Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine performance issues like sputtering, loss of power, or a vehicle that cranks but won’t start, the culprit is often a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen this part cause more headaches than almost any other electronic component on these GM vehicles, especially because of its vulnerable mounting location on the frame rail, exposed to water, salt, and vibrations.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the hassle and high cost of a dealership visit out of the equation. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our experts will flash this module with the latest, most stable GM software specific to your truck or SUV. It arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation.

A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
A customer brought in his 2008 Sierra 1500 that would randomly die while driving and was becoming hard to start. He’d already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan showed a P069E codeโa classic FPCM communication fault. The original module on the frame rail was heavily corroded. Instead of towing it to a dealer for programming, we installed one of these VIN-flashed modules in under 30 minutes. The truck fired right up and has run flawlessly since. This part saved him hundreds in diagnostic time, towing, and dealer programming fees.
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Follow these general steps to get your vehicle running smoothly again. Always consult a vehicle-specific repair manual for detailed instructions and torque specs.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most trucks and SUVs like the Tahoe or Silverado, it’s mounted on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other models (like the Traverse or Colorado), it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector and unbolt the old module from the frame. Be sure to clean the connector terminals if there’s any sign of corrosion.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place.
- Reconnect: Securely plug in the electrical connector until it clicks.
- Final Step: Reconnect the battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
- A: The FPCM, or Fuel Pump Driver Module, acts like a smart relay. It receives commands from the main engine computer (ECM) and precisely regulates the voltage and speed of the fuel pump to deliver the exact amount of fuel the engine needs under different conditions.
- Q: Why do you need my VIN?
- A: Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to load the exact, correct GM software calibration for your specific vehicle’s engine, transmission, and emissions equipment. This ensures perfect operation and compatibility, eliminating the need for dealer programming.
- Q: How do I know if my FPCM is the problem?
- A: Common symptoms include engine stalling, hesitation on acceleration, long crank times, a no-start condition, and a Check Engine Light with codes like P069E or P0230. A visual inspection often reveals corrosion on the module’s aluminum housing.
- Q: Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
- A: For someone with basic mechanical skills and tools, this is a very manageable repair. The module is typically held on by just a few bolts and has one electrical connector. The most difficult part is often just accessing it safely under the vehicle.
- Q: Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
- A: Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FPCM is the direct cause of a P069E code. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the standard and effective repair for that fault.
