Is Your 2013-2014 Chevy Volt Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
As a technician with over two decades of experience under the hood, I’ve seen countless vehicles towed into my bay with fuel delivery issues. A common culprit on modern GM vehicles, especially the 2013-2014 Volt, isn’t the fuel pump itself, but the small computer that controls it: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). When this module fails, it can starve your engine of fuel, leading to frustrating and unpredictable problems like engine sputtering, a check engine light, or a complete no-start condition.
“A customer’s 2014 Cruze came in last week with a persistent P0230 code (Fuel Pump Primary Circuit Malfunction) and intermittent stalling. They had already spent hundreds replacing the in-tank fuel pump, but the problem remained. After a quick inspection, I found the real issue: the FPCM, mounted in the right rear quarter panel, had its connector pins showing signs of green corrosion from moisture intrusion. We replaced the module, cleaned the connector, and the car ran perfectly. It’s a classic case of misdiagnosis that I see all the time.”

- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s 12V battery before starting any electrical work.
- Access the Module: On the Chevy Volt, the FPCM is located behind the trim panel in the right-hand inner quarter panel area of the trunk/hatch.
- Swap the Part: Carefully unplug the electrical harnesses from the old module. Unbolt it from the vehicle body and set it aside.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in the same location. Securely plug in the electrical connectors, making sure they click into place.
