Is your Chevrolet Colorado or GM truck suffering from frustrating fuel delivery problems? Stalling at stoplights, long crank times, or a complete no-start condition can often be traced back to a single, critical component: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a fuel pump driver module. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue that can leave you stranded. I’ve seen it countless times in my shop—a perfectly good fuel pump gets blamed when the real culprit is this electronic module failing to send the right voltage.
This is the definitive solution. We are offering a genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 20759945, that comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). By flashing it with the latest GM software updates before it even leaves our facility, we eliminate the most expensive and time-consuming part of the repair. You get a part that is truly plug-and-play, saving you a trip to the dealership and their high programming fees. Restore your vehicle’s performance and your peace of mind with a component designed for a precise fit and reliable operation.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2009 GMC Canyon (the Colorado’s twin) that came in on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself but was still dealing with an intermittent no-start. He was frustrated and out of ideas. On the scan tool, I saw a tell-tale code: P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF. We checked the wiring and it was fine. The issue was the original FPCM, which was failing internally under certain conditions. Instead of sending him to the dealer for a new module and a costly programming session, we installed one of our pre-programmed units. The truck fired up instantly and ran perfectly. This is a classic failure on these platforms, and a pre-flashed module is the most efficient fix for both pros and DIYers.
Key Signs of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when coming to a stop
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor performance
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On the 2009 Colorado/Canyon, the FPCM is typically mounted to a crossmember on the frame, near the spare tire. On other GM trucks and SUVs, it’s often on the driver-side frame rail.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s) from the old module. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding it to the frame. The module may be corroded, so some penetrating oil might be helpful.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location. Ensure it is securely mounted.
- ✔ Reconnect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connector(s) firmly into the new module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Your installation is complete, with no programming required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this part really plug-and-play?
Yes. We program the module to the VIN you provide before shipping. This means it arrives ready for installation without needing any additional programming from a dealer or specialized shop.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we receive this information for programming.
What does the Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM regulates the voltage sent to your vehicle’s fuel pump. Instead of running the pump at full speed all the time, this module adjusts its speed based on engine demand, which improves efficiency and pump longevity. When it fails, it can’t supply the correct voltage, leading to fuel starvation.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
In many cases, yes. The DTC P069E is a very common indicator of a failing FPCM. While you should always confirm wiring and connections are good, a faulty module is the most frequent cause of this code.
Where is this module located on my 2009 Colorado?
For the 2009 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, the FPCM is typically found mounted on the rear center frame crossmember, often near the spare tire. Always confirm the location on your specific vehicle before beginning work.
