Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re experiencing frustrating issues like your engine cranking but never firing up, sudden stalling while driving, or a loss of power under acceleration, the culprit is often a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the frame rail of most of these vehicles, the original module is constantly exposed to road salt, water, and grime, leading to internal corrosion and eventual failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that can leave you stranded.
Real-World Diagnosis: “A customer’s 2008 Tahoe came in on the hook last week with these exact symptoms. They had already spent hundreds replacing the in-tank fuel pump, assuming it was the problemโa very common misdiagnosis. After a quick scan, I found code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF). We inspected the FPCM on the driver’s side frame rail, and the connector pins were green with corrosion. Replacing the module with a pre-programmed unit like this one had them back on the road in under 30 minutes. Don’t just replace parts; diagnose the real issue first.”
The Direct Solution: A VIN-Programmed GM Fuel Pump Control Module
Forget expensive dealership visits and the hassle of programming. This FPCM is the definitive solution for your 2008-2009 GM vehicle. We take care of the complex part for you. Before we ship, we use your vehicle’s VIN to flash the module with the latest, most stable software directly from GM. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s computer systems and restores factory performance and reliability. It arrives at your door ready for a simple, plug-and-play installation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially at low speeds or idle
- โ Noticeable hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- โ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- โ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, U0109, or P0230
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
You can perform this repair right in your driveway with basic hand tools. The location can vary slightly by model, but it’s typically found on the vehicle’s frame.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon), it’s on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On vehicles like the Traverse or Acadia, it may be on a rear crossmember. Check your specific model’s layout.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Use a small pick to release the locking tab if it’s stuck. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- Inspect Connector: Before installing the new module, thoroughly inspect the vehicle-side harness connector for any signs of corrosion (green or white powder). Clean it with an electrical contact cleaner and a small brush if necessary. A poor connection is a primary cause of repeat failures.
- Install New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module in place and securely plug in the connector until it clicks.
- Reconnect Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start.
