Is Your Hummer H3 Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re experiencing frustrating fuel delivery issues with your 2009 Hummer H3, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is a very common culprit. This small but critical component is the brain behind your fuel pump, regulating the voltage it receives to ensure precise fuel pressure for optimal engine performance. When it fails, it can leave you stranded with a vehicle that cranks but won’t start, or cause dangerous stalling and hesitation while driving.

From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2009 GMC Sierra (which uses the same FPCM system as the H3) come into the shop with a classic intermittent no-start condition. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump, assuming it was the problem, but the issue persisted. After a few diagnostic tests, we found that the FPCM, mounted on the frame rail, was overheating and cutting out. Corrosion on the connector from road salt and moisture had also taken its toll. We installed a new, pre-programmed FPCM, and the truck fired up instantly and has run perfectly ever since. It’s a textbook example of why diagnosing the entire fuel system, not just the pump, is critical.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔️ Engine cranks but refuses to start
- ✔️ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load or when warm
- ✔️ Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔️ Noticeable loss of engine power
- ✔️ Poor fuel economy
- ✔️ Check Engine Light illuminated with codes like P069E, P0230, or P025A
