It can be a stand-alone module or a computer integrated into the PCM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the FPCM is a stand alone module. Some fuel pump motors on late model vehicles are brushless three-phase DC motors that require a special module just for the pump to run. But fuel pump control modules tend to work under the command structure of the PCM to control fuel pressure being delivered from the in-tank pump in response to feedback from a pressure sensor. The more pressure that is required for the engine to do its work, the more current the FPCM is commanded to deliver to the pump. Typically, these modules don&rsquo;t give much trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever the ignition is switched on and the PCM is activated, modules like the FPCM perform self-tests to ensure that they are working properly. The tests also allow the PCM to track the serial data that is transmitted over the data network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The error code P069E is logged when the FPCM perceives problems with the fuel pump control system.

Meanwhile, returnless systems typically use a stand-alone fuel control module to modulate the pump&rsquo;s speed to control fuel pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Returnless systems have an advantage over the older systems in terms of the reduction of evaporative emissions because the fuel is subject to less agitation and heating. The P069E code affects these electronic returnless fuel systems in that most of the root issues are more likely to affect emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, codes related to the fuel pump control module, like the engine code P069E, should always be addressed immediately. They can cause a number of drivability issues as well as a no-start condition if left unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"perspective-widget\">\n        <div class=\"pt-child-wrap\">\n\n            <div class=\"pt-col-item1\">\n                <figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/dpr_auto,f_auto,q_auto\/carparts\/blog\/plugins\/amp\/avatar-comments\" class=\"com-thumb\" alt=\"Avatar of CarParts.com Research Team\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\">\n                <\/figure>\n                <p>\n                    <strong>Tom Seekamp<\/strong> \n                    <span>User<\/span>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"pt-col-item2\">\n                <div class=\"protip-desc\">\n                    <div class=\"perspective-help-tip\">   \n                        <p>There&rsquo;s more than one way to look at an issue. &ldquo;Community Perspectives&rdquo; highlight authentic personal viewpoints and real-life experiences by the CarParts.com community, including our readers, experts, and product specialists, among others.

I&rsquo;m experiencing the exact same thing on my 2008 Silverado, along with code[s] P069E and P0191. The only difference is I just put in a new aftermarket fuel pump because the original rusted out and was leaking gas. We didn&rsquo;t have these codes before installing the new fuel pump, only after the new pump was installed.
