Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your Chevrolet Orlando or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation during acceleration, or a dreaded crank-no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it falters, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs, leading to poor performance and leaving you stranded. Don’t let a small electronic module compromise your vehicle’s dependability.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We take the guesswork and extra cost out of the repair by pre-programming this 2013 Orlando Fuel Pump Module with the very latest GM software updates. All we need is your vehicle’s VIN at checkout. This ensures perfect communication with your car’s computer systems right out of the box, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It’s the smart, efficient way to get your car back on the road.
From the Diagnostic Bay: A Common GM Fuel Fault
Just last week, a 2013 Chevy Cruze came into my shop with a complaint of intermittent stalling at red lights and a Check Engine Light. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan revealed DTC P069E – “Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination.” This code points directly at the FPCM. These modules are known to fail from heat and vibration, causing erratic fuel pressure. We installed one of our VIN-programmed modules, and the car ran perfectly. The pre-flashed software ensures these known issues are addressed, preventing a comeback.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially when the engine is warm or under load
- ✔ Severe hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, U0109, or P0230
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2013 Orlando Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Because we program it for you, there are no special electronic tools required.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On most compatible vehicles, including the Orlando, the FPCM is located inside the vehicle, behind the right-hand (passenger side) rear quarter panel trim. You may need to remove some plastic trim panels to access it.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s) from the old module. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting point. It’s typically held in place by one or two small bolts or nuts.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Reconnect the electrical connector(s), ensuring they click securely into place.
- Final Steps: Re-install any trim panels you removed and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and allow it to idle for a few minutes to confirm the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM regulates the voltage and speed of your vehicle’s fuel pump. Unlike older systems that run the pump at full speed all the time, the FPCM adjusts fuel flow based on engine demand. This improves efficiency and prolongs the life of the fuel pump.
Do I really need to provide my VIN?
Yes, providing your 17-digit VIN is essential. We use it to load the exact, most current GM software calibration for your specific vehicle. This step is what makes the module a true plug-and-play part and ensures it functions correctly without a dealer visit.
Is this module difficult to install?
For most individuals with basic mechanical skills, this is a straightforward repair. The primary challenge is accessing the module behind the interior trim panels. Since we handle all the programming, no special computer equipment is needed for the installation itself.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the DTC P069E is one of the most common codes indicating a fault within the Fuel Pump Control Module itself. Replacing a faulty FPCM with this pre-programmed unit is the correct and definitive repair for this code.
Is this part compatible with part number 22874300?
Absolutely. This module, 22874299, is a fully compatible and interchangeable replacement for part number 22874300. We ensure it is programmed correctly for your vehicle regardless of which original part number you have.
