Is your 2008-2009 GMC Savana 1500 Van or other GM truck experiencing frustrating and unpredictable stalling, hard starting, or a complete no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component, mounted on the frame rail, is exposed to harsh elements, leading to corrosion and internal failure. This results in erratic fuel pressure and leaves you stranded.
We offer a reliable, direct-fit solution. This is a genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 20850907, that comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. This isn’t just a part in a box; it’s a complete fix. By flashing it with the latest GM software before it ships, we eliminate the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. You get a component that is truly plug-and-play, restoring proper fuel delivery and engine performance right out of the box.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in a 2009 Silverado 1500 that would randomly stall at stoplights. The check engine light was on with code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF). He had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen this exact scenario dozens of times. The FPCM on these GM trucks is notorious for failing due to its location on the driver-side frame rail. After a quick inspection, I found the original module’s casing was corroded. We installed a VIN-programmed FPCM, and the truck has run flawlessly ever since. It’s a 15-minute fix that often gets misdiagnosed as a bad pump.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
If your vehicle is showing these symptoms, a faulty fuel pump module is a likely cause. A failing Savana 1500 Fuel Pump Module can mimic a bad fuel pump, so proper diagnosis is key.
- ✔ Engine stalls unexpectedly, especially at low speeds or idle.
- ✔ Vehicle cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ A “Service StabiliTrak” or “Service Traction Control” message may appear, as the FPCM communicates on the same data bus.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing your Savana 1500 Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. This pre-programmed module makes the process even simpler.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most compatible trucks and vans, the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector. Be gentle with the locking tab. Then, remove the two bolts or nuts holding the module to the frame.
- Clean the Area: Before installing the new module, clean the mounting surface on the frame to ensure a good ground connection, which is critical for proper operation.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Reconnect the electrical connector, ensuring it clicks securely.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming required.
