13553577 GM Fuel Pump Power Control Module: 2026 DTC Mapping, OEM Cross-Reference & CAN-bus 3.0 Technical Consensus

by flippancy 21 May 2026
Guide scope: the fuel pump power control module on GM full-size trucks and SUVs — 2021-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2021-2024 GMC Sierra 1500, 2021-2023 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2021-2023 Suburban, 2021-2023 GMC Yukon, 2021-2023 Cadillac Escalade. GM also catalogs 13553577 across 2020-2025, including the CT4, CT5, and Corvette. This guide covers what it does, which codes point at it, and how to swap it.

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GM part number 13553577 — replaces 13541412, 13536028, 13543038, 13551110; superseded by 13563193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
A new pump cannot fix a missing power feed. Measure what reaches the pump before replacing it.

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:

  1. Turn the key to ON and listen for a two-second pump hum from the tank. Silence means the pump is not being fed.
  2. Scan for codes. P023F or P129F next to a no-start points at the module first.
  3. Measure voltage at the pump connector while a helper cranks. Battery voltage there clears the module and points at the pump.
  4. No voltage? Check the module's power feed, its ground, and both connectors for corrosion.
  5. 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.

New module installed and the truck still will not start?

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:

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Find the module on the left frame rail; lower the spare tire if you need the room.
  3. Unplug the connector and inspect the pins for green corrosion.
  4. Remove the two mounting fasteners and lift the module out.
  5. 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.

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.

Who feeds the fuel pump — and where the chain breaks Engine computer sends a duty-cycle speed command over the data network K111 module switches the pump feed at 25 kHz pulses bolted to the frame rail Fuel pump motor in the tank spins at the commanded speed Engine gets fuel and fires on the first crank Module shorts internally no current to the pump → crank, no start, P023F Replace the module, then recheck P023F or P129F → module first, pump second Test order: listen for pump prime → scan codes → measure voltage at the pump → then replace the module.
The module sits low on the frame, so connector corrosion often does the damage before the electronics do.

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

The 13553577 fuel pump power control module is in stock at $108.38 with a 2-year warranty. Not sure which number your VIN calls for? Send us a request for a quote, email support@koeep.com, or WhatsApp +86 181 3883 8291.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
