Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine performance issues in your 2008-2009 GM vehicle, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is one of the most common culprits. I’ve seen it hundreds of times in my shop: a check engine light with a P069E code, a vehicle that cranks but won’t start, or sudden stalling in traffic. These symptoms point directly to a failing FPCM, which can no longer properly regulate fuel pressure.
Don’t let a small electronic module leave you stranded. This is a direct-fit Fuel Pump Control Module, pre-programmed specifically to your vehicle’s VIN. This isn’t just a part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution that saves you a trip to the dealership and the high costs associated with their programming services.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Sudden engine stalling, especially under load
- โ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- โ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- โ Check Engine Light illuminated with code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF)
Real-World Diagnosis: A Technician’s Experience
“A customer’s 2008 Silverado 1500 came in last week with the classic P069E code and a no-start condition. He’d already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the issue, but the problem persisted. We immediately checked the FPCM, which is mounted on the driver-side frame rail. As expected, years of exposure to road salt and moisture had corroded the housing and compromised the internal electronics. Installing a VIN-programmed module like this one had his truck running perfectly in under 20 minutes. It’s a textbook failure on these vehicles.”
Why Choose Our Pre-Programmed 2008-2009 GM Fuel Module?
This module is flashed with the latest GM-certified software using the VIN you provide. This ensures perfect communication between the FPCM, the fuel pump, and your vehicle’s main computer (ECM). You get a part that is truly plug-and-play, restoring your vehicle’s performance and reliability right out of the box.
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon), the FPCM is mounted on 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. Refer to your service manual for the exact location.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector and remove the bolts securing the old module to the frame.
- Inspect the Connector: Before installing the new module, carefully inspect the vehicle’s harness connector for any signs of corrosion (green or white powder). Clean it thoroughly with an electrical contact cleaner if needed.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new VIN-programmed FPCM into place and securely reconnect the electrical harness.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is complete.
Expert Pro Tip: Protect Your New Module
The original FPCM failed due to its exposed location. When installing your new module, I highly recommend applying a thin layer of dielectric grease to the inside of the electrical connector. This simple step helps seal out moisture and prevent the corrosion that causes these modules to fail in the first place, significantly extending the life of your new part.
