Is your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500 experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, long crank times, or a complete no-start condition? Before you consider replacing the entire fuel pump, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This vital component, often called the ‘brain’ of your fuel system, regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump, ensuring optimal fuel pressure and engine performance. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and scratching your head.
We offer a reliable, direct-fit solution. This FPCM is not just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install fix. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) with the latest GM software updates. This means you can skip the expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation, restoring your vehicle’s performance and reliability right out of the box.
A Technician’s Notebook
I’ve seen it countless times in my 20+ years in the bay. A customer comes in with a 2008 Suburban or Yukon that cranks but won’t start, or stalls intermittently. They’ve already replaced the fuel pump, sometimes twice, with no luck. The first thing I check is the FPCM. These modules are mounted on the frame rail, exposed to water, salt, and road debris, leading to corrosion and internal failure. A quick scan often reveals code P069E. By replacing the faulty module with a properly programmed unit like this one, we solve the problem the first time, saving the customer hundreds in wasted parts and labor.
Is Your Yukon Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump. Look out for these common warning signs:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when coming to a stop
- ✔ “Reduced Engine Power” message on the instrument cluster
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or P0627
A Straightforward Guide to Your 2008-2009 Yukon XL FPCM Installation
Replacing your 2008-2009 Yukon XL FPCM is a manageable job for a confident DIYer. The module is typically located on 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 mounted to the vehicle’s frame rail on the driver’s side. It’s a small black box with electrical connectors.
- Disconnect Electrical Connectors: Carefully press the release tabs and disconnect the two wiring harnesses from the old module. Inspect the connectors for any corrosion or damage.
- Remove the Old Module: Unbolt the module from the frame. These bolts can sometimes be rusty, so applying a penetrating oil beforehand can be helpful.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Ensure it is securely fastened to the frame.
- Reconnect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module until they click. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Your installation is complete, with no dealer programming required!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN is required to program the module with the correct, vehicle-specific software from GM. This ensures perfect compatibility and function, eliminating the need for you to visit a dealer for programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, installation is straightforward. The module is located on the driver’s side frame rail and is held on by a few bolts. Since we pre-program it, the process is simply unbolt-unplug the old one, and plug-in-bolt-on the new one.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, the Diagnostic Trouble Code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common indicators of a failed FPCM. Replacing the module is the standard repair for this code.
What is the difference between an FPCM and a fuel pump?
The fuel pump is a mechanical device inside your gas tank that moves fuel. The FPCM is an electronic module that controls the fuel pump’s speed and pressure. They work together, but are separate parts.
How do I send you my VIN after purchase?
After you complete your purchase, you can send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN to complete the programming.
