Is Your GM Vehicle Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re experiencing erratic engine behavior, a sudden loss of power, or a frustrating no-start condition in your 2008-2009 Saturn Vue or other compatible GM vehicle, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain behind your 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 and trigger a check engine light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Silverado 1500 towed in that was driving the owner crazy. It would run fine for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight and refuse to restart for an hour. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the obvious fix, but the problem persisted. When we hooked up our diagnostic scanner, we saw fluctuating fuel pressure commands and a history code for ‘U0109 – Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module.’ A quick inspection under the truck revealed the FPCM, mounted to the frame rail, was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. We installed a VIN-programmed module, and the truck has been running perfectly ever since. It’s a classic case where the ‘brain’ (FPCM) fails, not the ‘muscle’ (the pump).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this part ready to install right out of the box?
Yes! This Fuel Pump Control Module is fully pre-programmed to the VIN you provide. This makes it a true plug-and-play solution, with no additional programming required after installation.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008-2009 Saturn Vue?
On the 2008-2009 Saturn Vue, the FPCM is typically located in the right-hand rear of the engine compartment. On many of the compatible trucks and SUVs like the Sierra or Tahoe, it is commonly found mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire.
How do I provide you with my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it as a note during checkout or reply to your order confirmation email. We cannot ship the module until we have programmed it.
Will this fix my Check Engine Light for code P069E?
Code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is a very common indicator of a failing FPCM. While this module is the most frequent solution, we always recommend confirming the diagnosis. Ensure the wiring and connectors to the module are in good condition before replacing the part.
What’s the difference between the fuel pump and the FPCM?
Think of the FPCM as the brain and the fuel pump as the muscle. The FPCM receives commands from the main engine computer (ECU) and then tells the fuel pump how fast to run. The fuel pump itself simply does the physical work of pumping the fuel. A failure in either component can cause similar symptoms, but FPCM failure is extremely common on these vehicles.
