Get Your Sierra Denali Running Right, Right Away
Is your 2013 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 cranking but not starting, stalling unexpectedly, or hesitating under acceleration? A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is one of the most common causes for these frustrating and concerning issues. Don’t let a small electronic component sideline your powerful truck. This is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore the reliable performance you depend on, programmed specifically for your vehicle before it even leaves our facility.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems, but it often triggers specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and symptoms. If you’re experiencing a check engine light with codes like P069E, P0230, or even a general loss of power, it’s time to inspect your module. This component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, and when it fails, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs. Our pre-programmed 2013 Sierra Denali 1500 Fuel Pump Control Module is the direct answer, eliminating guesswork and the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.

Expert Insight: Why Pre-Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners buy a new FPCM online, only to find their truck still won’t start after installation. The reason? It wasn’t programmed. Modern vehicles like your Sierra Denali have complex networks where components must be digitally ‘introduced’ to the main computer (ECU). Without this VIN-specific programming, the module is just a paperweight. Our service bridges that critical gap. We handle the complex electronic work, so you receive a part that is physically and digitally ready to get your truck back on the road with the reliability you expect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I absolutely have to provide my VIN?
Yes. This is the most critical step. Without your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), we cannot program the 2013 Sierra Denali 1500 Fuel Pump Control Module to communicate correctly with your truck’s computer. The part will not function without this specific programming.
Where is this module located on my truck?
On most GM trucks and SUVs from this era, including the Sierra 1500, the FPCM is typically mounted to the frame rail on the driver’s side, often near the spare tire. It’s exposed to the elements, which is a common reason for its failure.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical installation is straightforward. It usually involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connector, and removing a few bolts. The key benefit of our product is that the difficult programming part is already done for you.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
If you install a blank or unprogrammed module, your vehicle’s fuel pump will not activate. The engine will crank but will not start, and you will likely see new error codes related to a loss of communication with the FPCM.
Is this part compatible with part number 20964304?
Yes, this module, 20964305, is a compatible and updated replacement for the earlier part number 20964304. It will function correctly in all specified applications.
