Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Sputtering, or Refusing to Start?
A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is one of the most common and frequently misdiagnosed issues on many 2007-2009 GM vehicles. This small but critical component is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can leave you stranded with a vehicle that cranks but won’t start, or cause dangerous stalling and hesitation while driving. Don’t replace an expensive fuel pump assembly until you’ve considered this vital controller.
This is a direct-fit replacement Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 25785013, for your 2009 Saturn Outlook and a wide range of other GM models. The biggest challenge with replacing this part is that it requires vehicle-specific programming to function. We solve that problem for you. Simply provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) after purchase, and our technicians will program the module with the latest GM-certified software for your exact vehicle. It arrives at your door ready for a straightforward installation, saving you a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Silverado 1500 come into the shop on a tow truck. The customer was frustrated, explaining he had already replaced the fuel pump twice, but the truck would still randomly stall and then refuse to start for an hour. We hooked up our scanner and saw the dreaded P069E code: Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF. Instead of throwing another pump at it, we went straight to the FPCM mounted on the driver’s side frame rail. It was corroded and showing signs of water intrusion. We installed a new, pre-programmed module, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the entire fuel delivery system, not just the pump, saves time and money.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving, especially under load or when warm.
- ✔ Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor performance.
- ✔ Check Engine Light with fuel system codes (e.g., P069E, P0230, P025A).
- ✔ A loud whining or buzzing from the fuel pump as it receives incorrect voltage.
Your Complete 2009 Outlook Fuel Pump Module Solution
This module is the definitive solution for restoring proper fuel delivery command in your vehicle. Mounted on the frame rail or crossmember, the original FPCM is constantly exposed to road salt, water, and vibrations, which leads to internal circuit board failure over time. Our solution ensures you receive a component loaded with the most current software from GM, addressing any known drivability issues and ensuring seamless communication with your vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM). By replacing your faulty original with this VIN-programmed 2009 Outlook Fuel Pump Module, you are restoring the vehicle’s fuel system to its intended operational state.
Installation is typically straightforward for those with moderate mechanical skill. The module is often located on the driver-side frame rail on trucks and SUVs or on a rear crossmember on crossovers. Simply disconnect the negative battery terminal, unplug the electrical connectors, unbolt the old module, and install the new one in its place. Since we’ve handled the programming, there are no extra steps required. This is the most efficient way to get your vehicle back on the road reliably.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this module need to be programmed?
The Fuel Pump Control Module communicates with the main Engine Control Module (ECM) and other vehicle systems. Programming with your specific VIN ensures it has the correct software and calibration to manage fuel pressure and flow according to your vehicle’s exact engine and emissions specifications. Without it, the module won’t work correctly, if at all.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes! Because we program the module to your VIN before shipping it to you, it becomes a plug-and-play installation. You will not need to take your vehicle to a dealer or mechanic for additional programming after you receive the part.
Where is this module located on my vehicle?
Location varies by model. On most trucks and large SUVs (like the Sierra, Silverado, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade), it’s on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On crossovers (like the Acadia, Enclave, Traverse), it’s often on a rear crossmember. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle for the exact location.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the part until we receive this information, as the programming is a critical step in the process.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
The diagnostic trouble code P069E is one of the most common indicators of a failed FPCM. While you should always perform a complete diagnosis, a faulty module is the most frequent cause for this code, and replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair in most cases.
