Restore Your Truck’s Power and Reliability
There’s nothing more frustrating than a truck that won’t start, hesitates, or leaves you stranded. If your 2007-2009 GMC Sierra 1500 is experiencing intermittent stalling, rough idling, or a no-start condition, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common cause. Located on the frame rail, these modules are exposed to harsh elements, leading to internal corrosion and failure over time. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical component for your engine’s performance and your safety on the road.
We offer a simple, permanent solution. This is a genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 20850907, that arrives at your door fully programmed to your truck’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. You get the latest GM software updates, ensuring optimal fuel pressure regulation and communication with your vehicle’s powertrain control module (PCM). It’s the most reliable and cost-effective way to get your truck running right again.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I remember a 2008 Silverado that came into my shop. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump twice, convinced it was the problem. The truck would run fine for a week, then suddenly stall at a red light. A quick scan showed a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). The issue wasn’t the pump; it was the FPCM failing under load. We installed a new, VIN-programmed module, and the truck has run flawlessly since. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the controller, not just the component it operates, saves the customer time and hundreds of dollars in unnecessary parts.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump. Before you spend time and money on the wrong part, check if your vehicle is exhibiting these common signs of a faulty fuel pump control module:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially when warm or under load
- ✔ Severe hesitation or loss of power during acceleration
- ✔ Check Engine Light (CEL) is illuminated
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109 stored in the PCM
- ✔ Reduced fuel economy
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2007-2009 Sierra 1500 FPCM is a job most DIY mechanics can handle in their own driveway. Since we’ve done the programming, your job is a simple bolt-on replacement.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs, the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Note their orientation. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame. These bolts can be rusty, so a little penetrating oil can help.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location. Ensure it is securely mounted.
- Reconnect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Key Cycle: Turn the ignition key to the ‘On’ position (without starting the engine) for 10-15 seconds to allow the system to initialize. Start the engine and verify proper operation.

Where do I find my VIN?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
Is this a new part?
Yes, this is a new, genuine GM component loaded with the latest vehicle-specific software. We do not sell used or rebuilt parts.
What tools do I need for installation?
Basic hand tools are all that’s required. Typically, you’ll need a socket set to remove the mounting bolts and potentially a small flathead screwdriver to help release the clips on the electrical connectors.
