Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine performance issues like sudden stalls, rough idling, a no-start condition, or diagnostic trouble codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109, the culprit is often a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs, leading to unreliable performance that can leave you stranded.
Don’t let a faulty module dictate your vehicle’s reliability. This is your direct-fit, plug-and-play solution for a wide range of 2008-2009 GM vehicles. We take the guesswork and high cost out of the repair by programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. This means it arrives at your door ready for installation, with the latest GM software updates, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.

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 not start. He had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, assuming that was the issue, but the problem remained. After a quick scan, we found code U0109. We checked the FPCM, located on the driver-side frame rail, and found heavy corrosion on the housing and connectorsโa very common failure point. Instead of a costly fuel pump job, the real fix was this simple module. Always check your FPCM before condemning the fuel pump; it can save you hundreds of dollars and hours of labor.”
Simple Installation Guide for the 2008-2009 GM Fuel Pump Module
You can get your truck or SUV running right in your own driveway. For most trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Sierra, and Tahoe, the module is located on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most compatible trucks and large SUVs, it’s mounted to the frame crossmember on the driver’s side. On vehicles like the Traverse or Acadia, it may be on a rear crossmember, while on the Colorado/Canyon it’s often on the rear center frame.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Use a small flathead screwdriver to release the locking tabs if necessary. Then, unbolt the module from the frame.
- Clean the Area: Before installing the new module, clean the mounting surface and electrical connectors with a contact cleaner to ensure a solid connection and ground.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place and securely reconnect the electrical harnesses.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and confirm that it runs smoothly and the check engine light is off.
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 will program the module with the latest GM software specific to your vehicle before shipping.
- Q: Will this fit my 2007 Silverado?
- A: This module fits the 2007 ‘new body style’ (NBS) Silverado and Sierra, which have the smooth door skin. It does not fit the ‘classic’ body style from that year.
- Q: What happens if I install it without programming?
- A: An unprogrammed module will not communicate correctly with your vehicle’s other computers, leading to a no-start condition. Our service ensures it’s ready to install right out of the box.
- Q: Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
- A: For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a straightforward repair. The module is typically in an accessible location on the vehicle’s frame, requiring only the removal of a few bolts and electrical plugs.
- Q: Can a bad FPCM damage my fuel pump?
- A: While not common, a faulty FPCM can cause the fuel pump to run constantly or erratically, which could shorten its lifespan. Replacing a failing FPCM promptly is good preventative maintenance.
