Is Your Silverado Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If your 2007, 2008, or 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is experiencing frustrating fuel delivery problems, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is the most common culprit. Symptoms like engine cranking but not starting, sudden stalling, poor acceleration, or a persistent Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or P025A often point directly to this critical component. The original module’s location on the frame rail leaves it vulnerable to corrosion from road salt, water, and debris, leading to internal electronic failure and leaving you stranded. Don’t replace the entire fuel pump assembly until you’ve checked the FPCM.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Sierra 1500 towed in with a classic ‘crank-no-start’ condition. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. He was frustrated and out hundreds of dollars. We hooked up our diagnostic scanner and saw no communication with the FPCM. A quick look under the truck confirmed our suspicions: the original module’s aluminum casing was swollen and corroded. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up on the first try. He could have saved a weekend of work and the cost of a fuel pump by starting with the real problem first.

This Fuel Pump Control Module is the definitive solution to get your truck running reliably again. Unlike modules from a dealership or local parts store, this unit arrives at your door fully programmed to your truck’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We load the latest, most stable software updates from GM, which often address the very issues that caused the original part to fail. This means no expensive trips to the dealer for programming, no special tools required, and no headaches. It is a true plug-and-play fix.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2007-2009 Silverado Fuel Module
- ✔ Check Engine Light: Often with FPCM-specific codes such as P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF).
- ✔ Engine Cranks but Won’t Start: The module isn’t commanding the fuel pump to turn on, so the engine isn’t getting fuel.
- ✔ Stalling: The engine may stall unexpectedly while driving or at idle due to inconsistent fuel pressure.
- ✔ Hesitation or Stumbling: Under acceleration, the truck may hesitate or feel like it’s losing power.
- ✔ Reduced Engine Power: The vehicle’s computer may enter a ‘limp mode’ to protect the engine.
- ✔ Rough Idle: Fluctuating fuel pressure can cause an unstable idle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that this module comes fully programmed to your specific VIN with the latest GM software. It is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you time and the high cost of dealership programming.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Silverado?
On most 2007-2009 GM trucks and SUVs like the Silverado and Sierra, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted to the frame rail on the driver’s side, often near the spare tire. Its exposure in this location is a primary reason for its high failure rate due to corrosion.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This allows us to access the correct GM software and program the module specifically for your vehicle’s configuration.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is straightforward. It typically involves safely raising the vehicle, locating the old module on the frame rail, disconnecting the electrical connector, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in its place. Since it’s pre-programmed, no further steps are needed once it’s installed.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, the diagnostic trouble code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) is one of the most common indicators of a failed FPCM. Replacing a faulty module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct and most effective repair for this code.
