Restore Your HUMMER’s Power and Reliability
Is your 2008-2009 HUMMER H2 experiencing frustrating and potentially dangerous issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a dreaded no-start condition? Before you suspect the fuel pump itself, the problem often lies with a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded. This module is your direct-fit, reliable solution, pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN for a true plug-and-play installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Hidden Cause of No-Start Issues
I’ll never forget a 2008 Sierra 1500 (which uses the same FPCM as the H2) that came into my shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the truck still wouldn’t start. He was frustrated and out of money. After a quick scan, I saw code U0109 – Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. I went straight to the FPCM, mounted on the driver-side frame rail. Just as I suspected, years of exposure to road salt and moisture had corroded the housing and pins. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up. It’s a classic failure I’ve seen hundreds of times on these GM trucks and SUVs.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Signs of FPCM Failure?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution. Look out for:
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start
- âś” Intermittent stalling, especially during wet or humid conditions
- âś” “Reduced Engine Power” message on the dashboard
- âś” Hesitation or sputtering when you press the gas pedal
- âś” A Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, P025A, or U0109
The Power of Pre-Programmed Convenience
The biggest challenge with replacing an FPCM is that a new module from the dealership is just a blank box. It requires a trip to a mechanic with an expensive GM Tech 2 or MDI scan tool for programming, adding hundreds of dollars and significant downtime to your repair. We eliminate that step entirely. By providing us with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at checkout, we will flash this module with the latest, most stable GM-approved software specifically for your 2008-2009 HUMMER H2 FPCM. When it arrives at your door, it’s ready for immediate installation, saving you time, money, and frustration.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. On the HUMMER H2, it’s typically located on the outside of the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM on the driver-side frame rail. It’s a small, black plastic box with electrical connectors.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. You may need a small flathead screwdriver to release the locking tabs. Then, unbolt the module from the frame. These bolts can be rusty, so some penetrating oil might be helpful.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location. Ensure it’s securely fastened.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a click as they lock into place.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start your vehicle to confirm the repair is successful. The engine should start and run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) do?
The FPCM acts as a smart relay for your fuel pump. It receives commands from the Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely controls the voltage and speed of the fuel pump to deliver the exact amount of fuel the engine needs for optimal performance and efficiency.
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN allows us to program the module with the specific software and calibrations for your HUMMER H2’s engine, transmission, and other options. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box, eliminating the need for expensive dealer programming.
Is this installation difficult for a DIYer?
Not at all. For most owners with basic hand tools, this is a straightforward repair that takes less than an hour. The module is typically easy to access on the vehicle’s frame rail. Our pre-programming makes it a simple bolt-on, plug-in job.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed FPCM will not work. The vehicle will not recognize the module, and the fuel pump will not activate, resulting in a no-start condition. Our service handles this critical step for you before we ship.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On) is one of the most common codes indicating a faulty FPCM. Replacing the failed module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct and reliable fix.
