Restore Your Vehicle’s Fuel System with a Pre-Programmed FPCM
Is your 2008-2009 Saturn VUE or other GM vehicle suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? The culprit is often a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component acts as the brain for your fuel pump, regulating voltage to ensure your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and frustrated. This is the reliable, long-term solution you’ve been searching for.
We take the guesswork and high costs out of the repair. Unlike a standard replacement part that requires an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, this module arrives at your door ready for installation. We flash it with the latest official GM software updates, tailored specifically to your vehicle using your VIN. This not only ensures perfect compatibility but also resolves common performance issues and software bugs that the original module may have had. By installing this direct-fit 2008-2009 VUE Fuel Pump Module, you’re restoring the heart of your vehicle’s fuel delivery system to better-than-new operational standards.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I remember a 2009 GMC Acadia that came into my shop on a tow truck. The customer was fed up; it would crank but not start one day, then run fine for a week. Another shop had already replaced the fuel pump, but the intermittent no-start issue persisted. My scan tool pulled a P069E code—Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. Instead of just throwing parts at it, I went straight to the FPCM, which on those vehicles is mounted to the frame rail, exposed to road salt and moisture. Sure enough, the housing was corroded and the connector pins were green. A failing FPCM can’t deliver consistent voltage, starving the brand-new pump of power. We installed one of these pre-programmed modules, and the Acadia fired up instantly and never came back for that issue. It’s a classic failure I’ve seen hundreds of times on these GM platforms.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Telltale Signs?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start
- âś” Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load
- âś” Noticeable hesitation or loss of power during acceleration
- âś” Reduced fuel economy
- âś” Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
Your Straightforward Installation Guide
Getting your vehicle back on the road is easier than you think. While the exact location varies by model, the process is very manageable for a DIYer.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On the 2008-2009 Saturn VUE, the FPCM is located in the right rear of the engine compartment. On most GM trucks and SUVs, it’s mounted on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, unbolt the old module from its mounting location. Pay attention to any corrosion on the connectors and clean them if necessary.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place and securely reconnect the electrical harnesses.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and confirm the engine runs smoothly and the Check Engine Light is off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is required so we can program the module with the exact software and calibrations specified by GM for your vehicle’s specific configuration. This ensures perfect, plug-and-play functionality.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, installation is straightforward for most DIY enthusiasts. It involves locating the old module, disconnecting it, and bolting the new one in its place. No special tools are needed, and since it’s pre-programmed, no further steps are required.
What does the Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM is a small computer that controls the speed and voltage of the fuel pump. This allows for precise fuel pressure management, which improves engine efficiency and performance, as opposed to older systems where the pump just ran at full speed all the time.
Will this fit other GM trucks and SUVs?
Yes, this FPCM is compatible with a very wide range of GM vehicles from 2007-2009, including the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, and many others. Please check the detailed fitment list above to confirm compatibility.
Is this a new part?
Yes, this is a high-quality replacement part that has been programmed with the latest GM software updates for optimal performance and reliability. It is a direct replacement for the original equipment.
