Is Your Chevy Cruze Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re experiencing erratic engine performance, a sudden loss of power, or a car that cranks but won’t turn over, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is one of the most common culprits. I’ve seen it countless times in my 20+ years as a diagnostic technician. A customer’s 2014 Cruze was towed to my shop last month with these exact symptoms. It would crank but not start, and the fuel pressure was zero. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump, but the issue remained. The real problem was this module, which had failed internally and wasn’t sending power to the new pump. This is a classic, expensive misdiagnosis we can help you avoid.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine GM module and program it with the very latest vehicle-specific software from General Motors using the VIN you provide. This critical step ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s computer and often corrects the underlying software logic that may have contributed to the original failure.
The Simple Solution to Common Fuel System Problems
Don’t let a small electronic module keep your car off the road. A failing FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), can trigger a range of frustrating issues. Our pre-programmed module is designed to permanently resolve them.
- โ Fixes Common Symptoms: Eliminates no-start conditions, engine stalling, hesitation under acceleration, and rough idling caused by incorrect fuel pressure.
- โ Clears Trouble Codes: A direct fix for diagnostic trouble codes like P069E, P0230, and other fuel-related faults.
- โ 100% Programmed for You: We flash the module to your vehicle’s exact VIN before shipping. It arrives ready for installation.
- โ No Dealer Required: Save hundreds of dollars and the hassle of a dealership visit. No additional programming or calibration is needed.
- โ Latest GM Software: Your module comes loaded with the most current GM software, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
Diagnosing Your 2013-2014 Cruze Fuel Pump Module
The FPCM is responsible for precisely controlling the voltage sent to the fuel pump. When it fails, the fuel pump either gets no power or incorrect power, leading to improper fuel pressure. Besides the symptoms listed above, you might hear the fuel pump not priming (that initial hum) when you turn the key to the ‘ON’ position. This module is the brain of your fuel delivery system, and when it goes bad, the whole system stops working correctly.
Expert Pro Tip: Before plugging in your new module, take a moment to inspect the electrical connector harness. Look for any signs of corrosion (green or white powder) or heat damage (melted plastic). A poor connection is a leading cause of repeat module failure. I use a small amount of dielectric grease on the pins to protect against future moisture intrusionโit’s a 30-second step that can save you hundreds of dollars down the road.
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
You can do this job yourself with basic hand tools. On most compatible vehicles like the Cruze, Sonic, and Verano, the module is located in the trunk area.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Open the trunk and look for the module mounted behind the right-hand (passenger side) interior trim panel or carpet liner.
- Access the Module: Carefully remove any plastic clips or fasteners holding the trunk liner in place to expose the FPCM.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs to avoid breaking them. Then, unbolt the old module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed module into the same location and securely reconnect the electrical connectors. You should hear a positive ‘click’.
- Reassemble and Test: Reinstall the trunk liner, reconnect the battery terminal, and cycle the ignition key to the ‘ON’ position (without starting) for 5 seconds, then ‘OFF’ for 10 seconds. Repeat this 2-3 times to prime the fuel system before starting the engine.
