Restore Your Vehicle’s Reliability and Performance
Is your truck or SUV suddenly stalling, refusing to start, or showing a ‘Reduced Engine Power’ message? These are frustrating and often dangerous symptoms of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how a faulty FPCM can leave you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure in your vehicle’s fuel delivery system. The FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, your engine is starved of fuel, leading to a host of performance issues.
This module, part number 20850907, is your direct-fit, reliable solution. The biggest hurdle with replacing these modules has always been the mandatory, and expensive, trip to the dealership for programming. We eliminate that step entirely. By providing us with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at checkout, our experts will program the module with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle. It arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation, saving you hundreds in dealer fees and diagnostic time.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2008 Silverado 1500 that came into my bay on a tow truck. The owner said it would crank but never start, and sometimes it would die while he was driving. He had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the obvious culprit, but the problem persisted. A quick scan revealed DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Performance). I knew exactly where to look. On these GM trucks, the FPCM is often mounted on the frame rail, exposed to road salt, water, and debris. Sure enough, the original module’s casing was corroded, and the connector pins were green with oxidation. We installed a new, pre-programmed module, and the truck fired up on the first try. This is a classic failure I’ve diagnosed hundreds of times.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems. Here are the most common indicators that point directly to this module. If you’re experiencing any of these, a faulty 2009 Outlook Fuel Pump Module or its equivalent in another GM model is the likely cause.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Rough or inconsistent idle
- ✔ ‘Reduced Engine Power’ warning light on the dash
- ✔ Check Engine Light (CEL) with specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module)
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
With our pre-programmed module, the installation is a simple mechanical swap that most DIYers can handle in their own driveway. Always prioritize safety when working on your vehicle.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On most compatible trucks and SUVs (like the Tahoe, Sierra, Silverado), the FPCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other vehicles (like the Traverse or Acadia), it may be on a rear crossmember. A quick search for your specific model will confirm the location.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s). Be gentle to avoid breaking the locking tabs. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame. These bolts can sometimes be rusty, so a little penetrating oil can help.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location. Ensure it is mounted securely.
- Connect and Finalize: Plug the electrical harness firmly into the new module until it clicks. Reconnect your vehicle’s battery.
- Start the Vehicle: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds to allow the system to prime, then start the engine. The vehicle should start and run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming work?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this number to access the latest official GM software for your specific vehicle and flash it onto the module before shipping. This ensures perfect compatibility.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
No special tools are required. Basic hand tools like a socket set and ratchet are all that’s needed to unbolt the old module and install the new one. The programming is already done for you.
Is this part a direct replacement for part number 25866052?
Yes, this module is a fully compatible replacement for a long list of GM part numbers, including 25866052, 20850907, 13501024, and several others listed in the description. It will function identically.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your VIN. The programming is essential for the part to function correctly in your vehicle. We will contact you after your purchase to request the VIN if it was not provided.
Where is the FPCM located on a 2009 GMC Sierra?
On a 2009 Sierra, as with most GM trucks from this era, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted to the inside of the driver-side frame rail, located forward of the spare tire.
