From the Diagnostic Bay
I remember a 2014 Impala that came into the shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the car still wouldn’t start. He was frustrated and out of money. His scanner showed a U0109 code—Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. We located the FPCM behind the right rear quarter panel trim, and a quick check with a test light showed it had power and ground but wasn’t sending any voltage to the new pump. The module had failed internally. We installed a pre-programmed module just like this one, and the car fired up on the first try. It’s a classic case where the FPCM is the root cause, not the pump itself.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), can cause a variety of confusing symptoms. Before you spend money on a new fuel pump, check if your vehicle is experiencing any of the following:
- ✔ Intermittent stalling or engine cutting out while driving
- ✔ Extended cranking time before the engine starts
- ✔ Complete no-start condition, even with a good battery
- ✔ Engine hesitation or stumbling under acceleration
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, U0109, P0230, or P025A
- ✔ A noticeable whining sound from the fuel pump area that is inconsistent
The Advantage of a Pre-Programmed Module
Modern vehicles rely on precise communication between modules. A new 2014 Caprice Fuel Pump Module requires specific software that matches your vehicle’s factory settings. Our professional service handles this for you. We use your VIN to load the correct, updated GM calibration onto the module before shipping. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box, saving you from the high costs and hassle of dealer-only programming tools like the MDI or Tech 2.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most compatible vehicles, the FPCM is located in the trunk area, often behind the right-hand side trim panel or inner quarter panel. Consult a service manual for your specific model if you’re unsure.
- ✔ Remove the Old Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s) from the old module. Then, unbolt it from its mounting location.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in the same position and securely fasten it. Reconnect the electrical harness.
- ✔ Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10-15 seconds to allow the system to prime before starting the engine. Your vehicle is ready to go!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN allows us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations specified by GM for your vehicle’s engine, transmission, and other options. This ensures seamless communication and proper fuel delivery.
Is this part really plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we handle the programming before shipment, you will not need any special tools or a trip to the dealership. Simply install it, and you’re ready to drive.
Where is the FPCM typically located?
On this range of GM vehicles, it’s almost always found in the rear of the car. Check behind the trim panels in the trunk or on the right-hand (passenger side) inner quarter panel.
Will this fix a check engine light for code P069E?
While we can’t guarantee a fix without a proper diagnosis, code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) is one of the most common codes indicating a failed FPCM. This part is the correct fix in the vast majority of cases.
What if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed module will not work. The vehicle’s main computer (PCM/ECM) will not be able to communicate with it, and the fuel pump will not operate correctly, if at all.
