Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your truck or van experiencing frustrating issues like stalling at stoplights, long crank times, or a sudden loss of power? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel Pump Driver Module. This component is the electronic brain that tells your fuel pump how much fuel to deliver to the engine. When it falters, it can leave you stranded. This direct-fit FPCM is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN for a hassle-free installation.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent Stall Case
I remember a 2008 Silverado that came into my bay with a complaint that drove the owner crazy: it would randomly stall and sometimes refuse to restart for 10-15 minutes. It threw a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF). The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the issue. After checking the wiring for corrosion—a common problem on these trucks where the module is exposed on the frame rail—I confirmed the FPCM itself was the culprit. Heat soak was causing an internal failure. We installed one of these pre-programmed modules, and the truck has run flawlessly ever since. It’s a textbook example of why correctly diagnosing and replacing the FPCM is crucial.
Is Your GM Truck or Van Showing These Signs?
A failing FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems. Before you replace an expensive fuel pump, check if your vehicle is exhibiting any of these common symptoms. This module is often the root cause.
- ✔ Engine stalls unexpectedly, especially when warm
- ✔ Vehicle cranks but will not start (no-start condition)
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
- ✔ “Service Fuel System” message on the driver information center
The Smart Solution: Pre-Programmed for Your VIN
Typically, replacing an FPCM requires a trip to the dealership for expensive programming with a specialized scan tool. Our process eliminates that step entirely. We flash this module with the latest GM software updates using the VIN you provide at checkout. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s powertrain control module (PCM) and other systems right out of the box. For a professional mechanic, this saves valuable bay time. For the DIYer, it saves hundreds of dollars and the headache of scheduling a dealer appointment. This is the most efficient way to get your 2008-2009 Savana 1500 FPCM replaced correctly.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2008-2009 Savana 1500 FPCM is a manageable job for anyone with basic tools. The module is typically located on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM mounted to the vehicle’s frame. It’s a small, finned aluminum box with electrical connectors.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical harnesses. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the module to the frame. Note that these bolts can be rusty, so a little penetrating oil can help.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location. Reconnect the electrical harnesses, ensuring they click securely into place.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds without starting the engine to allow the system to initialize, then start the vehicle to confirm the repair.
