Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
As a mechanic with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers frustrated by intermittent stalling, a car that cranks but won’t start, or the dreaded “Reduced Engine Power” light. More often than not, especially on GM vehicles from this era, the culprit isn’t the expensive fuel pump itself, but its electronic brain: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM).
This module, often mounted on the frame rail, is exposed to harsh conditionsโroad salt, water, and vibrationsโthat lead to internal corrosion and failure. When it fails, it can’t deliver the correct voltage to your fuel pump, leading to a host of fuel delivery problems. This listing is for a direct-fit, reliable replacement 2009 Outlook Fuel Pump Control Module that solves these issues for good.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
Just last month, a 2008 Silverado 1500 was towed in. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the truck still stalled randomly at red lights and sometimes wouldn’t start after sitting. A quick scan showed a P069E code stored in the computer. Instead of guessing, we went straight to the FPCM on the driver’s side frame rail. The connectors were green with corrosion. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck has run flawlessly ever since. This simple part saved the customer from another costly misdiagnosis and hours of frustration.
The Dealer-Free, Plug-and-Play Solution
The biggest headache with replacing an FPCM has always been the required programming. Typically, you’d have to install the part and then have your vehicle towed to a dealership for expensive calibration. We eliminate that step entirely. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and we will program the module with the latest GM-approved software before it even leaves our facility. It arrives at your door ready for a simple, direct installation.

Easy Installation Guide for the DIYer
Replacing your 2009 Outlook Fuel Pump Control Module is a straightforward job you can do in your own driveway. While locations vary slightly by model (e.g., frame rail on a Sierra, rear crossmember on a Traverse), the process is generally the same.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most trucks and SUVs like the Tahoe, Yukon, and Silverado, it’s mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically above the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Use a small screwdriver to release the locking tabs if needed. Then, unbolt the module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location.
- Reconnect: Firmly plug in the electrical connectors until they click into place. Applying a small amount of dielectric grease to the pins is a great pro-tip to prevent future corrosion.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start your vehicle and enjoy restored performance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How do I know if my FPCM is failing?
- Common symptoms include the engine cranking but not starting, sudden stalling while driving, engine hesitation, a “Reduced Engine Power” warning, and specific diagnostic trouble codes like P069E.
- Will this module fit my vehicle?
- This module fits a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Saturn Outlook, GMC Sierra, Chevy Silverado, Cadillac Escalade, and many more. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility.
