Restore Your Truck’s Reliability with a VIN-Programmed Fuel Module
Is your truck stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is one of the most common, and often misdiagnosed, issues on these GM vehicles. As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless owners replace expensive fuel pumps only to find the problem was this critical electronic module. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a direct solution, delivered to your door ready to install. We take the guesswork and dealership hassle out of the equation by pre-programming this module with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN.
This ensures perfect communication between your vehicle’s computer and the fuel pump, restoring the precise fuel pressure control your engine needs for optimal performance and efficiency. Don’t let a faulty module leave you stranded. This is the reliable, straightforward fix you need for your 2009 Colorado Fuel Pump Module and many other GM models.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The $500 Misdiagnosis
A customer once brought in a 2008 Silverado that had intermittent stalling and a P069E code. He had already spent over $500 replacing the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. His frustration was understandable. After a quick check of the FPCM data stream, we saw erratic voltage commands. The module, exposed to years of road salt and moisture on the frame rail, had failed internally. We installed a new, programmed FPCM, and the truck ran perfectly. This story is incredibly common; confirming the FPCM is faulty first can save you hundreds of dollars and a full day of unnecessary labor.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a bad fuel pump module is a likely culprit. A failing module can starve the engine of fuel, leading to a variety of performance issues.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially when the vehicle warms up or is under load
- ✔ Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Noticeable loss of engine power
- ✔ Reduced fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, P025A, or U0109 (Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module)
DIY Installation: Get Back on the Road Fast
Replacing the 2009 Colorado Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIYers can handle in their own driveway. Since we program it beforehand, you won’t need any special scan tools.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Colorado, Canyon, Silverado, and Sierra, the FPCM is mounted to a frame rail or crossmember, typically on the driver’s side near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as they can become brittle over time. Then, unbolt the module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into the same location. Ensure it is mounted securely.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock into place.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and check for proper operation and ensure the Check Engine Light is off.

Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to flash the module with the exact software calibration and updates specified by GM for your truck’s specific configuration. This ensures seamless integration and proper fuel system operation without requiring a trip to the dealer for programming.
Is this a difficult part to install?
No, this is a very straightforward installation for most DIYers. It’s typically held on by a few bolts on the vehicle’s frame and has simple plug-in electrical connectors. Since it arrives pre-programmed, no computer work is needed on your end.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Colorado?
On the 2009 Chevrolet Colorado and its sibling, the GMC Canyon, the Fuel Pump Control Module is located on the rear center frame crossmember, near the spare tire.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, a faulty FPCM is the most common cause of a P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) trouble code. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for that code in most cases.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, fully tested replacement part that has been professionally programmed to ensure it meets or exceeds OEM specifications for performance and reliability.
