Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than an engine that sputters, hesitates, or dies unexpectedly. If your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon is experiencing these issues, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common culprit. This small but 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 facing a confusing diagnosis.
Don’t guess with your repair or pay steep dealership fees for programming. This is a direct-fit, fully programmed 2008-2009 Yukon Fuel Pump Module, ready for installation right out of the box. We use your vehicle’s VIN to flash the module with the latest, most stable software from General Motors, ensuring perfect communication and restored performance. This eliminates the need for expensive scan tools or a trip to the dealer, saving you time and money.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall Case
I remember a 2008 Suburban that came into my shop with a classic, frustrating problem: it would randomly stall at low speeds and was occasionally hard to start. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the obvious fix, but the issue persisted. After hooking up my scanner, I saw no hard codes, but live data showed erratic voltage readings at the fuel pump. Instead of throwing more parts at it, we inspected the FPCM, located on the frame rail. It showed signs of corrosion from road salt and moisture. We replaced it with a VIN-programmed module, and the truck ran perfectly. It’s a textbook example of how this module’s failure can mimic a bad fuel pump, making proper diagnosis key.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine stalling, especially at idle or low speeds
- ✔ Difficulty starting or extended cranking time
- ✔ “Reduced Engine Power” message on the dashboard
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109 (Lost Communication with FPCM)
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs like the Yukon, the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically near the spare tire.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector(s). Be gentle with the locking tabs. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the old module to the frame.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- ✔ Connect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Start the Vehicle: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds before starting the engine to allow the system to initialize. Your vehicle is now ready to drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM, or Fuel Pump Driver Module, is a small computer that receives commands from the main Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely controls the voltage and speed of the fuel pump. This ensures optimal fuel pressure and efficiency under all driving conditions.
Why does this module need my VIN?
Your VIN allows us to program the module with the specific software calibration for your vehicle’s exact make, model, and options. This ensures it works perfectly upon installation without any additional programming required.
Is this a difficult part to replace for a DIYer?
Not at all. For most DIYers with basic hand tools, this is a very straightforward job. The module is typically easy to access on the vehicle’s frame rail, making it a simple unbolt-and-replace process. Our pre-programming makes it a true plug-and-play repair.
How do I send you my VIN after purchase?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will program the module and then ship it to you.
Will this fix a check engine light for code P069E?
Yes, P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common diagnostic trouble codes indicating a faulty FPCM. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct fix for this code, provided the wiring is intact.
