Restore Your Truck’s Reliability and Power
Is your 2007-2009 GMC Sierra 1500 or other GM truck suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? These are classic, frustrating signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it leaves you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a safety concern. Don’t let a faulty module dictate your day.
We offer a direct-fit, reliable solution: a replacement FPCM programmed specifically for your vehicle. The biggest hurdle in this repair is typically the need for expensive dealership programming. We eliminate that step entirely. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and our technicians will flash this module with the latest, most stable GM software before it even ships. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s computer systems and restores factory performance. This is the most efficient way to get your truck running right again.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Corroded Connector
I had a 2008 Silverado 1500 in my bay last month with a classic complaint: it would run fine for a while, then suddenly lose power and stall, usually after hitting a bump or driving in the rain. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. The codes were intermittent—U0109 (Lost Communication with FPCM) was the main clue. Knowing these trucks, I went straight to the FPCM mounted on the driver-side frame rail. Sure enough, years of exposure to road salt and moisture had corroded the module’s housing and pins. The connection was failing intermittently, starving the engine of fuel. Replacing it with a pre-programmed module like this one was a 15-minute fix that permanently solved a problem that had plagued the owner for months.
Is Your Truck Showing These Signs of FPCM Failure?
A failing fuel pump module can mimic other issues, but here are the most common red flags I see in the shop. If you’re experiencing any of these, the FPCM is a prime suspect.
- ✔ Engine cranks but won’t start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when warm
- ✔ Severe hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the 2007-2009 Sierra 1500 Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Since we program it for you, no special electronic equipment is needed.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs like the Sierra, Silverado, and Tahoe, you’ll find the FPCM mounted to the driver-side frame rail, typically above the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle, as the plastic clips can become brittle over time. Then, remove the bolts or nuts (usually 2 or 3) holding the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware. A dab of dielectric grease on the connector pins is a good practice to prevent future corrosion.
- Reconnect and Test: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to let the system pressurize, then start the engine. Your truck should now run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) allows us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations your specific vehicle requires. This ensures seamless communication with the ECU and other systems, preventing compatibility issues and error codes.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes! Because we pre-program it to your VIN, it is a true plug-and-play solution. Once installed, no further flashing or dealership visits are necessary.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Sierra 1500?
On the 2007-2009 Sierra/Silverado and similar GM trucks/SUVs, the FPCM is typically mounted on the outside of the driver-side frame rail, near the rear axle and above the spare tire.
What is the difference between an FPCM and the main computer (ECM)?
The ECM (Engine Control Module) is the main brain of the engine. The FPCM (Fuel Pump Control Module) is a smaller, dedicated computer that takes commands from the ECM and specifically controls the voltage and speed of the fuel pump.
Will this fix a P069E error code?
Yes, the diagnostic trouble code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On) is a very common indicator of a failing FPCM. Replacing the module is the standard, effective repair for this code, provided the wiring and fuel pump are in good condition.
