Is Your Truck Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start? The Fix is Here.
If you’re experiencing frustrating issues like your engine cranking but not starting, sudden stalling in traffic, or a noticeable hesitation when you press the gas pedal, the problem often points directly to a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This small but critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs, leading to poor performance and leaving you stranded. Don’t replace the entire fuel pump assembly until you’ve checked this common failure point.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
Just last month, a 2009 HUMMER H2 was towed in with a classic “crank, no start” condition. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. He was convinced he had a major wiring issue. After a quick diagnostic scan, I saw code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. Instead of hours chasing wires, we checked the FPCM, which is mounted on the frame rail. It showed clear signs of corrosion from road salt and moistureโa textbook failure. We installed a pre-programmed module, and the H2 fired right up. It’s a 15-minute fix that often gets overlooked, saving the customer hundreds in unnecessary parts and labor.
The Simple, No-Dealer-Required Solution
This is a direct-replacement FPCM that solves these issues for good. The best part? We handle the complicated part for you. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will program the module with the latest, most stable software from GM before it ships. It arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation, saving you a costly trip to the dealership and their programming fees.

Plug-and-Play Installation: Get Back on the Road Fast
Replacing the FPCM is a straightforward job for any DIYer or professional mechanic. While the exact location varies by model, it’s typically mounted on the vehicle’s frame.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Old Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs like the HUMMER H2/H3, Silverado, and Tahoe, you’ll find it on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other models like the Traverse or Canyon, it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be sure to clean any dirt or debris from the connectors first. Then, unbolt the module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into place and securely reconnect the electrical harnesses.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and confirm the issue is resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2009 HUMMER Fuel Pump Module
Q: Do I really need to provide my VIN?
A: Yes, absolutely. Providing your VIN is essential for us to program the module with the correct software for your vehicle’s specific configuration. This step ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box.
Q: How do I know if my FPCM is bad and not the fuel pump?
A: Common FPCM failure symptoms include stalling when the engine is warm, a “crank but no start” condition, and a P069E trouble code. Often, the vehicle may start and run for a few seconds before stalling, which is a classic sign of the module overheating or failing.
Q: Is this a difficult part to install myself?
A: For most individuals with basic mechanical skills, this is a very manageable job. It typically involves removing a few bolts and unplugging two connectors. Since our module is pre-programmed, there are no complicated electronic steps required after installation.
Q: What happens if I install this without programming?
A: An unprogrammed FPCM will not work correctly. The vehicle’s main computer (ECM) will not be able to communicate with it, and your vehicle will likely not start or run properly. Our pre-programming service eliminates this entire problem.
Q: Will this fix my poor gas mileage?
A: If a faulty FPCM is causing improper fuel delivery, then yes, replacing it with a properly functioning unit can help restore your vehicle’s original fuel economy. It ensures the fuel pump operates at the precise level the engine requires.
