Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500, or a similar GM vehicle, is experiencing frustrating fuel delivery problems, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common 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 mimic a bad fuel pump, leading to incorrect diagnoses and wasted money on parts you don’t need. This module solves the problem by providing a reliable, pre-programmed replacement that gets your vehicle running smoothly again.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2008 Sierra 1500 towed to the shop with a classic ‘crank, no start’ condition. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself but was frustrated when it didn’t fix the issue. A quick scan with our diagnostic tool revealed trouble code P069E, indicating a fault within the FPCM circuit. We located the original module on the driver’s side frame rail, a common spot for these units. It was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. After installing one of our pre-programmed modules, the truck fired up on the first try and ran perfectly. This is a classic example of why it’s crucial to diagnose the entire fuel system, not just the pump.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially when warm or under load
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power or the vehicle entering ‘limp mode’
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, P0230, P025A, or U0109
- ✔ A buzzing noise from the fuel pump or no noise at all when the key is turned
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2008-2009 Yukon XL Fuel Module
Replacing the FPCM on these vehicles used to require a trip to the dealership for expensive programming with specialized equipment. Our process eliminates that step entirely. When you purchase this module, you simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our technicians will then flash the module with the latest, most stable software directly from GM for your specific vehicle configuration. This ensures perfect communication between the FPCM, the Engine Control Module (ECM), and the fuel pump. The result is a true plug-and-play part. Simply disconnect your old module, bolt this one in its place, connect the wiring harness, and you’re back on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this module programmed by a dealer?
No. This is the primary benefit of our service. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it to you. It will arrive ready for installation, requiring no further programming.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008-2009 Yukon XL?
On most GM trucks and SUVs of this era, including the Yukon XL, Tahoe, and Silverado, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire.
What information do you need from me to program it?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit VIN. This is essential for us to load the correct GM software for your vehicle’s specific options and calibration.
Is this part compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this FPCM is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. It serves as an updated, reliable replacement for any of these original parts.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
A P069E code (‘Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF’) is a very strong indicator that the FPCM has failed. While you should always perform a complete diagnosis, replacing a faulty FPCM is the most common and effective repair for this specific code.
