13553577 GM Fuel Pump Power Control Module: 2026 DTC Mapping, OEM Cross-Reference & CAN-bus 3.0 Technical Consensus
Does your 2021-2024 Silverado crank hard and never fire? The tank has fuel, the battery tests good, and the pump may already be new. Before you blame the pump, check the small computer that feeds it. This 13553577 fuel pump power control module for 2021-2024 GM trucks and SUVs costs well under the $190.22 GM list price.
What this module does, in plain words
The module is a smart switch between the engine computer and the fuel pump. The pump is the motor inside the tank that pushes fuel to the engine. GM calls it the K111 Fuel Pump Driver Control Module.
Your engine computer decides how hard the pump should work and sends that demand over the data network. The module turns it into a 25 kHz pulse train that spins the pump at that speed.
Older trucks used a plain relay that was either on or off. This design also sets pump speed, which cuts heat and noise. It adds one more part that can fail.
The failure looks like a fuel problem, and usually is not
An internally shorted module leaves the pump dead, weak, or running when it should be off. GM lists these symptoms in Bulletin 24-NA-139:
- Cranks and cranks, never fires, with the check-engine light on.
- Rough running before the no-start ever shows up.
- Pump still running after you shut the key off.
- Engine refuses to shut down, or accessories stay awake.
That last group is why owners chase phantom electrical gremlins. Check this module before you buy a second fuel pump.
The numbers that matter
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| GM part number | 13553577 — replaces 13541412, 13536028, 13543038, 13551110; superseded by 13563193 |
| GM module name | K111 Fuel Pump Driver Control Module, also sold as the Fuel Pump Power Control Module |
| How it drives the pump | 25 kHz pulse-width modulation on the pump feed; speed command from the ECM over serial data |
| Codes it sets | P023F and P129F primary; P025A to P025D, P0627, P069E, U18A2 supporting |
| Mounting | Outside of the left frame rail near the spare tire, under the bed on pickups |
| KOEEP unit | $108.38 with a 2-year warranty, against a $190.22 GM list price |
The codes, translated
Here is what each stored code tells you. A DTC — diagnostic trouble code — is the fault number your scanner reads.
- P023F — fuel pump secondary circuit open. The module commands the pump and sees almost no current back.
- P129F — pump speed signal incorrect. GM's bulletin pairs it with P023F for a shorted K111 module.
- P025A to P025D — fuel pump control circuit faults. Open, out of range, low, or high on the command line.
- P069E — the module itself asked for the check-engine light. The module is reporting its own fault.
- P0627 — fuel pump enable circuit. U18A2 means the network lost the module.
P0087, the low fuel rail pressure code, fits here too. A starved feed pump drags pressure down on a healthy engine.
Test the pump's power before you buy anything
Work in this order and you will not buy parts you do not need:
- Turn the key to ON and listen for a two-second pump hum from the tank. Silence means the pump is not being fed.
- Scan for codes. P023F or P129F next to a no-start points at the module first.
- Measure voltage at the pump connector while a helper cranks. Battery voltage there clears the module and points at the pump.
- No voltage? Check the module's power feed, its ground, and both connectors for corrosion.
- Power the pump through a fused jumper. If it runs and pressure holds, the pump is good and the module is not.
Road salt collects on that frame rail connector. Corroded pins mimic a dead module, so clean them before you order anything.
GM's bulletin asks shops to run a configuration step on the replacement after the swap. KOEEP lists this unit as needing no programming, and most installs fire right up.
If yours does not, finish the setup with a capable scan tool. Any independent shop can do it in minutes.
Finding it and swapping it
On the 2021-2024 Silverado and Sierra and the 2021-2023 full-size SUVs, the module bolts to the left frame rail, near the spare tire. Two fasteners and one connector hold it. Hand tools and under an hour:
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Find the module on the left frame rail; lower the spare tire if you need the room.
- Unplug the connector and inspect the pins for green corrosion.
- Remove the two mounting fasteners and lift the module out.
- Bolt the new unit in, plug it in, reconnect the battery, and crank.
One note before you pay anyone: GM covers K111 replacement under the 8-year/80,000-mile federal emissions warranty. Inside that window, a dealer repair may be free.
Same failure, other brands
Nearly every modern vehicle has some version of this module, and the symptoms match: crank, no start, no prime.
- Gm crossovers use a sibling unit — this fuel pump power control module for the 2021-2024 Cadillac XT4 and its Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC siblings.
- BMW's EKPM3 fails the same way on the 2007-2013 3 Series, 2008-2010 5 Series, and 2011-2017 X3 — this BMW fuel pump control module covers them.
- VW's J538 sits on the tank of the 2006-2010 Passat, 2009-2017 CC, and 2006-2014 GTI and Jetta GLI — here is the VW fuel pump control unit for the 2.0 TSI engines.
KOEEP also stocks complete pump assemblies, covered in the 2013-2014 GM fuel pump assembly buyer's guide and the Chevrolet HHR SS troubleshooting guide. All of it sits in the main parts collection.
Frequently asked questions
Which vehicles does the 13553577 module fit?
GM catalogs it for 2020-2025: the 2021-2024 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500, the 2021-2023 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, and Escalade, plus the 2020-2024 CT4, CT5, and Corvette. Run your VIN through a GM parts catalog, because GM splits this job across several numbers by year.
Why does my truck crank but not start with fuel in the tank?
An internally shorted module stops feeding the pump, so the engine gets no fuel even though the starter spins happily. Codes P023F or P129F point straight at it.
Is this module just a fancy fuel pump relay?
A relay only switches power on and off. This module also sets pump speed with 25 kHz pulses, following a command from the computer.
Can I keep driving with a failing module?
Once it fails completely the engine will not run at all. The early stage can stall without warning, so fix it where it sits.
Where is the module on my truck?
Outside of the left frame rail near the spare tire, under the bed on the 2021-2024 Silverado and Sierra and the 2021-2023 full-size SUVs. Lower the spare tire if you need room.
Does the replacement need programming?
KOEEP lists this unit as requiring no programming, and most installs start right up. GM's bulletin still asks for a configuration step, so keep a scan tool option open.
Is this repair covered by any warranty?
GM covers K111 replacement for 8 years or 80,000 miles under the federal emissions warranty. The KOEEP unit carries a 2-year warranty.
Replace the module for a fraction of the GM list price
