Restore Your Truck’s Reliability and Performance
Is your 2008-2009 Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Silverado, or GMC Sierra suffering from frustrating and unpredictable engine problems? Symptoms like stalling at intersections, extended cranking time, or a complete no-start condition often point directly to a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), regulates the voltage to your fuel pump. When it fails, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs, leaving you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a safety concern.
We offer a dependable and straightforward solution. This FPCM is a direct-fit replacement for your original module. The best part? We handle the programming for you. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest, most stable software updates from GM. This means it arrives at your door ready for a simple, plug-and-play installation, saving you a costly trip to the dealership and hundreds of dollars in programming fees.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Case of the Stalling Suburban
I remember a 2008 Suburban that came into my shop with a tricky complaint: it would run fine for days, then suddenly stall in traffic and refuse to restart for 20 minutes. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. There were no hard codes, just a stored U0109 (Lost Communication with FPCM) and P069E history code. Instead of just throwing another part at it, I monitored the FPCM command signal on my scan tool. I saw the voltage command drop to zero right before it stalled. The module, mounted on the frame rail, had suffered from years of exposure to road salt and moisture, causing internal corrosion. A new, properly programmed FPCM fixed it for good. This is a repair I’ve done hundreds of times on these GM platforms.
Is Your GM Truck or SUV Showing These Signs?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, especially when coming to a stop or at idle
- ✔ Engine hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the 2008-2009 Escalade FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle in their driveway with basic tools. Because we program it beforehand, no special electronic tools are needed.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most of these trucks and SUVs, the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as they can become brittle. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a click as they lock into place.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this FPCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready to install, saving you time and money.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you must provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the part without it, as the programming is vehicle-specific.
Where is the fuel pump control module located on my 2009 Tahoe?
On most GM trucks and SUVs like the Tahoe, Escalade, and Silverado, the FPCM is mounted on the outside of the driver’s side frame rail, typically above the spare tire area.
Is this a common failure on these GM trucks?
Yes, it is a very common point of failure. The module’s location on the frame exposes it to water, salt, and road debris, which can lead to corrosion and internal electronic failure over time.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
In most cases, yes. The DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is a direct indicator that the FPCM has detected a fault and is the most common code associated with its failure.
