Is Your 2009 Canyon Stalling, Cranking with No Start, or Showing a P069E Code?
If you’re dealing with frustrating fuel delivery problems in your GMC Canyon or other GM truck, you’ve likely come face-to-face with a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). In my 20+ years as a diagnostician, I’ve seen hundreds of these modules fail, especially on trucks where they are mounted to the frame. Their location exposes them to a constant barrage of water, road salt, and grime, leading to internal corrosion and eventual failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; a dead FPCM can leave you stranded without warning.
Symptoms of a failing FPCM are often misdiagnosed as a bad fuel pump. Before you spend hundreds on a pump replacement, check for these classic signs of a faulty module:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Sudden stalling while driving, sometimes with a “Reduced Engine Power” message
- ✔ Intermittent starting issues that seem to have no pattern
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P069E stored in the computer
- ✔ A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump area that is inconsistent
The Dealership-Free Solution: A Pre-Programmed 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Module
The typical repair process involves buying a blank module, having your truck towed to a dealership, and paying them a hefty fee for programming. We eliminate that entire hassle. This module arrives at your door completely programmed with the latest official GM software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. It’s a true plug-and-play solution that gets you back on the road fast, saving you time and money.
Expert Pro Tip from a 20-Year Tech: Before installing your new FPCM, take a moment to inspect the vehicle’s electrical connector. Over the years, I’ve seen countless cases where corrosion from the old module has crept into the harness plug. Use a quality electrical contact cleaner and a small nylon brush to thoroughly clean the pins and the inside of the connector. A clean, solid connection is critical for the new module to function correctly and will prevent a frustrating repeat failure down the road.
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
You can install this module yourself with basic hand tools. For the 2009 GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado, the module is typically located on a crossmember at the rear of the frame.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM on the rear frame crossmember. It’s a small silver box with an electrical connector.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical harness. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Ensure it is securely mounted.
- Connect and Finalize: Plug the cleaned electrical connector firmly into the new module until it clicks. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Cycle the Key: Turn the ignition key to the ‘ON’ position (without starting) for 10 seconds to allow the system to prime. Your vehicle is now ready to start.
