Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine performance issues like intermittent stalling, a long crank time, or a complete no-start condition, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is one of the most common culprits on these 2008-2009 GM vehicles. You might also have a check engine light with diagnostic trouble codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109. Before you spend hundreds on a new fuel pump you might not need, consider the component that controls it.
“A customer’s 2008 Silverado 1500 came in on a tow truck last month. It would crank but never start. Another shop had already quoted him over $1,000 for a new in-tank fuel pump. After a quick 15-minute diagnostic, I found the FPCM, mounted on the frame rail, was completely deadโno power output to the pump. Its location makes it incredibly vulnerable to water, salt, and corrosion. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up. It’s a repair I’ve done hundreds of times, and it saved the customer a massive headache and a lot of money.”
The Simple, Reliable Solution: A VIN-Programmed 2008-2009 Fuel Pump Module
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine OEM-quality FPCM and program it with the latest GM-released software specifically for your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This critical step ensures perfect communication between the FPCM, the Engine Control Module (ECM), and your fuel pump, restoring factory performance and efficiency.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load
- โ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- โ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- โ Check Engine Light with codes P069E, P0230, or U0109
- โ A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump, or no noise at all
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
One of the biggest benefits of our service is convenience. By pre-programming the module to your VIN, we eliminate the need for expensive dealer-only programming tools or a costly trip to the service department. This is a repair you can confidently perform in your own driveway.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Tahoe, Suburban, and Sierra, the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s 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 remove the bolts holding the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module in place and securely plug in the electrical connector.
- Reconnect and Start: Reconnect your battery terminal, cycle the key a few times to prime the system, and start your engine.
Expert Pro Tip: Prevent Future Failure
The original FPCM failed because of its exposure to the elements. Before plugging in your new module, inspect the vehicle-side harness connector for any green or white corrosion. Clean it thoroughly with a terminal brush and electrical contact cleaner. Once it’s clean and dry, apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the connector pins. This creates a moisture-proof seal that will protect your new module and ensure a solid connection for years to come.
