Stop Stalling, Start Driving: The Ultimate FPCM Solution
Is your 2008-2009 Chevrolet Express 1500 van stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is a notoriously common culprit on these workhorse vehicles, leaving you stranded and costing you valuable time and money. This pre-programmed module is the direct-fit, plug-and-play solution to restore your van’s reliability and get you back on the job fast.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct-Fit Solution
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump, leading to frustrating and expensive misdiagnoses. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your likely solution:
- Check Engine Light: Often with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) like P069E, P0230, or P0627.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but won’t fire up due to a lack of fuel pressure.
- Stalling: The engine dies unexpectedly, especially when coming to a stop or at idle.

Expert Mechanic’s Insight
From over 20 years in the garage, I’ve seen countless owners replace the in-tank fuel pump on these GM trucks and vans, only to have the exact same no-start or stalling problem remain. The real issue is almost always this FPCM. Its location on the frame rail exposes it to years of heat, water, and road salt, causing internal failure. The critical part of the repair is the programming—a new module from the parts store is just a paperweight until it’s coded to the vehicle. Our service of programming the 2008-2009 Express 1500 Fuel Pump Control Module before it ships saves you that massive diagnostic headache and the high labor costs of a dealership, making this the smartest, most efficient way to fix your vehicle right the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this part to a dealer for programming?
Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module for you before we ship it. All you need to do is provide us with your vehicle’s VIN after purchase. The module will arrive ready to install.
Where is this module located on my 2008-2009 Express 1500?
