Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Sputtering, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine problems like stalling at a stoplight, hesitation when you accelerate, or a vehicle that cranks but won’t run, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is the most likely culprit. In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen this exact issue hundreds of time on otherwise reliable trucks like the Silverado, Sierra, and Tahoe. The original FPCM, often mounted on the frame rail, is exposed to harsh conditions, leading to internal failure and leaving you stranded. Don’t just replace the fuel pumpโdiagnose the real source of the problem.

This means it arrives at your door with the latest GM software updates, ready for a true plug-and-play installation. You get to skip the expensive tow to the dealership and avoid their hefty programming fees. This is the fix that both DIYers and professional shops trust for a fast, reliable repair.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
A customer brought in his 2008 Sierra 1500 with an intermittent no-start condition. He had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. After scanning, we found code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Off). Instead of just swapping the module, I first checked its mounting location on the left frame rail. The ground wire bolt was severely corroded from road salt and moisture. This poor ground was causing the module to overheat and shut down. We cleaned the frame contact point to bare metal, installed this new VIN-programmed FPCM, and the truck has run flawlessly ever since. Always check your groundsโit’s a 5-minute check that can save you a world of headaches.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How do I know if my Fuel Pump Control Module is failing?
- A: Common symptoms include the engine cranking but not starting, stalling while driving, a check engine light with codes like P069E or U0109, and a noticeable hesitation or loss of power during acceleration.
- Q: What does ‘VIN Programmed’ mean for me?
- A: It means the module is pre-loaded with your vehicle’s specific software from GM. This makes the installation truly plug-and-play, saving you a trip to the dealer and avoiding hundreds in programming fees.
- Q: Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Chevy Tahoe?
- A: On most GM trucks and large SUVs like the Tahoe, Yukon, and Silverado, the FPCM is mounted to the inside of the frame rail on the driver’s side, typically above the spare tire area.
- Q: Is this part difficult to install for a DIYer?
- A: Not at all. If you can safely access the frame rail and use basic hand tools to unbolt the old module and plug in the new one, you can do this job. Since it comes pre-programmed, the hardest part is just locating it.
