Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2013-2014 Buick Verano, Cruze, or Sonic experiencing frustrating issues like engine stalling, hesitation during acceleration, or a dreaded no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump itself, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This small but critical component is the brain behind your fuel delivery system, and when it fails, it can leave you stranded. For over 20 years in my repair shop, I’ve seen countless drivers replace their fuel pump only to find the real problem was this module all along.
We offer a definitive solution: a genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module (part #22874300) that arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. This eliminates the most significant hurdle in this repair—the need for expensive dealership programming or specialized scan tools. You get a part that’s loaded with the latest GM software updates, ensuring optimal performance and communication with your vehicle’s computer. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install fix that restores fuel pressure regulation and engine stability.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent Stall
A customer brought in a 2014 Chevy Cruze with a classic, infuriating problem: it would randomly stall at stoplights. There were no consistent codes at first, just a U0109 (Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module) that would pop up occasionally. We checked fuel pressure, and it was erratic—sometimes perfect, sometimes dropping to near zero right before a stall. The owner had already paid another shop to replace the fuel pump, but the issue persisted. I went straight for the FPCM, located in the right inner quarter panel. After swapping it with our pre-programmed module, the fuel pressure stabilized immediately. The car ran flawlessly for a week of test drives. It’s a textbook case where understanding the system saves hundreds of dollars and immense frustration.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is a likely cause. In my diagnostic experience, these are the most common indicators:
- ✔ Engine cranks but won’t start
- ✔ Stalling at idle or while driving
- ✔ Severe hesitation or sputtering on acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor performance
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
- ✔ A buzzing noise from the fuel pump that is inconsistent
Why Our Pre-Programmed 2013-2014 Verano Fuel Pump Control Module is the Smart Choice
Choosing our VIN-programmed FPCM is the most efficient way to get your car back on the road. When you buy a module from a dealership, you’re only getting half the solution. You still have to pay for labor and a separate programming fee, which can add hundreds to your final bill. Our solution integrates the part and the programming into one seamless purchase. We handle the complex part, so you can focus on the straightforward installation.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
This is a repair many DIY enthusiasts can handle with basic tools. The module is typically located in the trunk area, behind the right-side trim panel.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Access the Module: In most of the listed vehicles, you’ll need to remove the trunk lining or the right rear quarter panel trim to expose the FPCM. It’s a small black box with an electrical connector.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical harness from the old module. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket. It’s usually held on by one or two small bolts or nuts.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Reconnect and Reassemble: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module. You should hear a click. Reinstall any trim panels you removed.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start with its fully functional, updated fuel system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
No. This is the primary benefit of our service. We program the module to the VIN you provide during checkout. It arrives ready to install, with no further programming required.
Where do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the part until we have this information to complete the programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a relatively simple installation. The module is typically accessible by removing some interior trim panels in the trunk or rear quarter panel area. Our installation guide above provides the general steps.
How is this different from buying a part at a local auto parts store?
Standard parts store modules are ‘blank’ and require expensive, specialized tools to be programmed to your vehicle. Our module comes pre-programmed, saving you a trip to the dealer and significant programming fees.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common codes indicating a failed FPCM. Replacing the module with our programmed unit is the correct repair for this code.
