Restore Your Truck’s Power and Reliability
Is your 2007-2009 GMC Sierra 1500, or another compatible GM vehicle, suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). Located on the frame rail, these modules are constantly exposed to harsh elements like water, road salt, and vibrations, leading to internal corrosion and failure. This failure can leave you stranded without warning, presenting a serious safety risk and a major inconvenience.
This replacement FPCM, part number 13501024, is the definitive solution. We take the guesswork and extra cost out of the repair by pre-programming the module to your truck’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means it arrives at your door ready for a direct, plug-and-play installation, with the latest GM software updates already loaded. You get to skip the expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you both time and hundreds of dollars in labor and service fees. This is the same professional-grade fix we’ve used in our shop for years to get customers back on the road safely and confidently.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2008 Silverado 1500 that came into the bay on a tow truck. The customer said it would crank but never start, and sometimes it would die while driving at low speeds. The check engine light was on, and a quick scan revealed code U0109 – Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. Instead of just throwing a fuel pump at it, we put it on the lift. The FPCM on the driver-side frame rail was swollen and the connectors were green with corrosion. After confirming power and ground were good at the harness, we knew the module was dead. A new, pre-programmed 2007-2009 Sierra 1500 Fuel Pump Control Module had the truck running perfectly in under 30 minutes. It’s a textbook failure on these trucks.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Sudden engine stalling, especially at idle or low speeds.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start (no-start condition).
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ “Reduced Engine Power” message on the dashboard.
- ✔ Check Engine Light with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as U0109, P069E, or P0230.
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs like the Sierra, Silverado, and Tahoe, the FPCM is mounted to the driver-side frame rail, typically near the spare tire.
- ✔ Remove the Old Module: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle, as the plastic clips can become brittle. Then, remove the bolts securing the module to the frame.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Ensure it is securely fastened to the frame.
- ✔ Connect and Secure: Firmly plug in the electrical connectors until they click. A dab of dielectric grease on the pins is recommended to prevent future corrosion.
- ✔ Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN is required to program the module with the correct, vehicle-specific software and the latest updates from GM. This ensures perfect compatibility and function without a trip to the dealer.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, it is ready for installation right out of the box. Simply bolt it on, plug it in, and your vehicle is ready to go.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Sierra 1500?
On the 2007-2009 Sierra and Silverado, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted on the outside of the driver-side frame rail, often near the spare tire.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is a very common indicator that the FPCM has failed. Replacing it with this programmed unit is the correct repair for that code.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module until we receive your VIN, as the programming is essential for the part to function in your vehicle. Please send us your VIN through messaging after your purchase to avoid delays.
