In this video, I show you the exact location of the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) on a 2016-2019 Chevrolet Cruze (second-generation model). Pinpointing exactly where this electronic module is mounted inside the vehicle is an essential first step for a smooth DIY diagnosis and repair, saving you time and keeping you from pulling apart the wrong interior panels.
Common symptoms of a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module include:
- The engine cranks over normally but completely refuses to start (a classic crank, no-start condition caused by lack of fuel delivery).
- The engine randomly cuts out or stalls while driving, or experiences severe sputtering and hesitation during acceleration.
- An active Check Engine Light (CEL) on your dashboard with specific fuel system communication or performance codes, such as P025A or U0109.
Safety First: Working with fuel system electronics means ensuring the vehicle is completely stable and the ignition is off. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before unplugging electronic control units to prevent voltage spikes, use proper plastic trim removal tools to protect your interior pieces from cracking, wear safety glasses and clean gloves to protect your hands and eyes, and stay fully focused and attentive throughout the entire process.
