Restore Your Truck’s Reliability and Performance
There’s nothing more frustrating than a truck that won’t start or stalls without warning. If your 2008-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 is suffering from intermittent starting issues, hesitation under acceleration, or sudden engine cut-offs, the culprit is often a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the frame rail, this critical component is exposed to harsh road conditions, leading to corrosion and internal electronic failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a safety concern. This module is the brain behind your fuel delivery system, and when it fails, it leaves you stranded.
We offer a direct, reliable solution. This is a genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 13501024, that arrives at your doorstep fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means you can skip the expensive trip to the dealership for programming. We handle the complex part, loading the latest GM software updates onto the module before we ship it. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s ECM and optimal fuel system performance from the moment you install it.
Case Study: The Silverado That Stumped Everyone
I had a 2008 Silverado 1500 towed into my bay last year. The owner was at his wit’s end. He’d already replaced the fuel pump twice, but the truck would still randomly stall at red lights and sometimes refuse to start in the morning. The codes were intermittent—mostly U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module). Instead of throwing another pump at it, we put it on the lift. The FPCM, mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, was caked in mud and its casing was swollen. Water intrusion had fried the circuit board. We installed a new, VIN-programmed FPCM, and the truck has run flawlessly ever since. It’s a textbook example of why diagnosing the *entire* system, not just the loudest part, is key.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump. Before you spend hundreds on a pump replacement, check if your vehicle is exhibiting these common signs of a module failure. A faulty Avalanche Fuel Control Module can be the hidden cause of your headaches.
- âś” Engine cranks but refuses to start
- âś” Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving or at idle
- âś” Noticeable hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- âś” Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- âś” Check Engine Light with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P069E, U0109, P0230, or P2535
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
One of the biggest benefits of our pre-programmed module is the simple, DIY-friendly installation. No special programming tools are required. You can get your truck back on the road in under an hour.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most compatible trucks and SUVs like the Avalanche, the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing 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.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Final Step: Start the vehicle. It may take a couple of key cycles for the fuel system to prime. Your Check Engine Light should turn off, and your truck should run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN to program the module?
Your VIN allows us to load the exact GM-specified software and calibrations for your vehicle’s specific configuration (engine, transmission, options). This ensures the FPCM communicates correctly with the Engine Control Module (ECM) for optimal fuel pressure and performance, eliminating the need for a dealer visit.
Is this part difficult to install for a DIYer?
Not at all. Since the module comes pre-programmed, it’s a plug-and-play installation. It typically involves removing a few bolts and unplugging electrical connectors. Basic hand tools are all that’s required, making it a great project for a DIY enthusiast.
Will this fix a Check Engine Light with code P069E or U0109?
Yes, in most cases. DTCs P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On) and U0109 (Lost Communication with FPCM) are classic indicators of a failing module. Replacing a faulty FPCM with this pre-programmed unit is the correct fix for these codes.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Avalanche?
On the 2008-2009 Avalanche 1500, the Fuel Pump Control Module is mounted on the outside of the driver-side frame rail, usually above or near the rear axle. Its exposure to the elements is a primary reason for its failure.
What is the difference between this module and the fuel pump?
The fuel pump is a mechanical device inside your gas tank that physically pumps fuel. This Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is the electronic ‘brain’ that tells the fuel pump how fast to run based on engine demand. A bad FPCM can make a good fuel pump seem faulty.
