Is your GMC Canyon or Colorado suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the frame, these modules are exposed to harsh conditions, leading to internal failure that starves your engine of fuel. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can be a serious safety issue when your truck loses power unexpectedly. We offer a direct, reliable solution: a replacement FPCM, part number 15213110, that arrives at your door pre-programmed and ready for installation.
Forget the expensive dealership visit and the hassle of scheduling a programming appointment. We handle the critical software flashing for you. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will load the latest, most stable GM-approved software onto your module. This ensures perfect communication between the FPCM, the ECM, and your fuel pump, restoring factory performance and efficiency. This is the definitive fix for a wide range of fuel delivery problems plaguing many GM trucks and SUVs.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I remember a 2009 GMC Canyon that came into my shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the truck would only run for a few seconds before sputtering out. He was frustrated and out of money. A quick scan showed a P069E code—Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. Instead of just throwing another part at it, we checked the FPCM connector for corrosion (it was clean) and tested power and ground. Everything checked out. The issue was internal to the original module. We installed one of our pre-programmed FPCMs, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. It’s a classic case where the FPCM mimics a bad fuel pump, and this simple swap saved the customer from more wasted time and money.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
- âś” Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, P0231, or U0109.
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start.
- âś” Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls.
- âś” Severe hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- âś” “Reduced Engine Power” message on the instrument cluster.
- âś” A noticeable whining sound from the fuel pump, or no sound at all.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIYers can handle in their own driveway. The module is typically mounted to the frame, making it accessible without dropping the fuel tank.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On the 2009 Canyon/Colorado, the FPCM is typically located on a rear frame crossmember. On larger trucks like the Silverado/Sierra, it’s on the left-hand (driver’s side) frame rail, often near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Be gentle with the locking tab, as old plastic can be brittle. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module until it clicks.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming required.
