Description of the problem | The vehicle was being driven by my son when service engine light came on and i then used my actron scan tool and pulled 3x codes from the computer (ecu) codes related to the fuel pump control module , and trailer brake warning light appeared on the instrument cluster cleared these codes. 2 days later codes reappeared all were fuel pump circuit low, fuel pump module and trailer brake codes. Cleared codes then inspected the fpsm visually removed rear cover and the fpsm was full of water i them dried it out for 2x days in the sun truck ran after reassembly. But 3x days later the truck failed to start this time with computer scan tool in hand i checked the fuel pump pressure, the truck had no fuel pump pressure. I then went to my local chevrolet dealer and gave them the v. I. N. # to check the vehicle for recalls. Only recall was for safety belt recall which was done in 2009. I found out there was a potential recall for the fpsm on this website. So ii inquired to the parts department for this part,it was in stock and 183. 00. I then purchased a new ac delco module on-line for 85. 00 put it on and then found my local shop in town to have a tech come out to re-flash the fpsm so the (ecu) would recognize the new part. I am saving my copies of the bills so that when someone dies from this part failing when it stops the vehicle hopefully i can be reimbursed for another planned gm part failure... Sincerely mr.
