Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
As a mechanic with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless 2008-2009 GM vehicles come into the shop with frustrating fuel delivery issues. The owner is often convinced the fuel pump has failed. They experience symptoms like sudden stalling, a ‘Reduced Engine Power’ light, a long crank time, or a complete no-start. More often than not, the culprit isn’t the pump itself, but this small, overlooked part: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM).
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a permanent fix. We are offering a direct-fit 2008-2009 GM Fuel Pump Control Module that solves these common headaches. The best part? It arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. You can skip the expensive dealership visit for programming and get your vehicle back on the road fast.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
“Just last month, a 2008 Silverado 1500 was towed in. The customer had already spent hundreds on a new fuel pump, but the truck would still crank but not start. A quick scan showed code U0109 – Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. I went straight to the FPCM, mounted on the driver-side frame rail. It was caked in mud and the connectors were corroded. We installed one of these pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired up on the first try. It’s a 15-minute fix that can save you from replacing the wrong part.”
The Smarter Solution: A Plug-and-Play Module
Don’t waste time and money guessing. This FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain behind your fuel pump. It regulates voltage to ensure precise fuel pressure. When it fails due to heat, vibration, or corrosion from its typical mounting location on the frame, it starves your engine of fuel. Our module restores that critical function.
- ✔ Eliminate Dealer Programming: We flash the module with your vehicle’s VIN before shipping. It’s ready to install right out of the box.
- ✔ Fix Common Symptoms: A reliable solution for stalling, no-start conditions, hesitation, and P069E or U0109 trouble codes.
- ✔ Updated GM Software: Programmed with the newest calibrations from General Motors for improved performance and reliability over the original.
- ✔ Direct-Fit Replacement: Engineered to be a perfect match for the original, ensuring a hassle-free installation.
- ✔ Wide Compatibility: Replaces a range of part numbers including 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, and more.
Easy Installation: Get Back on the Road in Minutes
Even if you’re a DIYer, you can handle this job. While the exact location can vary slightly by model (most are on the driver-side frame rail), the process is straightforward.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most trucks and large SUVs (Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade), it’s on the frame rail under the driver’s door. On others (Colorado, Canyon, Traverse), it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts holding the module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Reconnect the electrical harnesses securely.
- Reconnect Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal. Your installation is complete!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I provide my VIN for programming?
A: After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we receive your VIN to perform the programming service.
Q: Is this the same as a Fuel Pump Driver Module?
A: Yes, the terms Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), and Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) are often used interchangeably for this component.
Q: What happens if I install it without programming?
A: An unprogrammed module will not communicate correctly with your vehicle’s other computers, like the ECM. This will result in a no-start condition and set communication trouble codes. Our pre-programming service eliminates this problem entirely.
Q: My mechanic says my fuel pump is bad. Could it be this module instead?
A: Absolutely. The symptoms of a failing FPCM and a failing fuel pump are nearly identical. We always recommend checking for FPCM-specific codes (like U0109 or P069E) before replacing the in-tank fuel pump, which is a much more labor-intensive job.
Q: Will this fit my 2007 Silverado?
A: Yes, this module fits the 2007 ‘new body style’ Silverado and Sierra pickups (with the smooth door skin), as well as the wide range of 2008-2009 GM vehicles listed below.
