Restore Your Camaro’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2010 Chevrolet Camaro suffering from frustrating and unpredictable drivability issues? Symptoms like long crank times, sudden stalling, hesitation under acceleration, or a persistent Check Engine Light can often be traced back to a single, critical component: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how a failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump, leading to incorrect diagnoses and wasted money. This module is the brain behind your fuel delivery system, and when it falters, your engine’s performance suffers.

From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall Case
I remember a 2010 Camaro that came into the shop with a classic complaint: it would randomly stall at red lights and sometimes hesitate badly when pulling away from a stop. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, assuming it was the culprit, but the problem persisted. When I hooked up my scanner, I saw no hard codes, just a history of low fuel pressure warnings (P0087) that were intermittent. Instead of just looking at the pump, I monitored the FPCM command signal. I noticed the module would erratically drop the voltage to the pump, causing the pressure to plummet and the engine to stall. A new, correctly programmed 2010 Camaro Fuel Pump Control Module solved the problem instantly. It’s a powerful reminder that diagnosing the entire system, not just the most obvious part, is key to an effective repair.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module could be the cause. Look out for these common indicators and associated Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs):
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially when warm or under load
- ✔ Severe hesitation or loss of power during acceleration
- ✔ Rough or unstable idle
- ✔ Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated
- ✔ Common DTCs: P069E, P0230, P025A, U0109 (Lost Communication with FPCM)
