Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If your 2007-2009 GM vehicle is experiencing frustrating fuel delivery problems, the root cause is often not the fuel pump itself, but this critical component: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). A failing FPCM can leave you stranded with a no-start condition or cause dangerous stalling in traffic. This replacement module is your direct, reliable solution to restore proper engine performance and peace of mind.
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. He had already spent hundreds replacing the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. After a quick diagnostic scan, we saw code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On. This code points directly to the FPCM, not the pump. These modules are notorious for failing due to their location on the frame rail, where they’re exposed to water, salt, and corrosion. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up. He could have saved himself a weekend of frustration and the cost of a new fuel pump by diagnosing the FPCM first.”
The Smart Solution: A VIN-Programmed Module
Forget expensive dealership visits and the hassle of programming tools. We take care of the most complex part for you. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash this module with the latest, most stable software directly from GM. It arrives at your door ready for a simple, plug-and-play installation.
Symptoms of a Failing GM Fuel Pump Control Module
If you’re noticing any of these issues, a faulty FPCM is the likely culprit:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load
- โ Stuttering or hesitation during acceleration
- โ Reduced power and poor fuel economy
- โ A “Service StabiliTrak” or “Service Traction Control” message on the dash
- โ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or P0627
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
You can get your vehicle back on the road in under an hour with basic hand tools. While locations vary slightly by model, the process is straightforward.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon), it’s mounted on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other models like the Traverse or Canyon, it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be sure to clean any dirt or debris from the connectors before plugging them into your new module. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place and securely reconnect the electrical harnesses.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I provide my VIN for programming?
A: After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We must have your VIN to program the module before we can ship it.
Q: Is this part difficult to install myself?
A: Not at all. For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a very straightforward repair. Since the module comes pre-programmed, you just need to unbolt the old one and bolt the new one in its place.
Q: What happens if I install it without programming?
A: An unprogrammed module will not communicate correctly with your vehicle’s main computer (ECM/PCM). This will result in a no-start condition and will not fix your problem.
Q: How do I know for sure my FPCM is bad?
A: The most definitive way is with a diagnostic scan tool looking for FPCM-specific codes. However, symptoms like a crank-no-start condition after the fuel pump has been verified as good, or intermittent stalling, are very strong indicators of a failing FPCM on these GM models.
Q: Does this module come with new bolts or hardware?
A: This listing is for the programmed module only. In most cases, you can safely reuse the original mounting hardware. Be sure to clean any corrosion off the bolts before reinstallation.
