Restore Your Hummer’s Power and Reliability
Is your 2008-2009 Hummer H2 experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation, or a complete no-start condition? Before you consider replacing the entire fuel pump, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the driver-side frame rail, this critical component is exposed to harsh elements, leading to corrosion and internal failure. This module is a direct-fit replacement, arriving pre-programmed with the latest GM software specifically for your vehicle’s VIN. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you time and money.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall Case
I remember a 2008 H2 that came into my shop with a complaint that would drive any owner crazy: it would randomly stall at low speeds and sometimes refuse to restart for 10-15 minutes. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A scan showed a stored history code, P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF), but no active faults. Instead of just throwing more parts at it, we put it on the lift. The FPCM, mounted to the frame rail, looked fine from a distance, but upon removal, the back of the aluminum housing was heavily corroded and swollen. Water had seeped in and compromised the circuit board. We installed a new, VIN-programmed FPCM, and the H2 ran perfectly. It’s a classic failure I’ve seen on dozens of these GM trucks and SUVs.
Is Your Hummer Exhibiting These Fueling Issues?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls
- ✔ Sudden loss of engine power while driving
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling on acceleration
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2008-2009 Hummer H2 FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle in their own driveway. Since we program the module to your VIN before shipping, no further electronic work is needed.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the FPCM mounted to the inside of the driver-side frame rail, typically located above the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle to avoid breaking the locking tabs. Then, unbolt the module from the frame. These bolts may be rusty, so applying penetrating oil beforehand is a good idea.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new FPCM into the original location. A light coat of dielectric grease on the connector pins is recommended to prevent future corrosion. Reconnect the electrical harnesses until 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 your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and it will arrive ready for a plug-and-play installation.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Hummer H2?
The Fuel Pump Control Module on the 2008-2009 Hummer H2 is mounted to the inside of the driver-side frame rail, generally above the spare tire area.
How do I provide my VIN?
You can add your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the notes section during the checkout process or send it to us in a message after you complete your purchase.
What’s the difference between the FPCM and the in-tank fuel pump?
The in-tank fuel pump is the mechanical pump that moves gasoline. The FPCM is the computer that tells the pump how fast to run based on engine demand. A bad FPCM can make a good fuel pump seem faulty.
Is this a reliable fix for a P069E code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FPCM is the root cause of a P069E trouble code on these GM vehicles. Replacing it with our pre-programmed module is the correct and lasting repair.
