Restore Your Truck’s Power and Reliability
Is your 2007-2009 Silverado 1500 stumbling, stalling, or refusing to start? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the frame rail, this critical component is exposed to harsh road conditions—water, salt, and vibrations—leading to corrosion and internal failure. This results in erratic fuel pressure, causing a host of drivability problems that can leave you stranded. I’ve seen it hundreds of times in my shop: a truck comes in on a tow hook with a no-start condition, and the diagnostic codes point directly to a faulty FPCM.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine GM module and program it with the latest factory software specifically for your vehicle’s VIN. This means you skip the expensive trip to the dealership for programming. You get a part that communicates flawlessly with your truck’s computer, restoring the precise fuel delivery your engine needs for optimal performance and efficiency. For anyone tackling this job, our pre-programmed Silverado 1500 Fuel Module is the smartest, most direct path to getting your truck back on the road with confidence.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in his ’08 Sierra 1500 with a frustrating intermittent stall. It would run fine for days, then die at a stoplight and refuse to restart for 20 minutes. He had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. When I got it on the lift, I went straight for the FPCM on the driver’s side frame rail. The tell-tale sign was there: the aluminum casing was swollen and covered in white, chalky corrosion. The module was overheating and shutting down. After installing one of our pre-programmed modules—a 15-minute job—the truck ran perfectly. This simple check saved the customer from more wasted time and money on incorrect diagnoses.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, especially when warm.
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ “Service Engine Soon” or “Reduced Engine Power” message on the dash.
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P025A, or U0109 stored in the ECM.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new Silverado 1500 Fuel Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Since we program it beforehand, you won’t need any special scan tools.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most Silverado/Sierra models, you’ll find the FPCM mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, just in front of the rear axle near the spare tire.
- Disconnect the Harness: Carefully press the release tab and unplug the main electrical connector from the old module.
- Remove the Old Module: Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts (typically two) securing the module to the frame. The old module may be corroded, so some gentle persuasion might be needed.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM onto the frame and tighten the bolts securely.
- Reconnect and Test: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module until it clicks. Reconnect the battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to prime the system before starting the engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. Just provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and the module will arrive ready for plug-and-play installation.
What is the main cause of FPCM failure?
The primary cause is exposure to the elements. Mounted on the vehicle’s frame, the module is subjected to water, road salt, and dirt, which leads to corrosion of the aluminum housing and internal electronic failure.
Is this the same as a fuel pump driver module?
Yes, Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) and Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) are different names for the same component. It controls the voltage and speed of the electric fuel pump.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On) is a very common indicator of a failing FPCM. Replacing the module is the standard repair for this code.
Where is this module located on my 2009 Chevy Traverse?
On the Traverse, Acadia, and Enclave platform, the FPCM is typically located on or near the rear subframe/crossmember, rather than the side frame rail like on the trucks.
