Is your Chevrolet Orlando or other GM vehicle suddenly stalling, hesitating during acceleration, or refusing to start? Before you suspect the fuel pump itself, the issue often lies with its electronic controller. This is a brand new, genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), part number 22874300, designed to be the definitive, reliable solution to these frustrating and common fuel delivery problems.
In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen countless drivers spend a fortune replacing fuel pumps when the real culprit was a faulty FPCM. This small but critical component acts as the brain for your fuel pump, regulating voltage to ensure precise fuel pressure for optimal engine performance and efficiency. When it fails, it can starve your engine of fuel, leading to a host of drivability issues. Our 2013 Orlando Fuel Pump Module eliminates the guesswork and the expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall Case
A customer brought in their 2014 Chevy Cruze with a tricky complaint: it would run perfectly for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight and refuse to restart for 10-15 minutes. No check engine light was on, but stored history codes pointed to P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On) and P2635 (Fuel Pump Flow/Performance). Instead of just throwing a fuel pump at it, we monitored the FPCM data stream. We saw the voltage to the pump drop to zero right before the stall. The module was overheating and cutting out. We replaced it with one of our pre-programmed FPCMs, and the customer was back on the road in under an hour, problem solved permanently, without paying for dealer programming fees.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?

A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2013 Orlando Fuel Pump Module is a simple process that most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, it’s a true plug-and-play repair.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most compatible vehicles, the FPCM is located in the trunk or cargo area, behind the right-hand (passenger side) inner quarter panel trim.
- Remove the Old Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, remove the nuts or bolts securing the old module to the vehicle body and remove it.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- Connect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal and start the vehicle to verify the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is required so we can program the module with the exact, most current GM software calibration for your specific car. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s other computers and guarantees plug-and-play functionality without a trip to the dealer.
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM is a small computer that receives commands from the main Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely controls the speed and voltage of the fuel pump. This ensures the engine gets the right amount of fuel pressure under all driving conditions, from idle to full throttle.
Is this part difficult to install?
Not at all. For most DIY enthusiasts with basic hand tools, this is a straightforward repair. The module is typically located behind a trim panel in the trunk or rear quarter panel area. Since our module comes pre-programmed, there is no complex computer work required on your end.
Can I use a part from a junkyard?
We strongly advise against it. A used module will be programmed to a different vehicle’s VIN and options, which will cause communication errors and likely prevent your car from starting. Our new modules are flashed with the latest software for a guaranteed, long-lasting repair.
