Is Your 2008-2009 GM Truck or SUV Stalling or Failing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that won’t run reliably. If your GMC Yukon, Chevy Tahoe, Silverado, or other compatible GM vehicle is suddenly stalling, hesitating during acceleration, or refusing to start altogether, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. This module, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain behind your fuel delivery system. It regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs under all driving conditions. When it fails, it can leave you stranded without warning.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2008 Sierra 1500 towed in with a classic ‘crank, no start’ condition. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, assuming it was the problem, but the truck still wouldn’t fire up. After a quick scan, we found the notorious trouble code P069E stored in the ECM. This code points directly to a communication issue with the Fuel Pump Control Module. We inspected the original module on the frame rail and found it was heavily corroded. After installing one of our pre-programmed modules, the truck started instantly and ran perfectly. The customer could have saved hundreds of dollars and a weekend of frustration by diagnosing the FPCM first.
The Solution: A Pre-Programmed 2008-2009 Yukon Fuel Pump Module
Don’t let a faulty module sideline your vehicle. This is a direct-fit replacement Fuel Pump Control Module for a wide range of 2008-2009 GM vehicles. The biggest advantage of our module is that it arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. This critical step ensures seamless communication with your vehicle’s other computers, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. Simply provide us with your VIN upon purchase, and we handle the complex flashing process with the latest GM software updates before we ship it. The result is a true plug-and-play repair that you can perform in your own driveway.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or P0606
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, especially while driving
- ✔ Engine hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Rough idling or poor engine performance
- ✔ Reduced fuel economy
- ✔ In some cases, the fuel gauge may read empty incorrectly
Why Do These Modules Fail?
On most GM trucks and SUVs from this era, the FPCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. This location exposes it to a constant barrage of water, road salt, and debris. Over time, moisture penetrates the module’s seals, causing corrosion on the circuit board and at the electrical connectors. Vibration from the road also contributes to the failure of sensitive electronic components. Our replacement modules are built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, providing a reliable and lasting solution to these common issues.
This module is a direct replacement for the following part numbers: 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. It fits a vast array of vehicles beyond the Yukon, including the Sierra, Silverado, Escalade, Suburban, Avalanche, and more. Please check the fitment list to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM is a small computer that controls the in-tank fuel pump. Instead of running the pump at full speed all the time, the FPCM precisely varies the pump’s speed based on engine demand. This improves efficiency, reduces noise, and extends the life of the fuel pump.
Do I need to get this module programmed?
No. This is the key benefit of our product. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping it to you. This means it is ready for installation right out of the box, with no need for a trip to a dealer or a specialized shop with expensive scan tools.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Yukon?
On the 2008-2009 GMC Yukon and most other GM trucks/SUVs of this generation, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, above the spare tire. You will need to lower the spare tire to gain easy access to it.
What happens if I install this without programming?
An unprogrammed FPCM will not communicate correctly with your vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM). This will almost always result in a no-start condition and will set a P069E trouble code. That is why our pre-programming service is essential for a successful repair.
Is this compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module replaces several original GM part numbers, including 13501024, 15213110, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. If your original module has any of these numbers, this part is a direct replacement.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We use this to load the correct GM software and calibration files onto the module, ensuring perfect compatibility.
