Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating fuel delivery issues in your 2007-2009 GM vehicle, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is one of the most common culprits. Symptoms can appear suddenly, leaving you stranded. You might experience engine cranking with no start, sudden stalling while driving, a ‘Reduced Engine Power’ warning light, or diagnostic trouble codes like P069E or U0109. Before you spend a fortune replacing the entire fuel pump, consider this critical component.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
“A customer brought in his ’08 Silverado 1500 that kept dying at stoplights. He’d already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. We hooked up the scanner and saw no communication with the FPCM (code U0109). A quick look under the truck confirmed my suspicion: the original module, mounted on the frame rail, was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and water. We installed a pre-programmed module, and the truck ran perfectly. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the control side first saves hundreds of dollars and a lot of unnecessary work.”

Simple Installation Guide
Replacing the FPCM is a straightforward job for a DIYer with basic tools. The module is typically located on the vehicle’s frame. While exact steps may vary slightly by model, here is a general guide:
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon), it’s on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other models like the Colorado or Traverse, it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Check the connector for any corrosion and clean it with an electrical contact cleaner if necessary. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. It’s wise to apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the connector pins to protect against future moisture intrusion.
- Reconnect: Securely plug in the electrical connector until it clicks. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Final Check: Start the vehicle. It may take a few extra seconds of cranking for the fuel system to re-pressurize. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How do I know if my Fuel Pump Control Module is bad?
- A: Common signs include the engine cranking but not starting, stalling, hesitation during acceleration, a check engine light with codes like P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination), and loss of communication codes like U0109.
- Q: Why do I need to provide my VIN?
- A: Your VIN is essential for us to load the correct GM-specified software for your vehicle’s exact configuration. This ensures perfect compatibility and function without requiring any additional programming on your end.
- Q: Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
- A: For most individuals with basic mechanical skills, this is a very manageable repair. The module is typically in an accessible location on the frame and requires only simple hand tools for removal and installation.
- Q: Will this module fit my vehicle?
- A: This FPCM fits a wide range of 2007-2009 GM vehicles, including the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, Suburban, Hummer H2, and many others. Please refer to the detailed fitment list to confirm compatibility.
- Q: What happens if I don’t program the module?
- A: An unprogrammed module will not communicate correctly with your vehicle’s other computers, like the ECM. This will result in a no-start condition and is why our pre-programming service is so valuable.
