Restore Peak Performance and Reliability to Your GM Vehicle
Is your 2013-2014 Buick Verano, Chevy Cruze, or another compatible GM model suddenly stalling, hesitating during acceleration, or refusing to start? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the culprit is often 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 and incorrect repairs when a faulty FPCM was the root cause. This module is the direct, reliable solution to restore proper fuel delivery and get you back on the road with confidence.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install fix. The biggest hurdle with replacing modern electronics is the need for expensive, dealer-only programming. We eliminate that step entirely. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN after purchase, and our experts will program this module with the latest GM software specifically for your car. It arrives at your door ready to be installed, saving you hundreds in dealership fees and diagnostic time.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall Case
A customer brought in a 2014 Chevy Cruze with a frustrating problem: it would run perfectly for days, then suddenly stall at a red light and refuse to restart for 10-15 minutes. No consistent check engine light, just a history code for P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). Another shop had already replaced the fuel pump to no avail. I knew from experience that these FPCMs can fail intermittently due to heat soak. After letting the car run in the bay for 45 minutes, I monitored the fuel pressure command vs. actual pressure. Sure enough, the module started acting up, and pressure dropped off a cliff. Installing a new, properly programmed FPCM solved the issue permanently. This is a classic failure mode these modules exhibit.
