Restore Your Yukon’s Power and Reliability
If your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon is suddenly stalling, hesitating during acceleration, or refusing to start, the culprit is often a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded without warning. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a significant reliability issue. We offer a dependable, direct-fit solution that gets you back on the road with confidence.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I remember a 2008 Sierra 1500 (which uses the same platform as your Yukon) that came into my shop on a tow truck. The customer had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the obvious fix for his no-start condition. Yet, the truck still wouldn’t fire up. A quick check with my scan tool revealed DTC P069E: ‘Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF.’ The FPCM wasn’t sending power to the brand-new pump. These modules are notoriously exposed to the elements on the frame rail, leading to internal corrosion and failure. We installed a pre-programmed module, and the truck started instantly. This simple part saved the customer from further misdiagnosis and unnecessary expenses.
Why Choose Our Pre-Programmed FPCM?
The biggest hurdle in replacing an FPCM is the mandatory programming. A new module from the dealership is just a blank box; it requires a specialized GM scan tool and a subscription to their software to make it work with your vehicle. This means extra costs for labor and programming fees. Our solution eliminates that step entirely. We flash this module with the latest, most stable GM software updates specifically for your vehicle’s VIN before it ever leaves our facility. This 2008-2009 Yukon FPCM arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation.
Is Your Yukon Exhibiting These Fuel System Issues?
- ✔ Sudden engine stalling, especially while driving
- ✔ Vehicle cranks but refuses to start
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or power loss during acceleration
- ✔ Rough or unstable idle
- ✔ A ‘Service Fuel System’ message on your dashboard
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools in their own driveway. On most GMT900 trucks and SUVs like your Yukon, you’ll find it mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: Find the FPCM on the inside of the driver-side frame rail. It’s a small silver or black box with electrical connectors.
- Disconnect: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Use a small flathead screwdriver to gently release the locking tabs if they are stuck.
- Unbolt the Old Module: Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module to the frame. Keep the hardware, as you may need to reuse it.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed 2008-2009 Yukon FPCM onto the frame using the original hardware.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a click as they lock into place.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start with its fuel system performance fully restored.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
No. This is the primary benefit of our service. You provide us with your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and we program the module with the latest GM software before shipping. It arrives ready to install.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Yukon?
On the 2008-2009 GMC Yukon and similar platforms (Tahoe, Suburban), the FPCM is typically mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, often above or near the spare tire crossmember.
Is this different from the main computer (ECM/PCM)?
Yes. The FPCM is a dedicated module that specifically controls the fuel pump’s operation. The Engine Control Module (ECM) is the main computer that oversees the entire engine, and it sends commands to the FPCM.
What happens if I don’t replace a failing FPCM?
A failing FPCM will lead to increasingly frequent and severe symptoms. It can go from intermittent stalling to a complete no-start condition, leaving you stranded. It can also cause damage to the fuel pump over time due to incorrect voltage.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information for programming.
