Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2013-2014 Chevrolet Cruze experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, long crank times, or a sudden no-start condition? Before you suspect the fuel pump itself, the problem often lies with its electronic brain: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers chase expensive fuel pump replacements when this simple module was the real culprit. This FPCM, part number 22874300, is the definitive solution to restore proper fuel delivery and get your vehicle running smoothly again.
The biggest hurdle with replacing modern electronics is the need for dealership-level programming. We eliminate that completely. When you purchase from us, we flash the module with the latest official GM software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This isn’t a generic file; it’s the precise calibration your car needs. This means when the part arrives, it’s a true plug-and-play installation. You save hundreds of dollars and avoid the time-consuming hassle of a trip to the dealer. This is the same quality and precision you’d get from a professional shop, delivered right to your door.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2014 Cruze that came into the bay with a classic intermittent stalling complaint. The owner was convinced he needed a new fuel pump. We checked fuel pressure at the rail, and it seemed okay—at first. The key was checking voltage at the fuel pump connector while monitoring the FPCM data stream. We saw the voltage command from the module was erratic, dropping out randomly. This is a tell-tale sign of a failing FPCM, not the pump. We swapped in a pre-programmed 2013-2014 Cruze Fuel Pump Module, and the voltage stabilized instantly. The car ran perfectly. It’s a 20-minute fix that saved the customer over $500.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start.
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially while driving or at idle.
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or sputtering during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with codes like P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination), P0230 (Fuel Pump Primary Circuit Malfunction), or U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module).
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2013-2014 Cruze Fuel Pump Module is a simple process that most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Since it comes pre-programmed, no special electronic equipment is needed.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: On the Cruze, Sonic, and similar models, the FPCM is typically located inside the trunk, behind the trim panel on the right-hand (passenger) side inner quarter panel.
- Access the Module: Carefully remove any clips or fasteners holding the trunk liner or trim panel in place to expose the module.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector from the old module. Then, remove the nuts or bolts securing it to the vehicle body. The old module should now come free.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location, securing it with the original hardware. Reconnect the electrical connector, ensuring it clicks firmly into place.
- Final Steps: Reinstall the interior trim panel and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is successful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to provide my VIN?
Yes, absolutely. Providing your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is critical. We use it to load the precise, factory-correct software for your specific vehicle configuration. This ensures perfect compatibility and function without any additional programming.
Where can I find my VIN?
Your VIN is located on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Is this part difficult to install?
Not at all. For most DIY enthusiasts with basic tools, this is a straightforward repair. Since the module comes fully programmed, it’s a simple plug-and-play process. Just locate the old module, swap it with the new one, and reconnect the battery.
What is the difference between an FPCM and an FSCM?
There is no functional difference. FPCM (Fuel Pump Control Module) and FSCM (Fuel System Control Module) are two different names for the exact same part. Both refer to the electronic unit that regulates voltage to the fuel pump.
Will this fix a P069E code?
A faulty FPCM is the most common cause of a P069E trouble code. While you should always perform a proper diagnosis, replacing the module with our pre-programmed unit is the definitive fix in the vast majority of cases for this code.
