Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Are you dealing with frustrating engine stalls, hesitation during acceleration, or a car that simply won’t start? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen countless drivers replace their fuel pump, only to find the real problem was this critical electronic component. This module is the brain behind your fuel delivery system, and when it falters, it can leave you stranded. Our genuine GM FPCM, part number 20875846, is the definitive solution, arriving at your door pre-programmed with the latest factory software specifically for your vehicle’s VIN.
The Plug-and-Play Advantage: No Dealer Visit Required
Traditionally, replacing an FPCM meant buying the part and then paying for a tow to the dealership for expensive programming. We eliminate that costly and time-consuming step. Simply provide your VIN at checkout, and our certified technicians will flash the module with the most current GM updates. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s computer systems and optimal fuel delivery from the moment you install it. This isn’t just a part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution designed to get you back on the road with confidence.
From the Diagnostic Bay: A Common Misdiagnosis
I recall a 2010 Equinox that came into my shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump twice, convinced it was the problem. The car would start, run for a few minutes, then sputter and die. After his second failed attempt, he brought it to us. A quick scan revealed DTC U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module). We weren’t getting consistent voltage at the pump. The issue wasn’t the pump itself, but the FPCM that controls it. By installing a pre-programmed module, we had the vehicle running perfectly in under an hour, saving the customer from buying a third unnecessary fuel pump.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Signs?
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start.
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially when warm or under load.
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or sputtering when you press the gas pedal.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ An illuminated Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most compatible models like the Equinox and Terrain, the FPCM is located in the left-hand rear compartment area in the trunk/cargo space. For the Camaro, it’s typically found in the trunk near the battery.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed 2010 SRX Fuel Pump Module into place. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely.
- ✔ Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN is essential for us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations specified by GM for your specific make, model, and options. This ensures seamless integration and proper function without a trip to the dealer.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a very manageable job. The module is typically in an accessible location in the trunk area, and since it comes pre-programmed, the installation is a simple bolt-off, bolt-on process.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed module will not communicate correctly with your vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM). This will result in a no-start condition and will set communication fault codes, requiring a tow to a facility with GM programming capabilities.
How do I know if the module is bad and not the fuel pump?
While symptoms can overlap, a key diagnostic step is to check for voltage at the fuel pump connector while cranking the engine. If there’s no voltage or it’s erratic, the FPCM is the likely culprit. Diagnostic trouble codes like U0109 specifically point to the control module.
Are the latest GM software updates included?
Yes. We flash every module with the absolute latest software available from General Motors. This often corrects underlying drivability issues and improves the longevity of the component.
