Restore Your GM Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500 experiencing frustrating and potentially dangerous issues like stalling, hesitation during acceleration, or a complete no-start condition? Before you consider replacing the entire in-tank fuel pump, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers spend hundreds on the wrong repair. This FPCM, part number 25785013, is the direct, correct solution for a wide range of GM trucks and SUVs suffering from inconsistent fuel delivery.
The biggest challenge with replacing these modules has always been the mandatory, and often expensive, trip to the dealership for programming. We eliminate that step entirely. By providing us with your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, we will program the module with the latest GM software updates specifically for your truck. This ensures perfect communication between the FPCM, the ECM, and your fuel pump, restoring factory performance and efficiency. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution that gets you back on the road safely and quickly.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Misleading Fuel Pump
A customer brought in his ’08 Silverado with a classic complaint: it would crank but not start, and sometimes it would stall at stoplights. His previous mechanic quoted him for a full fuel pump replacement—a costly, labor-intensive job. When I hooked up my scan tool, I saw DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). Instead of dropping the tank, I first checked the FPCM located on the driver-side frame rail. It was heavily corroded from road salt and moisture. We replaced it with a pre-programmed module like this one, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. This simple swap saved the customer over $600 and a full day of shop time. Always check the FPCM first!
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 refuses to start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving, especially at low speeds
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or power loss during acceleration
- ✔ Rough or unstable idle
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or P025A
- ✔ A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump area that is inconsistent
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2008-2009 Yukon XL FPCM is a manageable job for a DIYer with basic tools. The most common location is 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 old FPCM. On most GMT900 platform vehicles (like the Yukon, Tahoe, Silverado), it’s mounted to a crossmember on the driver’s side frame. It’s a small silver box with a single large electrical connector.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. You may need to press a locking tab. Then, remove the bolts or nuts (typically 10mm or 13mm) securing the module to the frame. The old unit might be corroded, so some penetrating oil can help.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect: Firmly plug the electrical connector into the new module until it clicks into place. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Final Check: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the fuel system to prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the FPCM with the exact software and calibrations specified by GM for your vehicle’s specific configuration. This ensures seamless integration and proper function without any additional dealer visits.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIY mechanics with basic hand tools, this is a straightforward installation. The module is typically located on the vehicle’s frame rail and is accessible without major disassembly. Please see our installation guide above.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed FPCM will not work correctly. It may not allow the vehicle to start at all, or it could cause poor performance and damage to the fuel pump. Our pre-programming service makes this a true plug-and-play solution.
Is this the same as the fuel pump?
No. The fuel pump is located inside your fuel tank. This Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is the computer that tells the fuel pump how much fuel to send to the engine. It’s a separate electronic component.
How do I send you my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information to complete the programming.
