Restore Power and Reliability to Your GM Truck or SUV
Is your truck experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, a long crank time, or a complete no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the culprit is often its electronic brain: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This module is a critical component responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can leave you stranded without warning. This is the direct-fit, professionally programmed solution for your vehicle.
We offer a genuine OE-spec 2009 Colorado Fuel Pump Module that arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates. All we need is your vehicle’s VIN at checkout. This vital step ensures perfect communication between the module and your truck’s other computer systems, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It’s a true plug-and-play fix designed to get you back on the road quickly and confidently.
A Technician’s Notebook
I had a 2008 Silverado 1500 in the bay last month with a classic ‘crank-no-start’ complaint. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan showed DTC P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. Instead of guessing, I hooked up my scan tool and monitored the ‘Fuel Pump Command’ vs. ‘Actual Fuel Rail Pressure’. The computer was commanding 70 PSI, but the pressure was erratic and dropping to zero. This told me the pump was capable, but the FPCM wasn’t delivering consistent power. A new, programmed module fixed it in 15 minutes. It’s a common failure point I’ve seen hundreds of times on these GM platforms.
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 the likely solution.
- ✔ Vehicle cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Stalling or sputtering, especially under load or when coming to a stop.
- ✔ Engine hesitation or loss of power during acceleration.
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ A “Service Fuel System” message appearing on the driver information center.
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings on a mechanical gauge or scan tool.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. On many GM trucks and SUVs, the module is located on a frame rail or crossmember, making access relatively simple.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On the 2009 Colorado/Canyon, the FPCM is typically found on the rear center frame crossmember. On most full-size trucks/SUVs (Silverado, Tahoe, etc.), it’s on the left-hand (driver’s side) frame rail, often near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s). Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and tighten the fasteners.
- Reconnect and Test: Plug the electrical connector(s) back in securely. Reconnect the battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to prime the system before starting the engine.

Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential for us to load the correct, vehicle-specific software from GM. This ensures the module communicates properly with your truck’s engine computer (ECM) and other systems, guaranteeing correct fuel pressure and performance without any additional programming required.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, this is a great DIY-friendly repair. The module is typically mounted to the vehicle’s frame with just a couple of bolts and has a single electrical connector. Basic hand tools are all that’s needed for the swap.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed module will not work correctly. It may prevent the vehicle from starting or cause severe performance issues and trigger a check engine light. Our pre-programming service eliminates this problem entirely.
Is this module the same as a fuel pump driver module?
Yes, Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), and Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) are different names for the same component. It serves the function of controlling the fuel pump’s operation.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, the diagnostic trouble code P069E is one of the most common indicators of a failed Fuel Pump Control Module. Replacing a faulty FPCM with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for that code.
