Restore Your Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2007-2009 Silverado, Sierra, or other GM truck experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, engine hesitation, or a dreaded no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the frame rail, these modules are exposed to harsh elements, heat, and vibration, leading to premature failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue that can leave you stranded. This module, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the direct-fit solution to restore proper fuel delivery and get your truck running like it should.
What sets this part apart is our complimentary programming service. We flash this module with the latest GM-approved software specific to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships. This means you receive a true plug-and-play part, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. For a professional technician, this saves valuable bay time. For the DIYer, it makes the repair straightforward and achievable in your own driveway. This is the most efficient way to install a new 2007-2009 Silverado Fuel Pump Module and ensure it communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s computer systems.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I remember a 2008 Sierra 1500 that came into my shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself but was still dealing with an intermittent no-start and stalling when coming to a stop. He was convinced he got a bad pump. After hooking up my scan tool, I saw a U0109 code—Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. A quick check under the truck revealed the original, corrosion-covered FPCM. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. The customer saved hundreds by avoiding a second fuel pump job and a dealership programming fee. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the complete system, not just the most obvious part, is key.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine stalls unexpectedly, especially at low speeds or idle.
- ✔ Difficulty starting the engine or extended cranking time.
- ✔ Vehicle hesitates or stumbles during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ A complete no-start condition, even with a good fuel pump.
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 Silverado and Sierra models, the FPCM is mounted to the driver-side frame rail, typically near the spare tire. Other vehicles like the Colorado or Traverse may have it on a rear crossmember. Always verify the location on your specific vehicle.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector(s) from the old module. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as they can become brittle. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the module to the frame.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed 2007-2009 Silverado Fuel Pump Module in the same location. Secure it with the original hardware.
- ✔ Connect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module until it clicks. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Cycle the Key: Turn the ignition key to the ‘On’ position (without starting the engine) for 10 seconds to allow the system to initialize. Your vehicle is now ready to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and it will arrive ready to install.
Where do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a placard on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
Is this a difficult part to replace for a DIYer?
For most DIYers with basic hand tools, this is a very manageable repair. It typically involves removing a few bolts and unplugging a connector. Since no programming is required on your end, it’s a true bolt-in replacement.
How do I know if my fuel pump or this module is the problem?
While symptoms can be similar, a failing FPCM often throws specific communication codes like U0109 or power supply codes like P069E. If your truck stalls intermittently but then restarts, the FPCM is a very common cause. A completely dead fuel pump will typically not work at all.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will typically only need a basic socket set to remove the mounting bolts. A penetrating oil spray can also be helpful if the hardware is rusty from being under the vehicle.
