Restore Your GM Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your truck or SUV experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, sputtering, hesitation during acceleration, or a complete no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component is responsible for regulating the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded. In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen hundreds of these modules fail, often due to their exposed location on the vehicle’s frame, where they’re subjected to harsh weather and vibrations.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the hassle and expense out of the repair by pre-programming this module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means it arrives at your door with the latest GM factory software updates, often correcting the very logic flaws that caused the original module to fail. You get a reliable fix that restores factory performance without a costly trip to the dealership for programming. This is the smart, efficient way to get your vehicle back on the road.
Case Study: The Silverado That Wouldn’t Start
A customer brought in his ’08 Silverado 1500 with a complaint that was becoming all too common: it would crank but not start, and when it did run, it would stall unexpectedly at red lights. He’d already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the obvious culprit, but the problem persisted. His scanner showed a U0109 (Lost Communication with FPCM) code. We put it on the lift and found the original FPCM on the frame rail, corroded and damaged. Instead of just selling him a blank module and sending him to the dealer, we provided a VIN-programmed unit just like this one. The installation took less than 30 minutes, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. He saved hundreds on dealer programming fees and was back to work the same day.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, this module is the likely solution.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially when coming to a stop or at idle
- ✔ Severe hesitation or loss of power during acceleration
- ✔ A Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Control Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Since this part comes pre-programmed, no special electronic tools are needed.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: On most compatible vehicles, the FPCM is mounted to the frame rail or a rear crossmember. On the Canyon/Colorado, it’s typically on the rear center frame. Check your specific model’s service information if you’re unsure. It’s a small black box with an electrical connector and a few mounting bolts.
- Remove the Old Module: Unplug the electrical connector. Be gentle with the locking tab, as old plastic can be brittle. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware. Reconnect the electrical harness, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10-15 seconds without starting the engine to allow the system to prime. Start the vehicle and check for proper operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN is required to load the correct, vehicle-specific software from GM onto the module. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s other computers and guarantees a true plug-and-play installation without needing a trip to the dealer.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, this is a straightforward repair for anyone with basic mechanical skills. Since it comes pre-programmed, the process involves simply locating the old module, unbolting it, and plugging in the new one.
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM acts as a smart controller for your electric fuel pump. Instead of running the pump at full speed all the time, it precisely varies the voltage to the pump based on engine demand. This improves efficiency and extends the life of the fuel pump.
Will this fix a check engine light for code P069E or U0109?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FPCM is the direct cause of codes like P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) and U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module). Replacing it with this programmed unit is the correct repair.
My original part number is different from 25967325. Will this work?
Yes, this module replaces several older part numbers. As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list and your old part number is one of the compatible numbers listed (e.g., 20759945, 25854536, etc.), this is the correct, updated part for your vehicle.
