Is Your Yukon XL Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If your 2008 or 2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500 is experiencing frustrating issues like engine sputtering, loss of power, a persistent Check Engine Light, or a complete no-start condition, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can starve your engine of the fuel it needs, leading to a host of performance problems and leaving you stranded. Don’t replace the entire fuel pump assembly until you’ve checked this common failure point.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I once had a 2008 Sierra come in on a tow truck. The owner had already spent a fortune replacing the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the truck still wouldn’t start. He was convinced he got a bad pump. After a quick scan, I saw a U0109 code – ‘Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module’. We looked at the FPCM on the frame rail, and it was heavily corroded from road salt. We installed a new, programmed module, and the truck fired right up. It’s a classic case of diagnosing the entire system, not just the most obvious part. The FPCM is the brain, and the pump is the muscle; without the brain, the muscle can’t work.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your GM Truck or SUV
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the guesswork and the expensive trip to the dealership out of the equation. Before we ship this module, we will program it with the latest GM-certified software specifically for your vehicle using the VIN you provide. This ensures perfect communication between the FPCM, your vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM), and the fuel pump, restoring original performance and efficiency. This is a true plug-and-play fix for your 2008-2009 Yukon XL 1500 Fuel Module and many other GM vehicles.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when coming to a stop
- ✔ Rough idle or engine hesitation during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
- ✔ A whining noise from the fuel pump or no noise at all

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is essential because it allows us to load the exact, correct software from GM for your specific make, model, year, and equipment. This pre-programming step ensures the module works perfectly with your vehicle’s computer system right out of the box, eliminating the need for a dealership visit.
Where is this module located on my Yukon XL?
On the 2008-2009 Yukon XL 1500, as well as most other compatible GM trucks and SUVs, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. Its location makes it susceptible to moisture and corrosion, which is a common cause of failure.
Is this a difficult part to replace?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, this is a straightforward replacement. It usually involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connector, and removing a few bolts. Since our module comes pre-programmed, there are no complicated software steps involved. It’s a direct, plug-and-play installation.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the diagnostic trouble code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On) is one of the most common indicators of a failing FPCM. While you should always perform a complete diagnosis, replacing a faulty FPCM is the standard repair for this code.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed FPCM will not communicate correctly with your vehicle’s main computer (ECM). This will result in a no-start condition and will set communication-related trouble codes. Our service of programming the module to your VIN before shipping is crucial for a successful repair.
