Restore Your Tahoe’s Reliability and Performance
Is your 2008 or 2009 Chevy Tahoe experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation during acceleration, 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), also known as a Fuel Pump Driver Module. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen this exact part fail countless times, leaving drivers stranded. This module is the brain behind your fuel pump, and when it malfunctions, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs to run properly.
We offer a simple, dependable solution: a direct-replacement FPCM that comes pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. This isn’t a generic, one-size-fits-all part. We flash it with the latest GM software updates before it ships, ensuring perfect communication with your vehicle’s computer systems. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you time, money, and hassle. Get your truck back to running like it should with a reliable, plug-and-play fix.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2008 Suburban that came into the shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the truck still wouldn’t start. He was frustrated and out a few hundred dollars. After a quick diagnostic scan, I saw the classic code: P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. A visual inspection confirmed my suspicion. The original FPCM, mounted on the frame rail, was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the engine fired right up on the first try. It’s a powerful reminder that diagnosing the root cause is key, and on these GM trucks and SUVs, the FPCM is a very common failure point.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, this module is the likely solution.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when coming to a stop
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ A lit Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic hand tools. On most GMT900 platform vehicles like the Tahoe, it’s located on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the FPCM mounted to the vehicle’s frame crossmember. It’s a small silver box with electrical connectors.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and tighten the mounting hardware securely.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a click.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is successful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module arrives at your door fully programmed with the latest GM software for your specific vehicle. All we need is your VIN after purchase. It’s a true plug-and-play installation.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we receive your VIN to perform the programming.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Tahoe?
On the 2008-2009 Tahoe, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire area. It’s exposed to the elements, which is why corrosion is a common cause of failure.
Is this a better option than a part from a salvage yard?
Absolutely. A used module will not be programmed for your vehicle, may have the same corrosion or electronic issues as your old one, and won’t have the latest software. Our module is a reliable, long-term fix programmed specifically for you.
What if I have one of the other compatible part numbers?
This module is a direct replacement for all the part numbers listed, including 25967325, 20759945, and others. It functions identically and is guaranteed to work if your vehicle is on the fitment list.
