Is Your GM Vehicle Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating fuel delivery problems like engine sputtering, a sudden loss of power, or a car that cranks but won’t turn over, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common culprit. In my 20+ years as a diagnostic technician, I’ve seen this exact issue countless times. The FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, your engine is starved of fuel, leading to a host of performance and reliability issues.
From My Service Bay to Your Driveway: A customer’s 2014 Impala (which uses this exact same module) was towed to my shop last month. It would crank but not start. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the issue remained. A quick scan with my diagnostic tool showed a communication error code pointing directly to the FPCM. After confirming power and ground to the module, we knew the FPCM was the problem. A new, programmed module like this one had the car running perfectly in under 30 minutes, saving the customer from a second incorrect repair and a costly tow to the dealership.

Plug-and-Play Installation: Get Back on the Road Fast
Replacing your FPCM is a straightforward job you can do with basic hand tools. On most of the compatible vehicles, the module is located in the trunk area, behind the passenger-side (RH) interior quarter panel trim.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- Access the Module: Carefully remove the trunk trim panels on the right-hand side to expose the FPCM. It’s typically a small silver box with a single electrical connector.
- Swap the Part: Unplug the electrical connector and unbolt the old module from its mounting bracket. Bolt the new, pre-programmed module in its place.
- Final Connection: Firmly plug the wiring harness connector into your new module until it clicks. Re-install the trim panels.
- Power Up: Reconnect your battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start with its fuel system operating as designed.
Expert Pro Tip: Connector Inspection
Before plugging in your new module, take 30 seconds to closely inspect the vehicle’s wiring harness connector. Look for any signs of greenish-blue corrosion on the pins or melted plastic around the terminals. A poor connection due to corrosion or heat can cause intermittent faults and even damage the new module. Using a small brush and an electronics-safe contact cleaner on the connector is cheap insurance for a lasting repair.
