E
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings
The Power of Pre-Programming: A True Plug-and-Play Fix
One of the biggest hurdles in replacing modern vehicle electronics is the need for expensive, dealer-level programming. We eliminate that step entirely. Before this module ships, we will flash it with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures seamless communication with your truck’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and correct fuel pressure regulation right out of the box. No trips to the dealership, no need for a high-end scan tool—just a straightforward installation to solve your fuel delivery problems. This is the most efficient way to replace your 2009 Colorado Fuel Pump Module.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers with basic tools can handle in their own driveway. For the 2009 Colorado, it’s typically located on the rear center frame crossmember.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the FPCM mounted to the frame. It’s a small, finned aluminum box with an electrical connector.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector, pressing the release tab. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed 2009 Colorado Fuel Pump Module in the same location and tighten the fasteners.
- Reconnect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module until it clicks. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Cycle the Key: Turn the ignition key to the ‘On’ position (without starting) for 10 seconds to allow the system to prime, then start the engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming after I receive this part?
No. This module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. It is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you a trip to the dealer.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you must provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We use this to load the correct GM software for your specific vehicle.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Colorado?
On the 2009 Chevrolet Colorado, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted on the rear center frame crossmember, near the spare tire.
Is this part the same as a Fuel Pump Driver Module?
Yes, the terms Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) and Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) are often used interchangeably for this component. Its function is to regulate the voltage sent to the fuel pump.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FPCM is the root cause of a P069E code. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the standard, effective repair.
