Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that won’t run reliably. If your 2008-2009 GM vehicle is experiencing sudden stalling, poor acceleration, a check engine light with fuel system codes (like the notorious P069E), or a complete no-start condition, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is the most likely culprit. This small but critical component, often called a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is responsible for managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs to run properly, leaving you stranded and facing a potentially expensive diagnostic bill.
Forget the dealership hassle and high programming fees. This is the definitive, ready-to-install solution. We provide a high-quality GM Fuel Pump Control Module that arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates. All we need is your vehicle’s VIN to ensure a perfect, vehicle-specific match. This eliminates the need for expensive scan tools or a trip to the dealer, saving you time, money, and stress.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
“A customer’s 2008 Silverado 1500 was towed in last month with a classic ‘crank, no-start’ issue. They had already replaced the fuel pump themselves, but the problem persisted. A quick scan showed code P069E—Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Off. Instead of blindly replacing parts, we checked the FPCM. These modules are mounted on the frame rail, exposed to water, salt, and road debris, which corrodes the housing and internal electronics. Sure enough, the original module was shot. We installed one of our pre-programmed units, and the truck fired right up. The customer saved hundreds by avoiding a misdiagnosis and unnecessary dealer programming fees.”
Symptoms of a Failing GM Fuel Pump Control Module
If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s time to inspect your FPCM:
- ✔ Engine stalls unexpectedly, especially while driving.
- ✔ Vehicle cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or power loss during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced fuel economy and poor engine performance.
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ A “Service Fuel System” or “Engine Power is Reduced” message on the dash.
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
This GM Fuel Pump Control Module is designed for a straightforward installation. Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, it’s ready to go right out of the box.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs (like the Silverado, Tahoe, and Yukon), the FPCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other models, it may be in the rear crossmember or engine compartment. A quick search for your specific model will confirm its location.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle to avoid breaking the clips. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module in place. It’s wise to clean the mounting surface and electrical connectors with a contact cleaner before installation.
- Reconnect and Test: Securely plug in the electrical connectors until they click. Reconnect the battery terminal and start the vehicle. Your fuel system issues should be resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
A: The FPCM acts as a smart relay for your fuel pump. It receives commands from the Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely regulates the voltage and speed of the fuel pump to deliver the exact amount of fuel the engine needs for optimal performance and efficiency.
Q: How do I know for sure my FPCM is bad?
A: Common symptoms include stalling, no-start, and fuel-related error codes like P069E. A mechanic can confirm this by testing the voltage at the fuel pump and checking communication with the module via a scan tool.
Q: Why is providing my VIN so important?
A: Your VIN allows us to load the exact, correct GM software calibration for your vehicle’s specific configuration (engine, transmission, emissions). This ensures flawless communication with other vehicle systems and guarantees proper function without any additional programming.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: Absolutely. If you are comfortable with basic hand tools and working under your vehicle, this is a very manageable DIY job. Since our module is pre-programmed, the most difficult part of the process (the software flashing) is already done for you.
