Restore Your Truck’s Power and Reliability
Is your GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado, or another GM truck experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a dreaded no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump—a costly and labor-intensive job—consider the component that controls it. This is a direct-fit Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), that arrives at your door fully programmed with the latest GM software. We flash it specifically to your vehicle’s VIN, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. This is the modern, efficient solution to a very common GM fuel system problem.
Over my 20 years in diagnostics, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners and even professional shops misdiagnose FPCM failure. The symptoms often perfectly mimic a weak fuel pump. This module regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump, adjusting fuel pressure based on engine demand. When it fails, the fuel pump can receive erratic voltage or no voltage at all, leading to the exact problems you’re likely facing. By replacing it with our pre-programmed unit, you’re not just swapping a part; you’re installing a reliable, updated component that restores the precise fuel delivery your engine needs to run smoothly and efficiently.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A 2009 GMC Canyon came into my shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the truck still wouldn’t start. He was frustrated and out a few hundred dollars. His scanner showed a U0109 code (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module). We checked the wiring and found it intact. The issue was the original FPCM, which had failed internally. It couldn’t command the brand-new pump to turn on. We installed a VIN-programmed module, and the truck fired right up. This scenario is incredibly common; always check the FPCM before tackling the fuel pump.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is a highly probable cause, especially if you have related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) like P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially at idle or low speeds
- ✔ Stuttering or hesitation during acceleration
- ✔ Noticeable loss of engine power
- ✔ Reduced fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light is illuminated
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2009 Canyon Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. The location can vary slightly by model, but on the Canyon/Colorado, it’s typically on a frame crossmember.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On many trucks like the Sierra/Silverado, it’s on the driver-side frame rail. On the Canyon/Colorado, it’s often on the rear center frame crossmember, near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s). Then, unbolt the module from the frame. These bolts can be rusty, so a little penetrating oil can help.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into the same location. Ensure it’s securely fastened.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new FPCM. You should hear or feel a click.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
We require your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to load the exact, correct GM factory software for your specific vehicle. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box, saving you a trip to the dealer for programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, for most individuals with basic mechanical skills, this is a straightforward installation. It’s typically held on by a few bolts and has one electrical connector. No special tools are needed.
What is the difference between an FPCM and a fuel pump?
The fuel pump is the mechanical pump inside your gas tank that moves fuel. The FPCM is the small computer, or module, that tells the fuel pump how fast to run. The FPCM often fails, but its symptoms make it seem like the pump is bad.
Will this fix a P069E or U0109 trouble code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) and U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module) are hallmark codes pointing directly to a failed FPCM. This part is the specific solution for those codes.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, inspected, and tested used OEM component that has been programmed with the latest software updates from GM. It provides OEM performance and reliability at a significant savings over a new part from the dealer.
