Restore Your Vehicle’s Fuel System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Is your 2008-2009 Savana 1500 Van or other GM truck experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation, or a complete no-start condition? Before you consider replacing the entire fuel pump, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). In my 20+ years of diagnostics, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners and even professional shops chase this problem, replacing expensive parts when the solution was this simple electronic module. This FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the intelligent component that regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring optimal fuel pressure and engine performance.
The biggest hurdle in replacing an FPCM has always been the mandatory, and often costly, trip to the dealership for programming. We eliminate that step entirely. By providing us with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during checkout, you will receive a module that is professionally flashed with the latest, most stable GM software specific to your vehicle. This isn’t just a convenience; it’s critical for proper communication between the FPCM and your vehicle’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This ensures a seamless, direct-fit replacement that restores factory performance and reliability right out of the box.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Misleading Fuel Pump
I remember a 2008 Silverado 1500 that came into my shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself after the truck died on the highway. It started once, ran rough for a minute, and then died again, refusing to restart. He was convinced he got a bad pump. I hooked up my scan tool and saw the dreaded code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. A quick check of the data stream showed the FPCM wasn’t commanding the pump on. The module, exposed to the elements on the frame rail, had failed internally from corrosion. We installed one of our pre-programmed FPCMs, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. He spent a whole weekend and hundreds of dollars on a pump he didn’t need, when the real fix was a 15-minute FPCM swap.
Is Your GM Truck or Van Showing These Signs?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the most likely solution:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or loss of power during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with specific trouble codes
- ✔ Common Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): P069E, U0109, P0230, P0606
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
With the programming already handled by our experts, installing your new FPCM is a simple process. While the exact location can vary slightly by model, it’s typically found on the driver’s side frame rail or a rear crossmember.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most trucks and vans like the Savana, Silverado, and Sierra, it’s mounted to the frame rail under the driver’s side of the vehicle. On vehicles like the Traverse or Acadia, it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s). Then, remove the bolts or nuts (usually 2 or 3) holding the module to its bracket or the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location, securing it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect: Firmly plug the electrical connector(s) into the new module until they click into place.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is complete and the engine is running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN is essential because it allows us to load the exact GM-specified software for your vehicle’s engine, transmission, and options. This ensures perfect compatibility and function, eliminating the need for a dealer visit.
Is this part difficult to install?
No. Since we handle all the programming, the physical installation is very straightforward for a DIYer with basic tools. It’s typically a matter of unplugging the old module and bolting the new one in its place.
Will this fix a P069E or U0109 trouble code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. These codes point directly to a fault with the FPCM or its communication. A new, correctly programmed module is the definitive repair for these specific codes.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Silverado?
On a 2009 Silverado 1500, the Fuel Pump Control Module is mounted to the frame crossmember located just in front of the spare tire. It’s exposed to the elements, which is a common reason for its failure.
What happens if I install a module from a junkyard without programming?
An unprogrammed or incorrectly programmed module will not work. It will either fail to communicate with your vehicle’s main computer, resulting in a no-start condition, or it will deliver incorrect voltage to the fuel pump, causing poor performance and potential damage.
