Is Your GM Truck or Van Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
A sudden loss of power, an engine that cranks but won’t catch, or a frustrating check engine light can bring your day to a halt. For many owners of 2008-2009 GM vehicles, these symptoms point directly to a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded. This module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s reliability and performance.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Silverado 1500 towed in that would crank all day but never start. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the obvious fix, but the problem persisted. A quick scan revealed the notorious P069E trouble code: ‘Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF’. We went straight to the FPCM, mounted on the driver’s side frame rail cross-member. Just as we suspected, years of exposure to road salt and moisture had corroded the housing and damaged the internal electronics. A new, programmed module had the truck running perfectly in under an hour. Don’t waste money on the pump until you’ve checked this common failure point!
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load or when warm.
- ✔ Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration.
- ✔ Noticeable loss of engine power and poor performance.
- ✔ Reduced fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light illuminated with codes like P069E, P0230, or P0606.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. It arrives at your door ready to be installed, with no additional programming required.
Where is the FPCM located on my vehicle?
On most compatible trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Sierra, and Tahoe, the FPCM is located on a frame cross-member, typically above the spare tire. On vans like the Express and Savana, it’s usually mounted on the driver-side frame rail. Always consult a service manual for your specific model to confirm the location.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your VIN. The programming is essential for the part to function correctly in your vehicle. Our customer service team will contact you to retrieve the VIN, which may delay your order. Please provide it during checkout to ensure the fastest processing.
Is this a direct replacement for my original part?
Yes, this is a direct-fit replacement for the compatible part numbers listed. It is designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications and is loaded with the latest GM software for improved reliability.
What is the most common trouble code for a bad FPCM?
The most common diagnostic trouble code (DTC) associated with a failing FPCM on these GM vehicles is P069E, which indicates a fault in the fuel pump control module communication or performance.
