Restore Your GM’s Fuel System Performance and Reliability
Is your 2008-2009 Savana 1500 Van, or another compatible GM truck/SUV, suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), often called a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is a very common culprit. These modules, typically mounted on the frame rail, are exposed to harsh elements, leading to internal corrosion and failure. This leaves you stranded and dealing with frustrating diagnostic codes. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that compromises your vehicle’s reliability.
We offer a dependable and straightforward solution. This FPCM, part number 20759945, is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of GM vehicles. More importantly, we take the hassle and expense out of the repair. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will program the module with the latest GM-certified software specifically for your vehicle. It arrives at your door ready for a simple, plug-and-play installation, saving you a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Misleading Fuel Pump
I had a 2008 Silverado in the bay once with a classic no-start condition. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the truck still wouldn’t fire up. He was convinced he got a bad pump. When I scanned it, I found code P069E – ‘Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF.’ The PCM wasn’t seeing the correct feedback from the FPCM. Instead of throwing parts at it, we checked the module on the frame rail. It was caked in mud and road salt. After swapping in a programmed FPCM, the truck started instantly. It’s a textbook example of why diagnosing the *entire* fuel delivery circuit, especially the 2008-2009 Savana 1500 FPCM and its counterparts, is crucial before condemning the pump itself.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving, especially under load.
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and a ‘Service Fuel System’ message on the dash.
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored, such as P069E, P0230, or U0109 (Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module).
- ✔ A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump that is inconsistent.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. The key is its location, which is typically on the driver-side frame rail near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM mounted to the vehicle’s frame. On most trucks and vans, it’s on the left (driver’s side) rail. On some crossovers, it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector(s). Be sure to press the locking tab to avoid damage. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the module to the frame.
- Clean the Mounting Surface: Use a wire brush to clean any rust or debris from the frame where the new module will sit. A clean ground connection is vital.
- Install the New FPCM: Bolt the new, pre-programmed 2008-2009 Savana 1500 FPCM into place. Do not overtighten the fasteners.
- Reconnect and Finalize: Securely plug in the electrical connector until it clicks. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN is required to load the correct, vehicle-specific software from GM, ensuring the part works perfectly with your truck or van.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, it requires no additional setup or dealer visit. Simply install it, connect the battery, and your vehicle is ready to go.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Savana Van?
On the 2008-2009 Savana 1500, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted on the outside of the left (driver’s side) frame rail, often near the spare tire area.
Will this fix a P069E code?
A faulty FPCM is the most common cause of a P069E trouble code. While you should always perform a complete diagnosis, replacing a failed module is the standard repair for this code.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, tested replacement part that has been programmed with the latest software updates to ensure peak performance and reliability, addressing common factory issues.
