Restore Your Truck’s Fuel Delivery and Performance
Is your 2009 GMC Canyon or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation, a no-start condition, or an illuminated Check Engine Light? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the frame rail, these modules are exposed to harsh conditions—road salt, water, and vibration—that lead to internal failure. This module is the electronic brain that precisely controls the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring optimal fuel pressure under all driving conditions. When it fails, your engine is starved of fuel, leading to poor performance and leaving you stranded.
We offer a direct-replacement, plug-and-play solution. This FPCM, part number 13501024, arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. Simply provide your VIN at checkout, and we handle the rest, ensuring a seamless installation and immediate restoration of your vehicle’s reliability.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in their ’08 Silverado with classic “bad fuel pump” symptoms: it would crank but not start, and sometimes it would die while driving. They had already replaced the pump, but the problem persisted. My first step was to check for codes, and I found a P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Off). Instead of just throwing another part at it, I checked the FPCM connector for corrosion—it was clean. The key diagnostic step was monitoring the FPCM command signal versus the actual fuel pressure. The command was present, but the pressure was erratic. This confirmed the FPCM itself was failing intermittently, a common issue I’ve seen on hundreds of these GM trucks. A new, pre-programmed module fixed it instantly.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems. Here are the most common indicators that point specifically to this module:
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start
- âś” Stalling or hesitation, especially under acceleration
- âś” Rough or unstable idle
- âś” Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- âś” Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Your 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Control Module Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIY mechanics can handle in their own driveway. With our pre-programmed module, you’ll avoid the complexity of dealership tools. For a 2009 GMC Canyon, you’ll typically find the module mounted on a rear frame crossmember.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On many GM trucks and SUVs, it’s on the driver’s side frame rail, but on the Canyon/Colorado, it’s often on the rear center frame. It’s a small silver box with an electrical connector.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector, making sure to release the locking tab. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to the frame. Corrosion can make these stubborn, so a little penetrating oil might help.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location. It’s often a good idea to apply a bit of dielectric grease to the connector pins to protect against future moisture intrusion.
- Reconnect: Securely plug in the electrical connector until it clicks. Reconnect your battery’s negative terminal.
- Final Check: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the system to prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.

What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
Providing your VIN is essential. We cannot ship the module until we program it with your vehicle’s specific software. This step ensures the FPCM communicates correctly with your vehicle’s other computers, preventing performance issues and warning lights.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For most individuals with basic hand tools, this is a very manageable DIY repair. Since our module comes pre-programmed, the installation is a simple bolt-off, bolt-on process. The most common challenge is accessing the module on the frame, but no special software or tools are needed.
How do I know if my fuel pump or the FPCM is bad?
It can be tricky. A key indicator is the presence of FPCM-specific trouble codes like P069E or U0109. A mechanic can also test the voltage going from the FPCM to the pump. If the module is receiving power but not sending the correct voltage out, the FPCM is the likely failure point.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a P069E trouble code is caused by a failing Fuel Pump Control Module. This part is the direct solution for that code, assuming the wiring and connectors are in good condition.
Does this part come with a warranty?
Yes, all of our electronic modules come with a warranty that protects you against defects. Please see our warranty page for full details and terms to ensure your peace of mind.
