Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re driving a 2008-2009 GM vehicle like a Silverado, Tahoe, or Escalade and experiencing sudden power loss, erratic engine behavior, or a frustrating no-start condition, the culprit is often a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a mechanic with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen this exact issue hundreds of times. The FPCM, often mounted on the frame rail, is exposed to harsh road conditions, leading to corrosion and internal failure that starves your engine of the fuel it needs.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop: Just last month, a 2008 Sierra 1500 was towed in. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump, but the truck still wouldn’t run for more than a few minutes and had a P069E code stored. A quick check of the FPCM under the truck revealed a swollen, corroded case—a dead giveaway. We installed a pre-programmed module, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. He could have saved hundreds of dollars and a lot of frustration by diagnosing the FPCM first.

Easy Installation Guide for the 2008-2009 GM Fuel Pump Module
You can get your vehicle back on the road in under an hour with basic hand tools. Here’s a typical process for a truck or large SUV:
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs (like the Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban), the FPCM is mounted to the driver-side frame rail, often near the spare tire. On other models (like the Traverse or Acadia), it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Use a small screwdriver to release the locking tabs if necessary. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- Clean the Area: Before installing the new module, clean the mounting surface and the electrical connectors with a contact cleaner to ensure a solid connection. This is a critical step many people skip!
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Reconnect the electrical harnesses until they click securely.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and confirm the issue is resolved.
