Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2009 Saturn Outlook, or another GM truck or SUV, suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? The problem often isn’t the fuel pump itself, but the small computer that controls it: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the frame rail on many models, this module is exposed to harsh road conditions, leading to corrosion and internal failure. This pre-programmed FPCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore proper fuel delivery and get you back on the road with confidence.
Unlike a blank module from a parts store or dealership, this unit arrives at your door ready for installation. We use your vehicle’s VIN to flash the module with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This critical step ensures perfect communication between the FPCM and your vehicle’s other computers, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealer for programming. This is the smart, efficient fix for both professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I remember a 2008 Silverado 1500 that came into my shop with a classic complaint: it would randomly stall at red lights and was becoming hard to start. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the issue persisted. A quick scan showed a P069E code—a tell-tale sign of an FPCM fault. We put the truck on the lift, and sure enough, the original module on the frame rail was heavily corroded. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. It’s a repair I’ve done hundreds of times; that frame-mounted location is the part’s biggest weakness.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump. Before you spend time and money dropping the fuel tank, check for these common indicators of a module failure:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, especially when coming to a stop
- ✔ Stuttering or hesitation during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor performance
- ✔ A noticeable decrease in fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, P0230, or U0109 (Loss of Communication with FPCM)
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2009 Outlook Fuel Pump Control Module is a manageable job for a DIYer with basic tools. Since it comes pre-programmed, no special electronic equipment is needed.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Tahoe or Sierra, the FPCM is mounted to the driver-side frame rail, often near the spare tire. On other vehicles like the Traverse or Acadia, it may be on a rear crossmember. Consult a repair manual for your specific model if you’re unsure.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s) from the old module. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to its bracket or the frame. These may be rusty, so applying a penetrating oil beforehand can help.
- Install the New Module: Mount the new FPCM in the same location and orientation as the original. Secure it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module until it clicks. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming after I receive this module?
No. This module is fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. It is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you a trip to the dealership.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. The programming is essential for the part to function correctly in your specific vehicle. Please provide your VIN during or after checkout.
Is this a reliable fix for a P069E trouble code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, the P069E code is caused by a failing Fuel Pump Control Module. Replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the standard and effective repair.
Where is the FPCM located on a 2009 Saturn Outlook?
On the 2009 Saturn Outlook and its platform mates (Acadia, Traverse, Enclave), the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically located on the rear crossmember, accessible from underneath the vehicle.
Can a bad FPCM cause my fuel gauge to be inaccurate?
No, the FPCM’s primary job is to control the voltage and speed of the fuel pump. It does not process information from the fuel level sender. An inaccurate fuel gauge is typically a separate issue related to the sending unit in the tank.
