Restore Your Truck’s Reliability and Performance
There’s nothing more frustrating than a truck that won’t start, stalls in traffic, or hesitates when you need power the most. These are classic signs that your Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), often called the Fuel Pump Driver Module, has failed. This essential component acts as the brain for your fuel pump, regulating voltage to ensure your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a safety concern. We offer a dependable, direct-fit solution with this FPCM, programmed specifically for your vehicle.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I remember a 2009 GMC Canyon that came into my shop with a frustrating intermittent stalling problem. The owner had already been told he needed a new in-tank fuel pump—a costly and labor-intensive job. He was hesitant, so he came to me for a second opinion. After hooking up the scan tool, I saw a P069E code, pointing to an issue in the FPCM circuit. Knowing these modules are mounted on the frame rail, exposed to water, salt, and debris, I went straight to it. Sure enough, the casing was swollen and the connectors were corroded. We swapped in a pre-programmed module just like this one, and the truck ran perfectly. A 15-minute fix saved him over a thousand dollars and a lot of unnecessary work. This is why checking the FPCM first is my go-to for these symptoms.
Is Your Truck Exhibiting These Fuel System Alarms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump, but it’s often a much easier and less expensive fix. Before you consider replacing the entire pump, check if your vehicle is showing these common symptoms:
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start
- âś” Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls
- âś” Stuttering or hesitation during acceleration
- âś” Loss of power, especially under load or going uphill
- âś” Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or P2635
- âś” “Reduced Engine Power” message on the instrument cluster
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
One of the biggest benefits of this 2009 Canyon Fuel Module is its simple, plug-and-play installation. Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, you won’t need a trip to the dealership for expensive flashing. You can do this right in your driveway.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On the 2009 Canyon and Colorado, the FPCM is typically mounted to the rear center frame crossmember, near the spare tire. On other GM trucks and SUVs, it’s usually on the left (driver’s side) frame rail.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as they can become brittle over time. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location. Secure it with the original hardware.
- Final Connections: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a click. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Start Your Engine: Your vehicle should now start and run smoothly. The repair is complete!

What is a Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM)?
What is a Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM)?
The FPCM, or fuel pump driver module, is a small computer that controls the voltage sent to your vehicle’s electric fuel pump. Instead of the pump running at full speed all the time, the FPCM adjusts its speed based on engine demand. This provides better fuel efficiency and prolongs the life of the fuel pump. When it fails, it can’t deliver the correct voltage, leading to stalling or no-start conditions.
Why do you need my VIN number?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is required so we can program the module with the latest, vehicle-specific software from GM. This ensures perfect communication between the FPCM and your vehicle’s main computer (ECU). This service saves you a trip to the dealer and avoids the extra cost of a programming service, making this a true plug-and-play solution.
Is this module difficult to install?
No, for most DIYers with basic tools, this is a very straightforward repair. The module is typically mounted on the vehicle’s frame and is accessible from underneath. Since our module comes pre-programmed, the job involves simply unbolting the old part, unplugging it, and installing the new one. No special electronic tools are needed.
What if I install this and my truck still won’t start?
While the FPCM is a very common point of failure for these symptoms, other parts in the fuel system can also be at fault, such as the in-tank fuel pump itself or a clogged fuel filter. We recommend confirming your diagnosis or consulting with a professional mechanic. However, replacing the FPCM is often the most logical and cost-effective first step in troubleshooting these specific issues.
Will this part fix a P069E code?
Yes, the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Performance) is one of the most common codes indicating a faulty FPCM. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for this code in the vast majority of cases.
