Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Sputtering, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine hesitation, a sudden loss of power, or a vehicle that cranks but won’t start, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common culprit. Many 2008-2009 GM vehicles experience these issues, often accompanied by a Check Engine Light and diagnostic trouble codes like P069E. Don’t let a small electronic module leave you stranded. This is the reliable, straightforward fix you’ve been looking for.
The Smart Solution: A Module Programmed Specifically for Your Vehicle
Forget about expensive dealership visits and towing fees. We solve the biggest headache of replacing an FPCM: the programming. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during checkout, and we will program this module with the latest official GM software updates before it even leaves our facility. It arrives at your door ready for a direct, plug-and-play installation, restoring your vehicle’s performance and dependability right out of the box.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
“Just last month, a 2008 Silverado 1500 was towed in with a classic ‘crank, no start’ condition. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan showed code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Off). I went straight to the FPCM, mounted on the driver-side frame rail. As expected, years of exposure to road salt and moisture had completely corroded the housing and connectors. This is a failure I’ve diagnosed hundreds of times. We installed a new, VIN-programmed module, and the truck fired right up. Itโs a 20-minute fix that solves a major headache.”

Plug-and-Play Installation: Get Back on the Road Fast
Replacing your GM Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Since it arrives pre-programmed, you skip the hardest part of the job.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Old Module: On most trucks and SUVs, the FPCM is mounted on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other models (like the Traverse or Vue), it may be on a rear crossmember or in the engine compartment. Check your specific model’s location.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Use a small screwdriver to release the locking tabs if necessary. Then, unbolt the module from the frame.
- Prepare for Installation: Before installing the new module, it’s crucial to clean the electrical connector terminals on the vehicle’s wiring harness with a quality electronics cleaner to ensure a perfect connection.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, programmed module into place and securely plug in the connectors until they click.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and verify that it runs smoothly and the Check Engine Light is off.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How do I provide my VIN for programming?
- A: After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we receive and program it with your VIN.
- Q: What happens if I install it without programming?
- A: An unprogrammed FPCM will not communicate correctly with your vehicle’s other computers. This will almost certainly result in a no-start condition and set communication error codes.
- Q: Is this part the same as a fuel pump driver module?
- A: Yes, the terms Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), and Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) are often used interchangeably for this component.
- Q: How do I know if my old FPCM is truly bad?
- A: Common signs include stalling, a ‘Reduced Engine Power’ message, and fuel-related trouble codes (P069E, P0230, U0109). A visual inspection often reveals corrosion on the module’s aluminum housing, which is a tell-tale sign of internal failure.
- Q: Will this fix my P069E code?
- A: Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FPCM is the root cause of a P069E trouble code. Replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the definitive repair for that issue.
