Is Your 2009 Colorado Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine performance issues in your truck, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is one of the most common culprits. I’ve seen it in my shop countless times: a truck comes in with a ‘Reduced Engine Power’ light, intermittent stalling, or a complete no-start condition. Often, the owner has already spent money on a new fuel pump, only to find the problem persists. The real issue is frequently this small but critical module, which controls the voltage sent to your fuel pump.
A Real-World Scenario: “Just last week, a 2009 Chevy Colorado was towed in. The owner was at his wit’s end. The truck would crank but not fire. He suspected the fuel pump, but a quick diagnostic scan told the real story: code U0109, ‘Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module.’ On the Colorado, this module is mounted to the rear center frame, exposed to years of road salt, water, and vibration. We swapped in a new FPCM, and the truck fired right up. It’s a repair I’ve performed on hundreds of GM trucks and SUVs, and it’s almost always a permanent fix for these symptoms.”
The Simple, Dealer-Free Solution for Your 2009 Colorado FPCM
Don’t waste time and money at the dealership. This Fuel Pump Control Module arrives at your door completely programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We flash it with the latest GM software updates before it ships, so it’s ready for a true plug-and-play installation. You get a reliable part that restores factory performance without the high cost and hassle of a dealer visit for programming.
Symptoms of a Failing FPCM:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when warm
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ ‘Reduced Engine Power’ message on the dash
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
Plug-and-Play Installation: Get Your Truck Running in Under an Hour
Replacing the FPCM is a straightforward job you can do with basic hand tools. Here’s a general guide for a 2009 Colorado:
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the FPCM mounted to the rear center frame crossmember, near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Reconnect the electrical harness, ensuring it clicks securely.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10-15 seconds before starting the engine to allow the system to initialize. Your truck should now start and run smoothly.
Expert Pro Tip: Prevent Future Problems
Before plugging in your new FPCM, take a moment to inspect the vehicle’s wiring harness connector. These frame-mounted modules are highly susceptible to moisture intrusion. Look for any signs of green or white corrosion on the pins. If you see any, use a small pick and a dedicated electronics cleaner to gently clean the terminals. A dab of dielectric grease inside the connector before plugging it in provides an excellent barrier against future moisture damage, extending the life of your new part.
