Restore Your Truck’s Reliability with a Plug-and-Play Solution
There’s nothing more frustrating than a truck that won’t start, stalls unexpectedly, or hesitates when you need power the most. If your 2009 Chevrolet Colorado is giving you fuel delivery headaches, the culprit is often not the fuel pump itself, but this small, yet critical, component: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This module is the brain behind your fuel pump, telling it exactly how much pressure to deliver for optimal performance and efficiency. When it fails, it can leave you stranded.
We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the repair. This genuine GM module, part number 20850907, arrives at your door fully programmed with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This means no expensive trip to the dealer for programming is required. It’s a true plug-and-play fix designed to get you back on the road with confidence.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Misleading Fuel Pump
I remember a 2009 Sierra that 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. His scanner showed a P069E code, which points to a fault in the FPCM circuit. He was convinced the new pump was bad. We checked the wiring and found it was perfect. The issue was the original FPCM, which had failed internally. It wasn’t commanding the new pump to turn on. We installed a VIN-programmed module, and the truck fired right up. This happens all the time; the FPCM is a common failure point that is often overlooked, leading to wasted time and money on unnecessary parts.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump. Before you spend hours dropping the fuel tank, check if you’re experiencing these common signs of a bad 2009 Colorado Fuel Module:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when warm
- ✔ Severe hesitation or power loss during acceleration
- ✔ Rough idle or inconsistent engine performance
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
One of the biggest benefits of this module is its simple installation, which most DIYers can complete in under 30 minutes. Since we handle the programming, you just need basic hand tools. For the 2009 Colorado, the module is located on the rear center frame crossmember.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the FPCM mounted to the frame. On your Colorado or Canyon, it’s typically on the rear crossmember, easily accessible from underneath.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to its bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock in place.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is successful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is required to load the exact, correct GM software for your truck’s specific configuration. This ensures perfect compatibility and function, eliminating the need for a dealership visit.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
Not at all. For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a simple bolt-off, bolt-on repair. Since the programming is done, it’s a true plug-and-play installation that typically takes less than 30 minutes.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
Yes, in most cases. The DTC P069E specifically points to a performance or communication issue with the Fuel Pump Control Module. Replacing a faulty FPCM with our pre-programmed unit is the direct fix for this code.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed FPCM will not work. The vehicle’s main computer (ECU) will not recognize it, and it will not be able to command the fuel pump. This is why our pre-programming service is essential for a successful repair.
Where do I provide my VIN after purchase?
After you complete your purchase, please send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information to program your module correctly.
