Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2014 Camaro, Cruze, or Impala suddenly stalling, hesitating during acceleration, or refusing to start? These are classic signs of a failing 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 pump, regulating voltage to ensure your engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and facing a frustrating diagnostic puzzle. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen these modules cause intermittent issues that are often misdiagnosed, leading to wasted time and money on unnecessary parts.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We take the guesswork and dealership hassle out of the repair. Simply provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) after purchase, and we will program this module with the very latest GM software updates specific to your car. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s ECU and optimal fuel delivery from the moment you install it. No expensive trips to the dealer for programming are required.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent No-Start
A customer brought in a 2014 Impala with a complaint that stumped two other shops: it would randomly fail to start, but only after sitting for an hour. The fuel pump had already been replaced. We checked fuel pressure, and it was fine when it ran. The key was a stored history code, U0109 – Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. We found the FPCM tucked away in the right rear quarter panel. A simple tap on the module while cranking would make the car start every time. The module’s internal electronics were failing intermittently when warm. Replacing it with a pre-programmed unit like this one solved the problem permanently, saving the customer from further diagnostic headaches.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A faulty FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems. Before you replace your fuel pump, check if your vehicle is exhibiting these common signs of a module failure. A failing 2014 Camaro Fuel Pump Module often triggers specific trouble codes.
- ✔ Engine cranks but won’t start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when coming to a stop
- ✔ Severe hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Rough idle or inconsistent engine performance
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
- ✔ Reduced fuel economy and poor power output
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. The key is locating the module, which is typically in the trunk or behind an interior quarter panel trim piece.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On the 2014 Camaro, it’s behind the trim panel in the trunk on the right-hand (passenger) side. For other models, it’s often in a similar location in the right rear quarter panel area.
- Access the Module: Carefully remove any trunk liners or plastic trim panels necessary to expose the FPCM.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. Then, unbolt it from its mounting bracket. Typically, it’s held by one or two small bolts or nuts.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into place.
- Reassemble and Test: Reinstall the trim panels you removed. Reconnect the battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the system to prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2014 Camaro Fuel Pump Module
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN is essential for us to program the module with the correct, vehicle-specific software and the latest updates from GM. This ensures the FPCM communicates perfectly with your car’s computer system for optimal performance and prevents compatibility issues.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
For most DIYers with basic hand tools, this is a straightforward installation. The module is typically located behind a trim panel in the trunk or rear quarter panel area. Since our module comes pre-programmed, there’s no need for special electronic tools or a trip to the dealership, making it a simple plug-and-play process.
What is the difference between this and just buying one from a parts store?
A standard parts store module will arrive blank. You would then need to take your vehicle to a dealership or a properly equipped shop to have it programmed, adding significant cost and inconvenience to your repair. Our module arrives ready to install, saving you that extra step and expense.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is a very common code indicating a fault within the FPCM itself. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct and most common repair for this code.
Is this compatible with part number 22874299?
Yes, this module, part number 22874300, is a fully compatible and direct replacement for part number 22874299.
