Is Your 2009 Canyon Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a truck that won’t run reliably. If your 2009 GMC Canyon or other compatible GM vehicle is experiencing issues like engine cranking but not starting, sudden stalling while driving, hesitation under acceleration, or a persistent Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or P025A, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This small but critical electronic component is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the exact amount of fuel it needs under all conditions. When it fails, the entire fuel delivery system is compromised, leaving you stranded.
The Modern Solution to Fuel Delivery Problems
Unlike older systems that simply ran the fuel pump at full power all the time, modern vehicles like your Canyon use an FPCM for greater efficiency and longevity of the fuel pump. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sends a signal to the FPCM, which then modulates the power to the pump. This complex job means the module is susceptible to failure from heat, vibration, and electrical stress over time. A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump, leading to expensive and unnecessary repairs. Before you spend hundreds on a new in-tank pump, a thorough diagnosis of the FPCM is essential.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2008 Sierra 1500 towed in with a classic ‘crank-no-start’ condition. The owner, a savvy DIYer, had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the truck still wouldn’t fire up. He was convinced he had a deeper electrical issue. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw no communication with the Fuel Pump Control Module. A quick check of the module, located on the frame rail, revealed heavy corrosion on the housing and connectors—a common issue. We installed a new, pre-programmed FPCM, and the truck started instantly. The customer could have saved himself a full afternoon and the cost of a fuel pump by checking the FPCM first. It’s a powerful lesson in diagnosing the complete system, not just the most obvious part.
Your Plug-and-Play 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Module
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. The biggest hurdle in replacing an FPCM is the need for specialized programming. Without it, the module won’t communicate with your vehicle’s other computers. Our service eliminates that problem entirely. When you purchase this module, we will flash it with the latest GM-certified software specifically matched to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures seamless integration and proper function right out of the box. No expensive trip to the dealership, no need for a high-end scan tool. Just install the part, connect the electrical harness, and get your truck back on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed?
No. We handle the programming for you before we ship the part. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during or after checkout, and we will flash the module with the correct, updated software for your specific vehicle. It will arrive ready for installation.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 GMC Canyon?
On the 2009 GMC Canyon and its sibling, the Chevrolet Colorado, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically located on a frame crossmember near the rear of the vehicle, often close to the spare tire. On larger GM trucks and SUVs, it is commonly found on the driver’s side frame rail.
How do I provide my VIN?
You can add your VIN in the notes section during checkout or send it to us in a message after you complete your purchase. Please double-check the VIN for accuracy to ensure correct programming.
Is this part compatible with other GM part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and the listed 25967325. It covers a wide range of GM applications.
What happens if I install an FPCM without the correct programming?
An unprogrammed or incorrectly programmed FPCM will not communicate with your vehicle’s ECM. This will result in a no-start condition and will likely set communication-related trouble codes. Our VIN-programming service prevents this issue entirely.
