Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re behind the wheel of a 2008-2009 GM vehicle like a Silverado, Tahoe, or Escalade and experiencing sudden engine stalls, a frustrating crank-no-start condition, or a check engine light with codes like P069E, 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. These modules, often mounted on the frame rail, are exposed to harsh elementsโwater, road salt, and constant vibrationโleading to premature failure and leaving you stranded.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
“Just last month, a 2008 Sierra 1500 was towed in. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the problem, but the truck still wouldn’t run for more than a few minutes before sputtering out. A quick scan showed a P069E codeโFuel Pump Control Module Performance. We located the original FPCM on the driver-side frame rail, and it was heavily corroded. After installing one of our pre-programmed modules, 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: Get Back on the Road in Under an Hour
This is a repair that a confident DIYer or any professional mechanic can complete with basic hand tools. Since the programming is already done, it’s a simple bolt-off, bolt-on process.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs (like the Silverado/Sierra/Tahoe), you’ll find the FPCM mounted to the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other models, it may be on a rear crossmember or in the engine compartment.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, unbolt the old, faulty module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location.
- Reconnect: Securely plug in the electrical connectors to the new module. Double-check that they are fully seated.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and confirm that it runs smoothly and the check engine light is off.
Frequently Asked Questions About the 2008-2009 GM Fuel Pump Module
