Is Your GM Truck or SUV 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 GMC Savana 1500 or other compatible GM vehicle, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. This critical component, also known as a Fuel Pump Driver Module, is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can starve your engine of fuel, leading to a host of performance issues and diagnostic trouble codes like the notorious P069E.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Silverado 1500 towed in that had the owner completely stumped. He had already replaced the fuel pump himself, assuming it was the cause of his intermittent stalling and eventual no-start. Yet, the problem persisted. When we hooked up our scanner, we saw low fuel pressure readings, but the new pump was drawing power. The key was the P069E code stored in the ECM. Instead of throwing another expensive part at it, we went straight to the FPCM, located on the frame rail. It was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture—a classic failure. We installed a VIN-programmed module, and the truck fired right up with perfect fuel pressure. This saved the customer from more guesswork and the cost of a second, unnecessary fuel pump.
Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pump Control Module
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or during acceleration.
- ✔ Rough idling or engine hesitation.
- ✔ Loss of power and poor vehicle performance.
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, P0230, or P0627.
- ✔ A noticeable whining sound from the fuel pump as it runs continuously at full power.
- ✔ Reduced fuel economy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM is a small computer that receives commands from the Engine Control Module (ECM) and then regulates the voltage and speed of the fuel pump. This provides precise fuel pressure for optimal engine performance and efficiency, rather than having the pump run at 100% speed all the time.
Do I need to get this programmed at the dealership?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. This makes the installation a simple plug-and-play process, saving you the time, hassle, and expense of a dealership visit.
Where is this module located on my vehicle?
On most compatible trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, and Savana, the FPCM is typically mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. It’s exposed to the elements, which is a primary reason for its high failure rate due to corrosion.
What are the most common signs of a bad FPCM?
The most common symptoms include the engine cranking but not starting, stalling while driving, engine hesitation, and a Check Engine Light with code P069E. You may have inconsistent fuel pressure, which can be verified with a mechanical fuel pressure gauge.
Is this part compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for a range of part numbers, including 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, and 25967325. If your original module has any of these numbers, this part will work for your vehicle once programmed.
