Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Sputtering, or Refusing to Start?
You turn the key, and instead of a confident roar, you get a weak crank, a sputter, or nothing at all. Maybe it starts but then dies unexpectedly at a stoplight, or hesitates badly when you need to accelerate. These are more than just annoyances; they’re signs that a critical component is failing. In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen these exact symptoms countless times, and a common culprit on these GM vehicles is a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM).
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine GM Fuel Pump Module and pre-program it with the latest factory software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This eliminates the most expensive and time-consuming step of the repair: a trip to the dealership for programming.
The Direct-Fit Solution for Common Fuel System Problems
A failing FPCM can cause a range of frustrating issues that are often misdiagnosed. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely fix you need:
- โ Engine cranks but won’t start
- โ Vehicle stalls intermittently, especially when warm or at idle
- โ Severe hesitation or loss of power during acceleration
- โ Reduced fuel economy
- โ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109 (loss of communication with FPCM)
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
“A customer’s 2008 Silverado 1500 came in on a tow truck last month. It would crank but never fire up. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. My scan tool showed code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. A quick check confirmed the module, mounted on the frame rail, was corroded and had failed internally. We installed one of these pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired up on the first try. The customer saved hundreds by avoiding a dealer tow and programming fee. This is the right way to fix this common issue.”
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
We handle the complex programming so you don’t have to. Once you receive your part, installation is straightforward for a DIYer with basic tools or a quick job for any professional mechanic. Get your vehicle back on the road in under an hour.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs (like the Silverado, Tahoe, Yukon), the FPCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other models (like the Traverse or Colorado), it may be on a rear crossmember. A quick search for your specific model will confirm its location.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector and unbolt the old module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module in place and securely reconnect the electrical harness.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no additional programming needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How do I know if my Fuel Pump Control Module is bad?
- A: Common signs include the engine cranking but not starting, stalling, hesitation, and specific Check Engine Light codes like P069E or U0109. These symptoms indicate the fuel pump isn’t receiving the correct voltage command from the module.
- Q: Do I really need to provide my VIN?
- A: Yes, absolutely. The VIN is essential for us to load the correct GM software and calibrations for your specific vehicle’s engine, transmission, and options. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box.
- Q: Is this part difficult to install myself?
- A: For most people with basic mechanical skills, this is a very manageable job. It typically involves removing a few bolts and one electrical connector, with no special tools required. The biggest challenge is often just accessing the module on the vehicle’s frame.
- Q: What is the benefit of this module being pre-programmed?
- A: The primary benefit is saving you time and money. A new, unprogrammed module from a dealer would require your vehicle to be towed or driven there, followed by a separate, costly programming service fee. Our module is ready for installation immediately upon arrival.
- Q: Will this fit my 2007 Silverado?
- A: This module fits the 2007 “new style” Silverado and Sierra pickups, which are identifiable by a smooth door skin (without a crease). It does not fit the 2007 “classic” body style.
