Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2014 Camaro, Cruze, or other compatible GM vehicle suffering from frustrating issues like engine stalling, hesitation during acceleration, or a complete 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, ensuring your engine receives the exact amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and facing a confusing diagnosis.
Over my 20+ years in automotive diagnostics, I’ve seen countless vehicles come into the bay with these exact symptoms. The FPCM is often the culprit, but simply replacing it with a new one isn’t enough. A new module is essentially a blank slate and requires expensive programming at a dealership. We eliminate that step entirely. This module, part number 22874299, arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This is not just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall Case
I remember a 2014 Camaro 3.6L that came in with a problem that was driving the owner crazy: it would randomly stall at stoplights, but not every time. There were no consistent codes at first, just a history log of a U0109 (Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module) and a P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). After checking wiring and fuel pressure, which seemed fine at idle in the shop, we monitored the FPCM data stream on a long test drive. We saw the module’s commanded voltage drop out sporadically, starving the engine of fuel just long enough to cause a stall. A new, pre-programmed module fixed it permanently. This highlights why addressing FPCM issues promptly with a properly flashed part is key to a lasting repair.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty fuel pump module could be the cause. A failing module can often trigger diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that a professional scan tool can read.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially when coming to a stop or under load
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor performance
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel gauge readings
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2014 Camaro Fuel Pump Module is a manageable job for a confident DIYer. The module is typically located in the trunk or behind a rear quarter panel trim piece.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On most models like the Camaro, Impala, or XTS, you’ll need to access the trunk area and remove the right-hand side trim panel or liner to expose the module.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket. It’s usually held in place by a couple of small nuts or bolts.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into place.
- Reassemble and Reconnect: Reinstall any trim panels you removed. Finally, reconnect the negative battery terminal. Your installation is complete, with no programming required.

Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential for us to load the exact, correct GM-certified software for your vehicle’s specific configuration (engine, transmission, options). This ensures perfect communication between the new module and your car’s computer systems, preventing compatibility issues.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes! Because we program the module to your VIN before shipping, it is a true plug-and-play solution. You can install it yourself or have your mechanic install it without needing a trip to the dealership for expensive programming.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed module will not work correctly. Your vehicle will likely not start, or it will run very poorly and display a Check Engine Light. The module must be programmed to communicate with the other computers on your vehicle.
Where is this module located on my 2014 Camaro?
On the 2014 Camaro, the Fuel Pump Control Module is located in the trunk, behind the trim panel on the right-hand (passenger) side, near the quarter panel.
Will this fix a P069E code?
A P069E code indicates a performance issue or fault request from the Fuel Pump Control Module itself. While you should always perform a full diagnosis, a failing FPCM is the most common cause of this code, and replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the definitive repair in most cases.
