Restore Your Truck’s Power and Reliability
Is your 2009 GMC Canyon or other GM truck experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, engine hesitation, or a complete no-start condition? A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is one of the most common culprits. Located on the frame rail or crossmember, these modules are exposed to harsh road conditions, leading to corrosion and internal failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that can leave you stranded. This module is the definitive, reliable solution to get your vehicle running smoothly again.
We take the guesswork and dealer hassle out of the repair. Unlike a blank module that requires expensive programming tools, this 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Control Module arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and our experts will flash the module specifically for your truck. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s computer system and restores factory performance right out of the box.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Hidden Cause of No-Start
I had a 2009 Sierra 1500 towed into the bay last month. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the obvious fix for his crank-no-start issue. When it didn’t solve the problem, he was frustrated and out several hundred dollars. A quick scan showed DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Off). I went straight to the FPCM on the driver-side frame rail. It was caked in dirt and the aluminum casing was heavily corroded. After confirming power and ground, it was clear the module itself had failed internally. We installed a VIN-programmed module, and the truck fired up on the first try. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the control side first saves time and money.
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 poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light (CEL) is on with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, P0606, or U0109.
- ✔ A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump area, or no noise at all.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Control Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. The key is locating the module, which for the Canyon is typically on the rear center frame crossmember.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: Find the FPCM mounted to the vehicle’s frame. On many GM trucks and SUVs, it’s on the driver-side frame rail, but on the Canyon/Colorado, it’s often on a rear crossmember. It’s a small silver box with an electrical connector.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. You may need to press a release tab. Then, remove the bolts or nuts (usually 2) holding the module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount the new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware. Reconnect the electrical connector, ensuring it clicks into place.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10-15 seconds (without starting) to allow the fuel system to prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle is ready to go!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is essential because it allows us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations for your specific vehicle’s configuration. This ensures seamless communication and proper function, eliminating the need for a dealer visit.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes! Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, it is a true plug-and-play solution. Simply install it, and you’re ready to drive. No additional programming or calibration is required.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 GMC Canyon?
On the 2009 GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted on the rear center frame crossmember, near the spare tire.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed module will not work. The vehicle’s main computer (ECM/PCM) will not be able to communicate with it, and the fuel pump will not activate. Your vehicle will still fail to start, and you will need specialized tools to program it.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, a faulty FPCM is the most common cause of a P069E trouble code. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for that specific fault in most cases, provided the wiring is intact.
