Restore Your Vehicle’s Fuel System Performance
Is your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500, or another compatible GM truck or SUV, experiencing frustrating fuel-related issues? Symptoms like engine cranking but not starting, stalling while driving, hesitation under acceleration, or a check engine light with codes like P069E or P0230 often point to a single, critical component: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This module is the brain of your fuel delivery system, regulating the voltage sent to the fuel pump to ensure precise pressure and flow. When it fails, your vehicle can be left unreliable or completely immobile.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine OEM module and program it with the latest GM-certified software specifically for your vehicle. All we need is your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) after you complete your purchase. This critical step eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you both time and money. By installing our pre-programmed Yukon XL Fuel Pump Module, you are restoring the factory-intended operation and reliability of your fuel system.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Sierra 1500 towed in that was a classic “crank, no start.” The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, assuming it was the culprit, but the problem persisted. He was frustrated and out a few hundred dollars. We hooked up our diagnostic scanner and saw no communication with the FPCM and a P069E code stored. A quick check of the module, located on the frame rail, revealed heavy corrosion on the casing and connectors—a very common issue. We installed a pre-programmed module, and the truck fired up on the first try. It’s a textbook example of why diagnosing the entire system is key; often, the problem isn’t the pump, but the module that controls it.
Key Symptoms of a Failing 2008-2009 Yukon XL Fuel Pump Module
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways, often being misdiagnosed as a bad fuel pump. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your fuel pump control module is a likely suspect:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially when warm
- ✔ Loss of power or hesitation during acceleration
- ✔ Rough or unstable idle
- ✔ Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated with fuel-related DTCs (e.g., P069E, P0230, P025A, U0109)
- ✔ Reduced fuel economy
- ✔ A noticeable whining sound from the fuel pump as it runs at full power constantly
Plug-and-Play Installation Process
Our goal is to make your repair as straightforward as possible. Because we program the module to your specific VIN before shipping, the installation is simplified. Once you receive the part, you can typically mount it in the factory location (often on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire), connect the electrical harnesses, and you’re done. There are no additional programming steps or expensive scan tools required. This is the most efficient way to get your truck or SUV back on the road with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM is a small computer that receives commands from the main Engine Control Module (ECM). Based on engine load, speed, and other factors, it precisely controls the speed of the electric fuel pump by varying the voltage it supplies. This ensures optimal fuel pressure and efficiency, unlike older systems where the pump ran at full speed all the time.
Why does this module need to be programmed to my VIN?
Modern vehicles use a CAN bus network where modules constantly communicate. Programming the FPCM with your vehicle’s specific VIN allows it to be recognized by the ECM and other systems. Without correct programming, the module will not function, and the vehicle will not start. Our pre-programming service handles this for you.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Yukon XL?
On most GM full-size trucks and SUVs from this era, including the Yukon XL, Tahoe, and Silverado, the FPCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, typically above or near the spare tire. It’s exposed to the elements, which is a primary reason for its high failure rate due to moisture and corrosion.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we handle the programming before shipment, you will not need any special tools or a trip to the dealer. Simply disconnect the battery, unbolt the old module, install the new one, reconnect the electrical connectors, and reconnect the battery. The vehicle should start and run correctly.
My old module has a different part number. Will this still work?
Yes, as long as your original part number is on our compatibility list (e.g., 13501024, 20759945, 25854536, etc.). GM often supersedes part numbers over time. Our module is compatible with all the numbers listed and is loaded with the latest software for all of them.
