Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that leaves you stranded. If your 2008-2009 GM vehicle is experiencing sudden stalls, has a long crank time, or simply won’t start, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common culprit. You might also have a check engine light with diagnostic trouble code P069E. In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen this exact issue hundreds of times, especially on trucks like the Silverado and Sierra where the module is mounted on the frame rail, exposed to the elements.
Just last month, a customer brought in his 2008 Chevy Tahoe. It would run for a few minutes and then die, refusing to restart for half an hour. He had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. After a quick diagnostic check, we found the FPCM was overheating and failing. The original modules are notorious for corrosion at the connector and internal electronic failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that can leave you stranded.
The Plug-and-Play Solution: A VIN-Programmed FPCM
Forget expensive dealership visits and the hassle of programming. This Fuel Pump Control Module is the direct, reliable solution you need. We take the guesswork out of the repair by programming the module specifically to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s powertrain control module (PCM) right out of the box.
- โ VIN Programmed & Ready to Install: We flash the module with the latest GM-certified software using your vehicle’s VIN. No programming tools or dealer trips are necessary.
- โ Direct-Fit Replacement: Engineered to match the original form and function, guaranteeing a seamless installation. This module is a direct replacement for part numbers 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, and more.
- โ Solves Common Fuel System Issues: A reliable fix for no-start conditions, engine stalling, hesitation under acceleration, and DTC P069E.
- โ Restores Proper Fuel Pressure: The FPCM precisely controls the voltage sent to the fuel pump. A new, correctly functioning module ensures your engine gets the exact amount of fuel it needs for optimal performance and efficiency.
Installing Your New GM Fuel Pump Control Module
Replacing the FPCM is a straightforward job that most DIY mechanics can handle in their own driveway. The location varies slightly by model (often on the driver’s side frame rail near the spare tire or on a rear crossmember), but the process is similar.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most trucks and large SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade), it’s mounted to the frame rail on the driver’s side. On other models (Acadia, Traverse, Colorado), it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Press the release tab and pull straight out. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to its bracket.
- Inspect the Connector: Before plugging in your new module, closely inspect the vehicle’s wiring harness connector for any signs of green or white corrosion. Clean it thoroughly with a terminal contact cleaner if any is present. This is a critical step to ensure a good connection.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM and securely tighten the fasteners. Plug in the electrical connector until you hear it click.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10 seconds (without starting the engine) to allow the system to prime, then start your vehicle.
Expert Pro Tip from a 20-Year Tech: A common misdiagnosis for a P069E code is a bad fuel pump. Before you spend hundreds on a new pump assembly, check the FPCM. A simple test is to check for a steady voltage output at the module’s connector while the engine is running (or cranking). If the voltage is erratic or non-existent, but the input voltage is good, the FPCM is almost certainly the problem. This simple check has saved my customers thousands of dollars over the years.
