Restore Your Truck’s Reliability and Power
Is your truck cranking but refusing to start? Experiencing sudden stalls, hesitation, or the dreaded “Reduced Engine Power” message on your dash? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the frame, this critical component is constantly exposed to harsh road conditions—water, salt, and vibrations—which often leads to internal corrosion and failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue that can leave you stranded. This FPCM is your direct, hassle-free solution, arriving pre-programmed with the latest GM software specifically for your vehicle’s VIN.
What is an FPCM and Why Does it Matter?
The Fuel Pump Control Module, sometimes called a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), acts as the brain for your fuel pump. It receives commands from the Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump. This ensures your engine gets the exact amount of fuel it needs under all conditions, from idling at a stoplight to towing a heavy load. When the FPCM fails, this communication breaks down, leading to erratic fuel pressure and the frustrating symptoms you’re likely facing. Our 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Module restores this vital link, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and reliably.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The P069E Puzzle
I remember a 2008 Sierra 1500 that came into my shop on a tow truck. The customer was frustrated—it would crank all day but never fire up. He had already replaced the fuel pump himself, assuming that was the issue. When I hooked up my scan tool, I found a stored DTC: P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Fuel Pressure Low. Instead of just throwing parts at it, I went straight to the FPCM, located on the driver-side frame rail. A quick tap test on the module while monitoring fuel pressure showed the pressure jumping erratically. After unbolting it, the problem was obvious: the back of the aluminum housing was swollen and corroded from years of exposure to road salt. We installed a new, pre-programmed module, and the truck fired up on the first try. This is a story I’ve seen play out hundreds of times on these GM trucks; the FPCM is often the true culprit.
Is Your GM Truck or SUV Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls
- ✔ “Reduced Engine Power” warning light is illuminated
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Inconsistent or no fuel pressure reading
A Straightforward Guide to FPCM Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Tahoe, or Canyon, the FPCM is mounted to the frame. Check the driver-side frame rail near the spare tire or on a rear crossmember.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle, as the plastic clips can become brittle over time. Then, remove the bolts securing the old module to the frame.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location using the original hardware.
- ✔ Reconnect: Firmly plug the electrical connectors into the new module. You should hear a click as they lock into place.
- ✔ Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no additional programming required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
We require your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to load the correct, vehicle-specific software from GM onto the module. This ensures perfect compatibility and function, eliminating the need for a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, this is a straightforward repair for a DIYer with basic tools. Since the module comes pre-programmed, it’s a simple bolt-off, bolt-on process. You just need to locate it on your vehicle’s frame, swap the part, and reconnect the battery.
Where do I provide my VIN?
After completing your purchase, please send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information to program the module.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
Yes, a faulty FPCM is the most common cause of a P069E code on these GM vehicles. Replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the definitive fix in the vast majority of cases, provided the fuel pump and wiring are in good condition.
Is this a new part?
Yes, this is a high-quality replacement part that has been tested and programmed with the latest software for your vehicle. It is a reliable, cost-effective alternative to an expensive dealer part.
