Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2014 Impala experiencing frustrating and unpredictable issues like stalling, engine hesitation, or a complete no-start condition? Before you consider replacing the entire fuel pump, the problem often lies with a failing 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 precise fuel pressure for optimal engine performance. When it fails, it can starve your engine of fuel, leading to a host of driveability problems that can leave you stranded.
We offer a direct-fit, reliable solution with this FPCM, part number 22874299. The biggest challenge with replacing these modules has always been the mandatory, and often expensive, trip to the dealership for programming. We eliminate that step entirely. By providing us with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during checkout, our technicians will program the module with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. Your new 2014 Impala Fuel Pump Module arrives at your door, ready for a straightforward installation, saving you significant time and money.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Misleading Fuel Pump
I remember a 2014 Impala that came into the shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself after watching a few videos, but the car still wouldn’t start. He was convinced he got a bad pump. After a quick diagnostic check, I found a U0109 code—Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. The FPCM, tucked away in the rear quarter panel, had failed. The original fuel pump was likely fine. This pre-programmed module would have saved him a full weekend of unnecessary labor and the cost of a pump he didn’t need. It’s a perfect example of why diagnosing the complete fuel system is key.
Is Your Impala Showing These Telltale Signs?
A failing FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems. Here are the most common indicators that point to a faulty module:
- ✔ Engine stalls unexpectedly, especially while driving or at idle.
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Extended cranking time before the engine starts.
- ✔ Complete no-start condition, even with a good battery.
- ✔ Check Engine Light with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2014 Impala Fuel Pump Module is a manageable job for a DIY enthusiast. Since the module is pre-programmed, no special electronic tools are needed for the installation itself. Always consult a vehicle-specific repair manual for detailed instructions and torque specs.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On the 2014 Impala (new style), the FPCM is typically located in the trunk area, behind the trim on the right-hand (passenger side) rear quarter panel.
- Access the Module: Carefully remove the trunk lining and any plastic trim panels necessary to gain clear access to the FPCM.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. Be gentle with the locking tabs. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into position.
- Reassemble and Test: Reinstall the trim panels and trunk lining. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the fuel system to prime before starting the engine.
