Restore Your Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2009 Chevrolet Colorado or other GM truck suffering from frustrating and unpredictable fuel issues? Symptoms like engine hesitation, sudden stalling, a crank-no-start condition, or a persistent Check Engine Light can often be traced back to a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs under all driving conditions. When it fails, it can leave you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a safety concern.
We offer a dependable and straightforward solution. This FPCM is a direct-fit replacement, but with one crucial advantage: it arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software, specifically flashed to your vehicle’s VIN. This eliminates the need for an expensive and time-consuming trip to the dealership for programming. You get a reliable part that’s ready for installation right out of the box, solving the root cause of your fuel delivery problems and getting you back on the road with confidence.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent Stall
I once had a 2008 Sierra 1500 in my bay that was a real head-scratcher. The owner complained of intermittent stalling, mostly at low speeds, but no consistent Check Engine Light. He’d already replaced the fuel pump itself, with no change. Fuel pressure readings were all over the place. On a hunch, I focused on the FPCM. These modules, often mounted on the frame rail, are exposed to years of moisture, salt, and vibration, leading to internal corrosion and erratic behavior. After swapping in a new, correctly programmed module, the fuel pressure stabilized immediately. The truck ran perfectly. It’s a classic case where the supporting electronics, not the main component, are the culprit. This is why a quality, properly programmed 2009 Colorado Fuel Pump Module is so critical.
Is Your Truck Exhibiting These Fuel-Related Issues?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially during acceleration or at idle
- ✔ Severe engine hesitation or sputtering
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor performance
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module), P069E, or P0230.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. For the 2009 Colorado, it’s typically located on a frame crossmember near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most trucks and SUVs, it’s mounted to the driver’s side frame rail or a rear crossmember. It’s a small, black box with electrical connectors.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, unbolt the module from the frame. These bolts can sometimes be rusty, so a little penetrating oil can help.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a click as they seat.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is required so we can load the correct, vehicle-specific software from GM onto the module. This ensures perfect communication with your truck’s computer systems and proper fuel pump operation, making the installation truly plug-and-play.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, this is a very DIY-friendly repair. The module is typically held on by two or three bolts on the vehicle’s frame and has simple plug-in electrical connectors. No special tools are needed.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FPCM is the direct cause of a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). Replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the correct fix.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed module will not work. The vehicle’s main computer (ECM/PCM) will not be able to communicate with it, resulting in a no-start condition. Our pre-programming service saves you from this problem.
Is this compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module, 20850907, is a direct replacement for several other GM part numbers, including 13501024, 20759945, 25854536, and others listed in the description. It is the correct service replacement for all of them.
