If your 2009 GMC Canyon or other GM truck is suffering from frustrating no-start conditions, stalling, or a ‘Reduced Engine Power’ message, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen this exact issue countless times. These modules, often mounted on the frame rail, are exposed to harsh road conditions, leading to corrosion and internal failure. This interrupts the signal to your fuel pump, starving the engine of the fuel it needs to run reliably.
Don’t let a faulty module leave you stranded. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the guesswork and dealership hassle out of the equation by pre-programming this 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures it communicates perfectly with your truck’s computer systems right out of the box, restoring proper fuel pressure and engine performance. No expensive trips to the dealer for programming are required.
Case Study: The Intermittent Stall
A customer brought in a 2009 Chevy Colorado—the Canyon’s sibling—with a problem that was driving him crazy. It would start and run fine for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight and refuse to restart for an hour. There were no consistent trouble codes, just a history U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module). A visual inspection under the truck revealed the FPCM mounted on the frame crossmember. The casing looked fine, but years of exposure to salt and moisture had corroded the connector pins just enough to cause an intermittent connection. Replacing it with a pre-programmed module like this one solved the problem permanently. It’s a classic failure mode for these vehicles.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving, especially under load
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Check Engine Light (CEL) is illuminated
- ✔ ‘Reduced Engine Power’ warning message on the dash
- ✔ Common Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): P069E, U0109, P0230
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On the 2009 Canyon/Colorado, the FPCM is typically mounted on a rear frame crossmember. On most full-size trucks and SUVs, it’s on the left-hand (driver’s side) frame rail, often near the spare tire.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Be gentle, as the plastic can be brittle. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the connector pins to protect against future corrosion, then plug it in securely.
- ✔ Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds before starting the engine to allow the system to initialize. Your vehicle is now ready to drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to load the exact, factory-correct software for your truck’s specific configuration. This makes the module a true plug-and-play part and prevents compatibility issues.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a straightforward repair. Since we handle the programming, the physical replacement is typically simple, involving only a few bolts and one electrical connector.
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), acts as a smart relay. It receives commands from the main engine computer (ECM) and precisely controls the voltage sent to the fuel pump, regulating fuel pressure and flow for optimal efficiency and performance.
Can I just install one from a junkyard?
You could, but it’s not recommended. A used module will be programmed to a different vehicle’s VIN, which can cause communication errors, check engine lights, or no-start conditions. Our pre-programmed module guarantees compatibility.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, the DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common codes indicating a fault within the FPCM itself. Replacing the module is the standard, effective repair for this code.
