Restore Your Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your truck stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a fuel pump driver module, is one of the most common culprits on these GM vehicles. Located on the frame, the original module is constantly exposed to moisture, salt, and road debris, leading to corrosion and eventual failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that can leave you stranded. This module is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed with the latest GM software specifically for your vehicle’s VIN.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Ghost of an Intermittent Stall
I remember a 2008 Silverado that came into my shop with a problem that was driving the owner crazy. It would run perfectly for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight and refuse to restart for 10-15 minutes. No consistent check engine light, just a random, frustrating failure. After checking fuel pressure, which was erratic, we put it on the lift. The FPCM, mounted on the driver-side frame rail, looked fine at a glance, but once we unbolted it, the back was a mess of white, chalky corrosion. The weather-pack connector’s seal had failed, allowing water to slowly destroy the circuit board. This is a story I’ve seen play out hundreds of times. Replacing it with a VIN-programmed module like this one is the only correct, long-term fix.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, especially when warm or at idle
- ✔ Reduced engine power or hesitation during acceleration
- ✔ A “Service Engine Soon” or Check Engine Light is illuminated
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored, such as P069E, P0230, or P0627
- ✔ A loud, constant whining from the fuel pump
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing your 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Control Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. The key is locating the old module, which varies slightly by vehicle model.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Sierra, Silverado, and Tahoe, you’ll find the FPCM mounted to the frame, typically on the driver’s side above the spare tire. On models like the Canyon, Colorado, or Traverse, it’s often on a rear crossmember.
- Remove the Old Module: Unplug the electrical connector. Be gentle, as the plastic can become brittle. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. It’s a good practice to apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the connector pins to protect against future corrosion.
- Connect and Test: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module. Reconnect the battery terminal, turn the key to the ‘on’ position for a few seconds to let the fuel pump prime, and then start your engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN is essential for us to program the module with the correct, vehicle-specific GM software. This ensures perfect compatibility and function, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
What does the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) do?
The FPCM regulates the voltage sent to your vehicle’s fuel pump. Instead of running the pump at full speed all the time, this module adjusts its speed based on engine demand, which improves efficiency and the lifespan of the pump.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
For most individuals with basic mechanical skills, this is a straightforward replacement. It typically involves unbolting the old module from the frame and plugging in the new one. Since our module comes pre-programmed, no special electronic tools are needed.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is a very common code indicating a fault within the FPCM itself. Replacing the module is the standard and effective repair for this code.
How is this different from a generic part at a local store?
The crucial difference is the programming. A generic, off-the-shelf part is not programmed and will not work correctly when installed. It would still require a tow to a shop with expensive scan tools for programming. Our module is a complete, ready-to-install solution.
