Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re experiencing frustrating issues like your engine cutting out, sputtering under acceleration, or a complete no-start condition, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. This critical component, often called a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), acts as the brain for your vehicle’s fuel pump. It precisely regulates the voltage sent to the pump, ensuring your engine receives the exact amount of fuel it needs under all driving conditions. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and trigger a persistent Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or P025A.

This Fuel Pump Control Module is the definitive solution, arriving at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We flash the module with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This not only restores original functionality but also corrects potential flaws present in the original factory software, providing a more reliable and lasting repair. Simply provide your VIN at checkout, and we handle the complex part, so you receive a component that is truly ready for installation right out of the box.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Silverado 1500 in the shop that was a real head-scratcher for the owner. He was getting a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Performance) and the truck would intermittently stall. He’d already replaced the in-tank fuel pump twice, assuming it was the problem. The issue is that on these trucks, the FPCM is mounted to the frame rail, exposed to water, salt, and road debris. We pulled the original module and found the casing was corroded, allowing moisture to damage the internal circuit board. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, cleared the codes, and the truck has run flawlessly ever since. It’s a classic case of a small electronic part causing a huge mechanical headache.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine stalling unexpectedly, especially while driving or under load.
- ✔ Vehicle cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Illumination of the Check Engine Light with fuel system-related DTCs.
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor performance.
- ✔ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings.
- ✔ A complete loss of communication with the module, verifiable with a scan tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this module to a dealer for programming?
No. The main benefit of this part is that we program it for you before it ships. It is flashed with the latest GM software using the VIN you provide, making it a true plug-and-play installation.
Where is the FPCM located on my truck?
On most GM trucks and full-size SUVs from this era (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade), the module is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, typically above the spare tire. Always consult a repair manual for your specific vehicle to confirm the location.
What information do you need from me to program the module?
After you complete your purchase, we will need your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures we load the exact correct software for your truck or SUV’s specific configuration.
Will this fix a P069E code?
A failed FPCM is the most common cause of a P069E trouble code. While other issues like wiring problems or the fuel pump itself can be at fault, replacing a faulty FPCM with this pre-programmed unit is the definitive fix in the vast majority of cases.
Is this part compatible with my vehicle?
This module fits a wide range of GM vehicles as listed in the fitment guide. The best way to ensure 100% compatibility is to match one of the part numbers listed (e.g., 13501024) and provide us with your VIN for programming.
