Is Your GM Vehicle Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If your 2008-2009 Saturn Vue, or another compatible GM truck or SUV, is experiencing frustrating and unpredictable fuel delivery problems, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is the most likely culprit. Symptoms like sudden stalling, hesitation during acceleration, or a crank-no-start condition can leave you stranded and searching for answers. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that compromises your vehicle’s reliability. The FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain behind your fuel pump, and when it fails, your engine is starved of the fuel it needs to run properly.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Unexpected engine stalling, often when coming to a stop or under load
- ✔ Stumbling, sputtering, or hesitation when you press the gas pedal
- ✔ Noticeable loss of engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or P0627
- ✔ Inconsistent or low fuel pressure readings
The Plug-and-Play Solution: Programmed to Your VIN
Replacing the FPCM has traditionally meant a trip to the dealership for expensive diagnostic and programming fees. We eliminate that step completely. This replacement Fuel Pump Control Module arrives at your door fully programmed with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures perfect communication between the module and your vehicle’s other computer systems, restoring original performance and efficiency. It’s a direct, ready-to-install solution that saves you time, money, and hassle.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 in the shop that was on its third fuel pump in less than a year. The owner was convinced he kept getting defective pumps. A quick scan revealed a persistent P069E code: “Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF.” The FPCM, mounted on the frame rail and exposed to years of moisture and road salt, had failed internally. It wasn’t properly commanding the brand-new pumps to run. We installed a VIN-programmed FPCM, and the truck has run flawlessly ever since. Always check the module before condemning the pump!
Why VIN Programming is Crucial for Your 2008-2009 Vue Fuel Module
Modern GM vehicles use highly specific software calibrations for the fuel system based on the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and even tire size. Installing a used or non-programmed module can lead to incorrect fuel pressure, poor performance, and persistent check engine lights. Our process of programming this 2008-2009 Vue Fuel Module to your VIN guarantees that it has the exact software your vehicle was designed to run on. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all part; it’s a tailored solution for your specific vehicle, ensuring optimal function and long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
Absolutely not. This module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. It is a true plug-and-play part, ready for installation right out of the box. No special tools or dealer visits are required for programming.
Where is the FPCM located on my vehicle?
The location can vary. On most GM trucks and large SUVs (like the Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade), it is typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On a 2008-2009 Saturn Vue, it is located in the right-hand rear of the engine compartment. We always recommend consulting a service manual for your exact model to confirm the location.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is essential for programming the module correctly.
Will this fix my P069E trouble code?
A faulty FPCM is the most common cause for the P069E diagnostic trouble code. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair in the vast majority of cases. However, we always advise confirming the diagnosis and ensuring the wiring and fuel pump are in good condition.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a high-quality replacement part that is programmed using official GM software and calibrations. It is designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for performance, function, and durability, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution.
