Restore Reliable Starting and Performance to Your GM Truck or SUV
Is your Yukon XL, Silverado, or Tahoe suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as the Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). Located on the frame rail, these modules are exposed to harsh road conditions, leading to corrosion and internal failure. This module is the solution, arriving at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software specifically for your vehicle. You get a direct-fit, plug-and-play repair without the expensive trip to a dealership for programming.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump, but a proper diagnosis can save you hundreds. I’ve seen these issues in my shop countless times. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is likely your fix:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, especially while driving
- ✔ Vehicle starts and then immediately dies
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling on acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
From the Diagnostic Bay
A customer brought in a 2008 Silverado 1500 with a classic complaint: it would randomly stall at red lights and was becoming hard to start. They had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan showed a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). I put the truck on the lift and went straight for the FPCM on the driver’s side frame rail. Just as I suspected, the module’s aluminum housing was white and corroded, and the connectors were full of green oxidation. Water intrusion had destroyed the circuit board. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. This simple replacement saved the customer from further guesswork and got their work truck back on the road the same day.
The Critical Advantage: Programmed for YOUR Vehicle
Replacing an FPCM isn’t just a simple swap. A new, unprogrammed module from the parts store or dealer is just a paperweight; it requires expensive, specialized tools to flash it to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We eliminate that entire step. By providing us with your VIN during checkout, our technicians will program this 2008-2009 Yukon XL 1500 FPCM with the most current GM-approved calibration. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and optimal fuel system performance from the moment you install it.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
This is a repair most DIYers can handle with basic tools in their driveway. The FPCM is typically located on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the FPCM mounted to the vehicle’s frame. You may need to lower the spare tire for better access.
- Disconnect Electrical Connectors: Carefully press the release tabs and pull the electrical connectors straight out. Inspect them for any corrosion and clean if necessary.
- Remove Mounting Bolts: Use a socket and ratchet to remove the bolts holding the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM and tighten the bolts securely.
- Reconnect and Secure: Plug the electrical connectors back in until they click. Reconnect the battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN is required so we can program the module with the exact software and calibrations from GM for your specific truck or SUV. This ensures it works correctly right out of the box.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes! Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, no further programming is needed. Simply install it, connect it, and you’re ready to go. You will not need to visit a dealer.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Yukon XL?
On the 2008-2009 Yukon XL 1500, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted on the inside of the driver-side frame rail, often near the spare tire area.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
Yes, a P069E code is one of the most common diagnostic trouble codes indicating a failure within the Fuel Pump Control Module. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct fix for this code.
What happens if I install an unprogrammed module?
An unprogrammed module will not operate the fuel pump correctly, or at all. Your vehicle will not start. The module must be electronically matched to the vehicle, which is the service we provide before shipping.
