Is your 2008 or 2009 GM truck or SUV stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? The problem is often a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component, mounted on the frame rail, is responsible for managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. Its exposed location makes it highly susceptible to corrosion and failure from road salt, water, and debris. When it fails, it leaves you stranded. This listing is for a direct replacement FPCM, part number 25967325, that arrives at your door fully programmed with the latest GM software for your specific vehicle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine Cranks but Will Not Start: The most common symptom. The starter turns the engine over, but it never fires up due to a lack of fuel.
- ✔ Sudden Stalling: The vehicle may start and run for a few minutes, or even hours, before stalling unexpectedly and without warning.
- ✔ Engine Hesitation or Stumbling: Under acceleration, the engine may sputter or hesitate as the module fails to command the correct fuel pressure.
- ✔ Reduced Engine Power: Your vehicle may enter a ‘limp mode’ with significantly reduced power to prevent damage.
- ✔ Check Engine Light: A failed FPCM will almost always trigger a Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, P025A, or U0109.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2008 Silverado 1500 towed to the shop with a classic no-start condition. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the issue, but the truck still wouldn’t fire. A quick scan with our diagnostic tool pulled code P069E – “Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF.” We put the truck on the lift and found the original FPCM on the driver-side frame rail, its aluminum casing swollen and white with corrosion. This is a textbook failure. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired up on the first crank. The customer could have saved hundreds of dollars and a lot of frustration by diagnosing the FPCM first.
Why Choose Our Pre-Programmed 2008-2009 Suburban Fuel Module?
Unlike a standard replacement part from a local auto parts store, this module is not a blank slate. A new, unprogrammed module requires a trip to the dealership or a high-end repair shop with expensive subscription-based tools to have it flashed. This process can add hundreds of dollars and significant downtime to your repair. Our solution eliminates that step entirely. We handle the programming for you before the part ever leaves our facility.
The Process is Simple:
- Complete your purchase.
- Provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
- Our technicians will flash the module with the latest, most stable GM calibration specific to your vehicle’s exact build.
- We ship the ready-to-install module directly to you.
Installation is straightforward for any DIY mechanic. Simply disconnect the battery, locate the old module on the frame rail, unplug the connectors, unbolt it, and install the new one in its place. Reconnect everything, and you’re back on the road. No extra steps, no extra costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this module programmed?
No. This is the primary benefit of our service. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready for a plug-and-play installation, saving you a trip to the dealership.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Suburban?
On most GM trucks and SUVs from this era, including the Suburban, Tahoe, and Silverado, the Fuel Pump Control Module is mounted to the inside of the driver-side frame rail, roughly below the driver’s door.
What is a VIN and why do you need it?
The VIN is your vehicle’s unique 17-digit identification number. It contains information about the manufacturer, model, year, and specific options your vehicle was built with. We use the VIN to download the exact factory software and calibrations from GM’s database to ensure the module works perfectly with your vehicle’s systems.
Will this part fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FPCM is the root cause of a P069E code. While you should always confirm the diagnosis, replacing a corroded or non-functional FPCM with our pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for this code.
What is the difference between an FPCM and a fuel pump driver module?
They are different names for the same part. GM typically refers to it as a Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) or Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), while other manufacturers, like Ford, often call it a Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM). They all perform the same function: controlling the speed and voltage of the fuel pump.
