Restore Power and Reliability to Your GM Truck
Is your 2007-2009 Silverado 1500, Sierra, or other GM truck experiencing sudden stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a frustrating no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the frame rail, this critical component is exposed to harsh elements, leading to corrosion and internal failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue that can leave you stranded. We offer a direct, plug-and-play solution: a replacement FPCM, part number 25854536, that comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN with the latest GM software updates.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Ghost in the Fuel System
I remember a 2008 Sierra 1500 that came into my shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the truck would still start, run for a few seconds, and then die. He was convinced he got a bad pump. After hooking up my scan tool, I saw no communication with the fuel pump module (DTC U0109). A quick visual inspection under the truck confirmed my suspicion: the original FPCM on the frame rail was heavily corroded. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. It’s a classic case I’ve seen dozens of times—the module fails, cutting power to a perfectly good fuel pump.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways, often being misdiagnosed as a bad fuel pump. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution.
- ✔ Engine cranks but won’t start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially while driving
- ✔ Hesitation or sputtering under load
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, P0606, or U0109
The Advantage of a Pre-Programmed 2007-2009 Silverado 1500 FPCM
Traditionally, replacing an FPCM meant buying the part and then paying a dealership upwards of $150 to program it to your truck. Our process eliminates that costly and time-consuming step. By providing your VIN at checkout, you receive a module that is 100% ready for installation right out of the box. We flash it with the most current GM-approved software, which often corrects the very issues that caused the original part to fail. This ensures optimal fuel pressure regulation, engine performance, and long-term reliability for your vehicle.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most Silverado/Sierra models, the FPCM is mounted to the driver-side frame rail, roughly below the driver’s door. On other GM models, its location may vary (e.g., rear crossmember).
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the two electrical connectors. Then, remove the bolts securing the old module to the frame. It may be corroded, so a little penetrating oil can help.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location.
- ✔ Reconnect Everything: Plug the two electrical connectors firmly into the new module until they click. Reconnect your battery’s negative terminal.
- ✔ Final Check: Start the vehicle. It should fire up and run smoothly, with the Check Engine Light off. The repair is complete!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this part to a dealer for programming?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific 17-digit VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready to install, saving you time and money.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Silverado?
On most GM trucks like the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, and Suburban, the module is mounted on the outside of the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire.
Is this different from the fuel pump?
Yes. The fuel pump is located inside your fuel tank. This module is the computer that controls the fuel pump, telling it how fast to run to maintain proper fuel pressure.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will need the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from your truck. You can find it on your dashboard (viewable through the windshield) or on the driver’s door jamb sticker.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
Yes, a faulty FPCM is the most common cause of a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) on these vehicles. Replacing it with our programmed unit is the correct repair.
