Restore Your Truck’s Power and Reliability
Is your 2007-2009 Silverado, Sierra, or other GM truck suddenly stalling, hesitating, 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, leading to corrosion and internal failure. This results in erratic fuel pressure, causing a host of frustrating and potentially dangerous engine performance issues. We offer a direct, reliable solution: a genuine GM FPCM, part number 20850907, that arrives at your door fully programmed and ready for installation.
The biggest hurdle in replacing an FPCM has always been the mandatory, and costly, trip to the dealership for programming. We eliminate that step entirely. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest, most stable GM software specific to your truck. This isn’t just a replacement; it’s a permanent fix that restores factory performance and communication, saving you time, money, and the headache of a tow bill. This is the smart, efficient way to get your truck back on the road.
Case Study: The Silverado That Wouldn’t Stay Running
A customer brought in an ’08 Silverado 1500 that would start fine but stall randomly, especially when coming to a stop or under light acceleration. He had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. A quick scan showed a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On). Instead of guessing, we monitored the commanded fuel pressure versus the actual pressure on our scan tool. The commanded pressure was steady, but the actual pressure was dropping out completely just before the stall. This pointed directly to a failing FPCM. Its location on the driver-side frame rail had exposed it to years of road salt and moisture. We installed a new, pre-programmed FPCM, and the truck ran perfectly. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the control side of the circuit saved the customer from replacing another expensive part he didn’t need.
Is Your Truck Exhibiting These Telltale Signs?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely cause. Confirming these symptoms can save you from a costly misdiagnosis.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling while driving, especially under load or when warm
- ✔ Severe engine hesitation or sputtering on acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, P0230, P0627, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2007-2009 Silverado FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle in their own driveway with basic hand tools. Since we’ve pre-programmed it to your VIN, no special electronic tools are needed.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Silverado and Tahoe, the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically above the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Be sure to press the release tab to avoid damage. Then, remove the bolts or nuts (usually 2 or 3) holding the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- Final Connections: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module until it clicks. Reconnect your battery’s negative terminal.
- Verify the Fix: Start the vehicle. It may take a moment to prime the fuel system. Your engine should now run smoothly without stalling or hesitation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) allows our technicians to program the module with the exact GM software and calibrations for your specific vehicle. This ensures perfect communication with your truck’s computer system and is required for the part to function correctly.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, for most DIYers with basic tools, this is a straightforward installation. The module is typically located on the frame rail and held on by a few bolts. Since we pre-program it, there’s no complex electronic work needed—just plug it in.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
Yes, the P069E code is one of the most common indicators of a failed Fuel Pump Control Module. In the vast majority of cases, replacing the FPCM with this pre-programmed unit will resolve the code and the underlying issue.
What is the difference between the FPCM and the fuel pump?
The fuel pump is located inside your gas tank and physically pumps the fuel. The FPCM is the computer that tells the fuel pump how fast to run. The FPCM often fails first, leading people to mistakenly replace a perfectly good fuel pump.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Silverado?
On most 2007-2009 GM trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Sierra, and Tahoe, the FPCM is bolted to the inside of the driver-side frame rail, often near or above the spare tire.
