Restore Your GM Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your truck or SUV experiencing frustrating and unpredictable issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a complete no-start condition? Before you consider replacing the entire fuel pump, the problem often lies with a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This vital component, also known as a Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM), regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can starve your engine of fuel, leading to poor performance and leaving you stranded. This listing is for a direct-fit, professionally programmed FPCM that solves these common issues for good.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
“A customer’s 2008 Silverado 1500 came in on a tow truck last month. It would crank but not start. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. A quick scan revealed a P069E codeโ’Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF.’ Instead of chasing wiring ghosts, we checked the FPCM located on the frame rail. It was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. We installed one of our VIN-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the controller first saved hundreds of dollars and hours of frustration.”
The Plug-and-Play Solution: No Dealer Visit Required
The biggest headache with replacing modern electronic modules is the need for expensive, dealer-specific programming. We eliminate that step entirely. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash this module with the latest, most stable GM software specific to your vehicle. It arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you time, money, and a trip to the dealership.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load
- โ Stuttering or hesitation during acceleration
- โ “Reduced Engine Power” message on the dashboard
- โ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or P0627
- โ A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump area
Easy Installation for the DIY Mechanic
Replacing the 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Module is a straightforward job that most DIYers can handle with basic tools. While locations vary slightly by model, the process is generally simple.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On the 2009 Canyon/Colorado, it’s typically mounted to the rear center frame crossmember. On most full-size trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe), it’s on the driver-side frame rail, often near the spare tire.
- 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 in place. Be sure to clean the connectors with electrical contact cleaner for a solid connection before plugging them in.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10 seconds (without starting) to allow the system to prime, then start the engine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How do I know if my FPCM is bad and not the fuel pump?
- A: A common test is to check for power at the fuel pump connector while a helper cranks the engine. If there’s no or intermittent voltage, the FPCM is a likely culprit, especially if you have diagnostic codes like P069E.
- Q: What happens if I install this without providing my VIN?
- A: The module will not function correctly. The VIN-specific programming is essential for the module to communicate with your vehicle’s other computers and control the fuel pump properly.
- Q: Is this a difficult part to install myself?
- A: For most people with basic mechanical skills, this is an easy repair. The module is typically mounted on the vehicle’s frame and held on by just a few bolts, making it accessible without major disassembly.
- Q: Will this fix my check engine light for code P069E?
- A: Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a P069E code is caused by a faulty FPCM. Replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the standard and effective repair for that specific code.
- Q: Why is this better than a used module from a junkyard?
- A: A used module will be programmed to a different vehicle and will not work in yours. Furthermore, this new module is flashed with the latest GM software, which often corrects the original factory flaws that caused the part to fail in the first place.
