Restore Your Truck’s Power and Reliability
Is your GMC Canyon, Silverado, or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation under acceleration, or a crank-no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This vital component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it starves your engine of fuel, leaving you with an unreliable vehicle and often a check engine light with codes like P069E or U0109.
Don’t let a faulty module keep you off the road. This is a direct-replacement FPCM that arrives at your door completely programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We handle the complex part—flashing it with the latest GM software—so you don’t have to. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you both time and money. Restore proper fuel pressure and engine performance with a solution designed for a perfect fit and function.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall Case
I remember a 2008 Silverado 1500 that came into my shop with a problem that was driving the owner crazy. It would run fine for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight or hesitate badly when merging. There were no consistent codes, just an occasional U0109 (Lost Communication with FPCM). Instead of just throwing parts at it, I hooked up my scan tool and monitored the fuel pressure command PID from the ECM and the actual fuel pressure reported by the system. I saw the commanded pressure was steady, but the actual pressure would erratically drop out. This told me the ECM was doing its job, but the FPCM wasn’t executing the command. We found the original module on the frame rail, caked in dirt and showing signs of corrosion. A new, pre-programmed FPCM like this one had the truck running perfectly in under an hour.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially while idling or at low speeds.
- ✔ Noticeable loss of engine power and poor acceleration.
- ✔ Engine hesitation or sputtering during driving.
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, P025A, or U0109.
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel gauge readings or a fuel pump that seems to run constantly.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On the 2009 Canyon/Colorado, the FPCM is typically found on a crossmember of the frame near the spare tire. For most full-size trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Tahoe, etc.), it’s mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, often above the spare.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Use a small screwdriver to release the locking tabs if necessary. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module securely in the same location. Ensure it is mounted firmly to the frame.
- ✔ Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors into the new FPCM. You should hear a distinct click as they lock into place.
- ✔ Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10-15 seconds to allow the system to prime before starting the engine. Your vehicle is ready to go!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is required so we can program the module with the exact, most current GM software for your vehicle’s specific configuration. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes! Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, it is a true plug-and-play solution. No additional programming or dealer visits are required for installation.
What does the Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM regulates the voltage and speed of your fuel pump. Instead of running the pump at full speed all the time, the FPCM adjusts it based on engine demand, which improves efficiency and extends the life of the fuel pump.
Where is this module located on my 2009 GMC Canyon?
On the 2009 GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado, the FPCM is typically mounted to a frame crossmember, located towards the rear of the truck, often near the spare tire.
Will this fix a P069E code?
A P069E code indicates a fault in the FPCM performance. While you should always perform a full diagnosis, a failing FPCM is the most common cause of this code, and replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the definitive repair.
