Is Your Hummer H3 Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is a common culprit behind frustrating fuel delivery issues in your 2009 Hummer H3 and many other GM vehicles. When this critical component fails, it can leave you stranded by improperly regulating the voltage to your fuel pump, leading to incorrect fuel pressure. This can manifest as engine stumbling, poor acceleration, a no-start condition, or a persistent Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes like P069E. Don’t replace the entire fuel pump assembly until you’ve diagnosed the FPCM. This module is the direct-fit, reliable solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and dependability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Sierra 1500 come into the shop with a classic no-start condition after intermittent stalling for weeks. The customer had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. His scanner was showing a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On). Instead of throwing more parts at it, we hooked up our diagnostic tool and commanded the fuel pump on. We heard the pump prime, but pressure was erratic. A quick check of the FPCM, mounted on the frame rail, showed significant corrosion on the housing and connector. We installed a new, pre-programmed FPCM, and the truck fired right up with stable fuel pressure. He could have saved hundreds of dollars and a lot of frustration by starting with the module first, which is a much more common failure point than the pump itself.
Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pump Control Module
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, especially when warm or under load.
- ✔ Vehicle starts and then immediately dies.
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light illuminated with codes P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ A whining noise from the fuel pump area as it works erratically.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2009 Hummer H3 Fuel Pump Module

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this module?
No. This Fuel Pump Control Module arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. It is a true plug-and-play solution, saving you a trip to the dealership and expensive programming fees.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Hummer H3?
On the 2009 Hummer H3, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted on the rear frame crossmember. On other GM trucks and SUVs, it is commonly found on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire.
Will this fix the trouble code P069E?
Yes, a faulty FPCM is the most common cause of a P069E diagnostic trouble code. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the definitive fix for this issue in most cases.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically reply to your order confirmation email or follow the instructions provided at checkout. We cannot ship the part until we receive your VIN to complete the programming.
Is this different from the fuel pump?
Yes. The fuel pump is the mechanical pump located inside your fuel tank. This Fuel Pump Control Module is the electronic computer that tells the fuel pump how fast to run to maintain correct fuel pressure. The module is a separate component mounted on the vehicle’s frame.
