Is Your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that won’t run reliably. If your GMC Yukon, or a similar GM truck or SUV, is experiencing issues like stalling at stoplights, sputtering during acceleration, or cranking but failing to start, the culprit is often not the fuel pump itself, but the electronic brain that controls it: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is a critical part of your vehicle’s fuel delivery system. It precisely regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the exact amount of fuel it needs for optimal performance and efficiency. When it fails, it can leave you stranded.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your Fuel System Woes
This is a direct-fit replacement Fuel Pump Control Module for your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon and a wide range of other GM vehicles. What sets this module apart is our professional, VIN-specific programming service. Before we ship the part, we flash it with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM, tailored specifically to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming and ensures a seamless, plug-and-play installation. You receive a part that is ready to be installed right out of the box, restoring your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
We had a 2008 Tahoe come into the shop on a tow truck. The owner was convinced his fuel pump was bad for the third time in a year. He’d replaced it twice at other shops. The symptoms were classic: it would crank all day but never start. We hooked up the scanner and saw DTC P069E – ‘Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On’. This code doesn’t point to the pump; it points directly to the module’s control circuit. The FPCM, mounted on the frame rail, had corroded internally from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. We installed a new, VIN-programmed module, and the truck fired up on the first try. The customer could have saved hundreds of dollars and a lot of frustration by diagnosing the FPCM first.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Stalling, especially when coming to a stop or under load.
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ A lit Check Engine Light with fuel system-related codes (e.g., P069E, P0230, P025A).
- ✔ A loud whining noise from the fuel pump as it runs continuously at full power.
Why Choose Our Pre-Programmed 2008-2009 Yukon Fuel Pump Module?
When the FPCM in your vehicle fails, simply installing a used or non-programmed new module will not work. The module must be able to communicate with your vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM), and this requires vehicle-specific programming. Our service handles this critical step for you. By providing your VIN at checkout, you ensure that the 2008-2009 Yukon Fuel Pump Module you receive is perfectly matched to your vehicle’s factory specifications and includes all subsequent software improvements from the manufacturer. This process corrects common drivability issues and ensures the longevity of your new module and your fuel pump.
This module is a direct replacement for multiple GM part numbers, including: 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. It offers a reliable and cost-effective solution to a common GM problem. Don’t let a faulty module dictate your vehicle’s reliability. Restore your peace of mind with a part that’s ready to perform from the moment you install it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN is required so we can program the module with the exact software and calibrations specified by GM for your truck’s engine, transmission, and emissions equipment. This ensures perfect communication between the FPCM and other vehicle computers, guaranteeing proper function and a true plug-and-play installation.
Is this a simple installation?
Yes, for someone with basic mechanical skills. The module is typically located on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. The process involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging two electrical connectors, and removing a few bolts. Since our module comes pre-programmed, no further steps are needed after installation.
Will this fix my Check Engine Light for code P069E?
Yes, in most cases. DTC P069E is one of the most common codes indicating a fault with the Fuel Pump Control Module or its circuit. Replacing a failed module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for this code.
Can I use a module from a junkyard?
It is not recommended. A used module is programmed to a different vehicle’s VIN and will not function correctly in your truck. It also carries the risk of being near the end of its own service life. Our new, correctly programmed module is the only way to ensure a lasting and reliable repair.
What happens if I don’t replace a failing FPCM?
A failing FPCM will lead to worsening symptoms, from intermittent stalling to a complete no-start condition that will leave you stranded. It can also cause the fuel pump to run at 100% duty cycle constantly, leading to premature failure of the fuel pump itself, which is a much more expensive and labor-intensive repair.
