Restore Your Truck’s Power and Reliability
Is your truck stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? A failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), often called a fuel pump driver module, is one of the most common culprits on these GM vehicles. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that can leave you stranded. This module is the brain behind your fuel pump, regulating voltage to ensure your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, fuel delivery becomes erratic, leading to a host of performance issues. We offer a dependable, direct-fit solution with our FPCM, pre-programmed with the latest GM software specifically for your vehicle’s VIN.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Phantom No-Start
A 2009 GMC Sierra came into my bay with an intermittent no-start condition that was driving the owner crazy. It would be fine for weeks, then refuse to start. There were no consistent codes, just a U0109 (Lost Communication with FPCM) stored from a week prior. I checked fuel pressure, and it was zero during the no-start event. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump. The problem? The original FPCM, mounted on the frame rail, had its aluminum casing corroded from years of road salt and moisture. This corrosion allowed moisture inside, shorting the circuit board intermittently. Replacing it with a new, VIN-programmed module like this one permanently solved the phantom issue. This is why checking the module itself is a critical diagnostic step.
The Critical Importance of VIN Programming
Why do we require your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)? Unlike a simple relay, the FPCM is a smart module that communicates with your vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM) and Body Control Module (BCM). Each vehicle has specific fuel pressure requirements and software parameters. Installing a non-programmed module can result in persistent check engine lights, poor performance, or even a no-start condition right out of the box. Our process eliminates this risk. We flash this module with the newest GM-approved calibration for your exact VIN, making it a true plug-and-play part. You save a trip to the dealership and the $150+ fee they charge for programming alone.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when warm
- ✔ Severe hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
- ✔ A “Service Fuel System” message on the dash
Your Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Sierra or Tahoe, the FPCM is mounted on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On vehicles like the 2009 Canyon, it’s typically on a rear frame crossmember.
- ✔ Remove the Old Module: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle, as the clips can be brittle. Then, remove the bolts or nuts (usually 2 or 3) holding the module to the frame.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in the same location. It’s a good idea to clean the mounting surface and apply a bit of dielectric grease to the connector pins to prevent future corrosion.
- ✔ Connect and Finalize: Securely plug in the electrical connectors until they click. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Prime the System: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position (without starting) for 5-10 seconds a few times to allow the fuel pump to prime the system. Start your engine and check for proper operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM regulates the voltage sent to the electric fuel pump. Instead of running the pump at full speed all the time, this module adjusts its speed based on engine demand, which improves efficiency and pump longevity.
Why do you need my VIN to program it?
Every GM vehicle model has unique software and fuel trim requirements. Programming the module to your specific VIN ensures it communicates correctly with your vehicle’s computer, delivering the right fuel pressure and preventing compatibility issues or check engine lights.
Is this difficult to install for a DIYer?
Not at all. For most DIYers with basic hand tools, this is a 30-minute job. The module is typically easy to access on the vehicle’s frame, and since it comes pre-programmed, it’s a simple bolt-off, bolt-on process.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, a faulty FPCM is the most common cause of a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the definitive fix in most cases.
My old part has a different number on it. Will this still work?
Yes. GM frequently updates part numbers. This module, 25967325, is the compatible replacement for several older numbers, including 15213110, 20759945, and 25866052, among others listed above.
