Restore Your Truck’s Reliability and Power
Is your 2007-2009 Silverado 1500 suffering from frustrating and unpredictable issues like long crank times, sudden stalling, or a complete no-start condition? Before you consider replacing the entire fuel pump, the real culprit is often the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This vital component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded. This module is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your truck running right again.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Stalling Sierra
I remember a 2008 Sierra 1500 that came into my shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the truck would still stall randomly, especially when accelerating onto the highway. He was frustrated and out of money. A quick scan showed a P069E code—a classic sign of an FPCM communication fault. We found the original module on the frame rail, corroded and water-damaged. Instead of sending him to a dealership for a costly programming session, we installed one of these VIN-programmed modules. The truck fired right up and ran perfectly. It’s a textbook case I’ve seen hundreds of times; the problem is rarely the pump itself, but this critical controller.
Why Choose a Pre-Programmed Module?
The single biggest challenge when replacing a modern vehicle module is the need for expensive, dealer-specific programming. Our process eliminates that step entirely. We take your vehicle’s VIN and flash this module with the latest, most stable GM software updates before it ships. This means no extra appointments, no towing fees, and no surprise labor charges. It arrives at your door ready for a direct, plug-and-play installation, making it the perfect choice for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump, leading to incorrect diagnoses. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Engine cranks but won’t start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load or when warm
- ✔ Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Noticeable loss of engine power
- ✔ Reduced fuel mileage
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the 2007-2009 Silverado FPCM is a job most people with basic tools can handle. On most GM trucks and SUVs, the module is located on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM mounted to the vehicle’s frame crossmember. It’s a small black box with electrical connectors.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical harnesses. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to the frame. These can be rusty, so applying a penetrating oil beforehand can help.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location. Ensure it is securely mounted.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a click.
- Final Step: Reconnect the battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN is required to load the exact, correct GM software for your truck’s specific configuration. This ensures perfect compatibility and function without any need for additional programming.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program the module to your VIN before shipping, it arrives ready to be installed. No trip to the dealer is necessary, saving you time and money.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Silverado?
On most Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, and Suburban models, the Fuel Pump Control Module is mounted to a crossmember on the driver’s side frame rail, typically above or near the spare tire.
Will this fix a check engine light for code P069E?
Yes, the P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is the most common diagnostic trouble code associated with a failing FPCM. Replacing the module is the standard and effective repair.
What makes this different from a module at a local auto parts store?
A module from a local store comes blank. You would still need to take your vehicle to a dealership or a properly equipped shop to have it programmed, adding significant cost and inconvenience to the repair. Ours is ready to install out of the box.
