Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling or Failing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than an engine that cranks but won’t catch, or one that dies unexpectedly in traffic. If your 2008-2009 Savana 1500, or another compatible GM vehicle, is suffering from inconsistent starting, stalling, hesitation, or a persistent Check Engine Light, the culprit is often not the fuel pump itself, but the module that controls it. This Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the electronic brain that regulates fuel pressure and delivery. When it fails, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs to run properly, leading to a host of performance issues.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Silverado 1500 towed in that was a classic “crank, no-start.” The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, a costly and time-consuming job, but the problem remained. He was convinced it had to be a wiring issue. After a quick scan, we saw diagnostic trouble code P069E – “Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF.” We checked the power and ground at the module located on the driver-side frame rail and found them to be good. The module itself was the point of failure. A new, pre-programmed FPCM had the truck running perfectly in under 30 minutes. This is a prime example of how correctly diagnosing the FPCM first can save hundreds of dollars and hours of frustration.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start.
- ✔ Sudden engine stalling, often while driving or idling.
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or sputtering during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor performance under load.
- ✔ Decreased fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light illuminated with fuel-related codes such as P069E, P0230, P025A, or U0109.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this part to a dealer for programming?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s VIN *before* we ship it. It will arrive ready to be installed with no additional programming required.
Where is this module located on my vehicle?
On most compatible trucks and SUVs (like the Savana, Sierra, Silverado, Tahoe, and Yukon), the FPCM is located on the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. On other vehicles like the Acadia or Traverse, it may be on a rear crossmember. Always consult a service manual for your specific model to confirm the location.
Is this part compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for a wide range of original part numbers, including 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. If your original module has any of these numbers, this part will work for you.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. The programming is essential for the part to function correctly. We will contact you after your purchase to request the VIN if it was not provided during checkout, which may delay your order.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket and ratchet set to remove the mounting bolts. Be sure to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
