Is Your 2009 Canyon Stalling or Not Starting? The Fuel Pump Module is a Likely Culprit.
If you’re experiencing frustrating engine problems like stalling, hesitation during acceleration, or a complete no-start condition in your 2009 GMC Canyon, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is often the root cause. This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. Unlike older systems that ran the pump at full speed all the time, the FPCM ensures your engine gets the exact amount of fuel it needs, improving efficiency and performance. When it fails, it can leave you stranded.
This replacement Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 20759945, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s reliability. The most significant advantage of purchasing from us is that we program the module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This means you receive a part that is truly plug-and-play, eliminating the need for an expensive and time-consuming visit to the dealership for programming.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Sierra come into the shop with a classic ‘crank-no-start’ condition. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. A quick scan with our diagnostic tool revealed code U0109 – ‘Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module’. We located the module on the driver-side frame rail, a common spot for these GM trucks, and found it heavily corroded from years of exposure to the elements. A new, pre-programmed FPCM had the truck running perfectly in under 30 minutes. Always check the FPCM before condemning the more expensive in-tank pump!
Diagnosing a Failing 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Module
A failing FPCM doesn’t always result in a complete no-start situation right away. It can manifest through a variety of performance issues. If you’re noticing any of the following symptoms, it’s time to inspect your fuel pump module.
Is Your GM Truck or SUV Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start
- ✔ Stalling unexpectedly, especially when the engine is warm or under load
- ✔ Severe hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Noticeable loss of engine power and poor overall performance
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, P025A, or U0109
- ✔ Inconsistent or erratic fuel pressure readings

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this module need to be programmed?
The Fuel Pump Control Module communicates with your vehicle’s main computer (ECU/PCM) over the CAN bus network. Programming with your VIN ensures that the module has the correct software and calibration files to operate seamlessly with your specific vehicle’s engine, transmission, and fuel system. Without proper programming, the vehicle will not start or run correctly.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 GMC Canyon?
On the 2009 GMC Canyon and its sibling, the Chevy Colorado, the FPCM is typically mounted to the frame, near the rear center of the vehicle. It’s often located near the spare tire. Always consult a service manual for the exact location on your vehicle before beginning work.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical replacement is straightforward. It usually involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connector, and removing a few bolts. Since our module comes pre-programmed, you avoid the most difficult part of the job, which is the electronic setup. This makes it a very manageable DIY repair.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed or incorrectly programmed module will not allow the fuel pump to operate. Your vehicle will crank but will not start because it is not receiving fuel. This is why our VIN programming service is essential for a successful repair.
How do I provide my VIN after purchase?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive and validate your VIN, as this information is required for the programming process.
