Restore Your Vehicle’s Fuel System and Drivability
Is your 2014 Impala or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like engine stalling, hesitation on 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 regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and facing a confusing diagnosis.
Forget the expensive trip to the dealership and the hassle of scheduling a programming appointment. We offer a direct, reliable solution. This is a genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 22874300, that arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We flash it with the latest GM-certified software updates before it ships, making the installation process as simple as swapping the part. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install fix that restores performance and peace of mind.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls
- ✔ Severe hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Loss of engine power and poor performance
- ✔ Unexplained decrease in fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or P2635
From the Diagnostic Bay: A Common Pitfall
I remember a 2014 Cruze that came into my shop with a classic ‘crank, no start’ complaint. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, assuming it was the culprit, but the problem persisted. He was frustrated and out a few hundred dollars. When I hooked up my scanner, I saw code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF). Instead of just checking for power at the pump—which can be misleading—I went straight to the FPCM in the right rear quarter panel. A quick check showed power going into the module but nothing coming out. The module itself had failed internally. We installed a pre-programmed FPCM just like this one, and the car fired right up. It’s a reminder that diagnosing modern fuel systems requires looking beyond just the pump.
Why a Pre-Programmed 2014 Impala Fuel Pump Module is the Smart Choice
In modern GM vehicles, the FPCM is a ‘smart’ module that communicates with the Engine Control Module (ECM) and other vehicle systems. It cannot simply be swapped with a new one off the shelf. A blank module requires special tools and a subscription to GM’s software to program it to the car, a service dealers often charge hundreds for. Our process eliminates that entire step. By providing your VIN during checkout, you receive a module that is truly plug-and-play, saving you significant time and money whether you’re a professional mechanic or a DIY enthusiast.
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 the 2014 Impala and many other listed models, the FPCM is located in the trunk area, behind the trim panel on the right (passenger) side inner quarter panel.
- ✔ Remove the Old Module: Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket. It’s typically held in place by a couple of small bolts or nuts.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM onto the bracket and securely tighten the fasteners.
- ✔ Connect and Finalize: Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click into place. Reinstall any trim panels you removed and reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Start the Vehicle: Start the engine to confirm the repair. The vehicle should start and run smoothly, with the Check Engine Light off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this module need my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN is required so we can program the module with the exact software and calibrations specified by GM for your car’s unique configuration. This ensures perfect communication with other vehicle systems and proper fuel pump operation.
Is this part really plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we handle all the programming before shipping, you will not need any special tools or a trip to the dealer. Simply install the module, and you’re ready to go.
Where is the FPCM located on a 2014 Impala?
On the 2014 Chevrolet Impala (new body style), the Fuel Pump Control Module is located in the trunk, behind the carpeted trim on the passenger-side (RH) rear quarter panel.
Will this fix a Check Engine Light for code P069E?
Code P069E is one of the most common codes indicating a fault within the FPCM or its circuit. While proper diagnosis is always recommended, a faulty module is the most frequent cause, and replacing it with this pre-programmed unit often resolves the issue.
