Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2013 Chevrolet Orlando or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation during acceleration, or a dreaded no-start condition? Before you suspect the fuel pump itself, the culprit is often its electronic brain: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and facing a confusing diagnosis.
We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the equation. This is a direct-fit replacement FPCM, part number 22874300, that arrives at your door fully programmed with the latest GM software. All we need is your vehicle’s VIN at checkout. This means no expensive trips to the dealer for programming—it’s a true plug-and-play solution designed to get you back on the road quickly and confidently.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall Mystery
I remember a 2013 Chevy Cruze that came into my shop with a problem that was driving the owner crazy. The car would run perfectly for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight or hesitate badly when pulling into traffic. There were no consistent warning lights, just a random P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Performance) stored in the history. We checked fuel pressure, and it was erratic—sometimes perfect, sometimes dropping off a cliff. Instead of immediately replacing the expensive fuel pump, we focused on the FPCM. After swapping in a new module, the fuel pressure stabilized instantly. The intermittent electrical failure inside the old module was causing the unpredictable behavior. This is a classic failure I’ve seen on dozens of these GM platforms, and a pre-programmed 2013 Orlando Fuel Pump Module is the most efficient fix.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially when warm or at idle
- ✔ Severe hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, U0109, or P0230
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most compatible vehicles, including the Orlando, Cruze, and Sonic, the FPCM is located inside the vehicle, behind the right-hand (passenger side) rear quarter panel trim. You will likely need to remove some plastic trim panels to gain access.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. Then, unbolt it from its mounting location. Typically, it’s held in place by one or two small bolts or nuts.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Firmly reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into place.
- ✔ Final Steps: Reinstall any interior trim panels you removed. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming required.
Why Our Pre-Programmed Module is the Smart Choice
Choosing our programmed FPCM saves you significant time and money. A blank module from a dealership requires a tow to their service bay and an hour or more of labor charges for programming with their proprietary tools. Our process handles that for you. We use your VIN to load the correct, vehicle-specific software and the latest updates from GM, which can resolve underlying drivability issues the original software may have had. This ensures optimal performance and communication between the FPCM and your vehicle’s other computer systems. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a comprehensive solution for your fuel system woes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential because it allows us to program the module with the exact software calibration specified by GM for your vehicle’s engine, transmission, and options. This ensures perfect compatibility and performance right out of the box.
Is this part difficult to install for a DIYer?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a very manageable job. The primary task is accessing the module behind the interior trim panel. Once accessed, it’s a simple unbolt-and-unplug process. Our pre-programming eliminates the most difficult step: the software flashing.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed or incorrectly programmed FPCM will not work. The vehicle will not start because the module cannot communicate with the Engine Control Module (ECM) or properly command the fuel pump. This is why our pre-programming service is so valuable.
Is this the same as the fuel pump driver module?
Yes, the terms Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), and Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) are often used interchangeably to describe the same component. Its job is to control the fuel pump’s operation.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
A P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Performance) is one of the most common indicators of a failing FPCM. While you should always perform a complete diagnosis, a faulty module is the most frequent cause for this code, and replacing it with our programmed unit is the standard, reliable repair.
