Is Your Truck Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating fuel delivery problems in your 2009 GMC Canyon or a similar GM truck, the culprit is often a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This small but critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can leave you stranded with a no-start condition or cause dangerous stalling in traffic. I’ve seen this exact issue hundreds of times in my 20+ years as a technician.
The Real-World Problem: Corrosion and Heat are the Enemy
A customer’s 2009 Colorado (which shares the same platform as the Canyon) came into my shop last month on a tow truck. It would crank but never start. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the obvious fix, but the problem persisted. A quick scan showed a P069E code: Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. We located the FPCM on the rear center frame crossmember, and the cause was immediately clear. Years of exposure to road salt, water, and vibration had corroded the housing and electrical connector, shorting out the internal circuit board. This is an incredibly common failure point for these frame-mounted modules.

Easy Installation Guide for Your 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Module
You can do this job in your driveway with basic hand tools. For the 2009 Canyon and Colorado, the module is typically located on a frame crossmember near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the FPCM mounted to the rear frame crossmember. It’s a small, finned aluminum box with an electrical connector.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical harness. Use a small screwdriver to release the locking tab if necessary. Then, unbolt the module from the frame.
- Clean the Area: Before installing the new module, it’s crucial to clean the mounting surface and the electrical connector pins to ensure a solid ground and a clean connection.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Securely plug in the electrical connector until it clicks.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Your truck is now ready to start with restored fuel system performance.
