Restore Your GM Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2008-2009 Suburban 1500, or another compatible GM vehicle, suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? Before you condemn the fuel pump—a costly and labor-intensive job—consider the component that’s often the real culprit: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless fuel delivery issues incorrectly diagnosed. This VIN-programmed FPCM is the direct-fit, reliable solution that gets your vehicle running right without a trip to the dealership for expensive programming.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The P069E Puzzle
A customer brought in his 2008 Silverado with a classic “crank, no-start” condition that would appear intermittently. He’d already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted, along with a stubborn P069E check engine light code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). He was frustrated and out of pocket. After a quick scan and a check of the wiring, I honed in on the FPCM, located on the driver’s side frame rail. These modules are exposed to road salt, water, and vibration, leading to internal corrosion and failure. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired up instantly and ran perfectly. He could have saved hundreds of dollars and a full weekend of work by starting with the correct diagnosis. This is the fix that solves the problem at its source.
Is Your GM Truck or SUV Showing These Telltale Signs?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump, but there are specific symptoms and codes to watch for. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your most likely solution.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling while driving, especially under load
- ✔ Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor performance
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, P0230, or U0109
The Smart Solution: A Pre-Programmed 2008-2009 Suburban FPCM
The biggest hurdle in replacing modern vehicle electronics is the need for vehicle-specific software. We eliminate that step entirely. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) during checkout, and our technicians will flash this module with the latest, most stable software directly from GM. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s powertrain control module (PCM) and restores factory fuel pressure command. It’s a true plug-and-play fix that saves you the time, cost, and hassle of a dealership visit.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
This is a repair most DIYers can handle with basic hand tools. Since the programming is done, the physical swap is all that’s left.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Suburban, Tahoe, and Silverado, the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically near the spare tire.
- Disconnect Electrical Connectors: Carefully press the release tabs and pull the two electrical connectors straight out from the module. Inspect them for any corrosion or damage.
- Remove the Old Module: Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts securing the FPCM to the frame. The module should now be free.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and tighten the bolts securely.
- Reconnect Everything: Plug the electrical connectors back in until they click, and then reconnect your battery terminal. Your installation is complete!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. Just provide your VIN at checkout, and it will arrive ready to install, saving you time and money.
Where do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your 17-digit VIN can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
What does the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) do?
The FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), acts like a smart relay. It receives commands from the engine computer (PCM) and precisely regulates the voltage and speed of the fuel pump to deliver the exact amount of fuel the engine needs.
Will this part fix a P069E code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FPCM is the root cause of a P069E code. This pre-programmed module is the correct and most common repair for that specific diagnostic trouble code.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, tested replacement part guaranteed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. It is loaded with new, updated GM software specific to your vehicle.
