Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Sputtering, or Refusing to Start?
You turn the key, and instead of a confident roar, you get a weak crank, a sputter, or nothing at all. Maybe your vehicle starts but then stalls randomly at a stoplight, or hesitates dangerously when you try to accelerate. These aren’t just annoyances; they’re serious safety concerns. In my 20+ years as a diagnostic technician, I’ve seen these exact symptoms countless times, and a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is one of the most common culprits on these GM vehicles.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine OEM-spec GM Fuel Pump Module and pre-program it with the latest official GM software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you time, money, and hassle.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
A customer’s 2008 Silverado 1500 came in on a tow truck last month. It would crank but not start. The owner had already spent hundreds replacing the in-tank fuel pump himself, assuming it was the problemโa very common and costly misdiagnosis. After a quick scan, I found code P069E: Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. Instead of diving back into the fuel tank, I checked the FPCM, located on the frame rail. It showed clear signs of corrosion, a frequent failure point due to its exposed location. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up. He could have saved himself a full weekend of frustration and the cost of a fuel pump by diagnosing the FPCM first.
Why Choose a Pre-Programmed Module?
A new GM Fuel Pump Module straight from the dealer parts counter is just a metal box. It requires a specialized scan tool (like a GM MDI) and a software subscription to link it to your vehicle. Our service handles that for you. Simply provide your VIN at checkout, and we do the rest. The module arrives at your door, ready for a straightforward installation.

Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Installing this module is a job most DIYers can handle in their own driveway. While locations vary slightly by model, the process is generally the same.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs (Tahoe, Sierra, etc.), the FPCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other models (Traverse, Acadia), it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle to avoid breaking the locking tabs. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed module in place. Before mounting, it’s a great idea to clean the grounding point on the frame with a wire brush for a solid connection.
- Reconnect and Test: Securely plug in the electrical connectors until they click. Reconnect the battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to let the system prime, then start the engine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How do I know if my FPCM is failing?
