Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your truck or SUV suffering from frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation during acceleration, or a dreaded crank-no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen these modules cause countless headaches for vehicle owners. Located on the frame rail, they are exposed to harsh elements, leading to internal failures that disrupt fuel delivery and leave you stranded. This module is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get you back on the road with confidence.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install fix. We take the guesswork and expense out of the repair by pre-programming this module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means it arrives at your door with the latest GM factory software updates, ensuring optimal performance and communication with your vehicle’s computer systems. You get to skip the costly trip to the dealership for programming—a savings of both time and money.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent No-Start Mystery
A customer brought in their ’09 Colorado, complaining it would randomly crank but not start, especially on hot days. They had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. We checked fuel pressure, and it was erratic. Instead of a steady reading, it would jump around before dropping off. A scan revealed a stored DTC P069E – ‘Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On’. This code pointed directly to the FPCM. After replacing the module with a VIN-programmed unit, the fuel pressure stabilized immediately, and the truck started reliably every time. The original module’s exposure to road grime and heat had cooked the internal electronics, causing an intermittent failure that was tricky to pin down without looking at the live data.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A faulty FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when coming to a stop
- ✔ Severe engine hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light (CEL) with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
One of the best features of this module is its simple, direct-fit installation. With basic hand tools, most DIY mechanics can complete this job in under an hour.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On the 2009 Colorado/Canyon, the FPCM is typically mounted to the rear center frame crossmember. On most other GM trucks and SUVs, it’s on the driver-side (LH) frame rail, often near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location using the original hardware.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You’ll hear a click when they are secure.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is complete.
