Restore Your Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2008-2009 Cadillac Escalade, or another compatible GM truck, suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? The problem often isn’t the fuel pump itself, but the critical component that controls it: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless vehicles sidelined by this exact issue. This module is the brain of your fuel delivery system, and when it fails, it can leave you stranded. We offer a direct, reliable solution: a genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 25967325, delivered to your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump, leading to misdiagnosis. Before you spend time and money dropping the fuel tank, check if your vehicle is exhibiting these classic signs of a module failure. In my shop, these symptoms almost always point to the FPCM, especially if you see diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P069E.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls
- ✔ Severe hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Loss of engine power, sometimes triggering a “Reduced Power” message
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in his ’08 Sierra 1500 with a classic no-start complaint. He had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the truck still wouldn’t fire up. He was frustrated and out of ideas. Hooking up my scan tool, I saw no fuel pressure command from the ECU. I went straight to the FPCM, located on the driver-side frame rail. Just as I suspected, years of exposure to road salt and moisture had completely corroded the module and its connector. It’s a common failure point I’ve seen hundreds of times. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired up on the first try. This simple part saved him from further incorrect repairs and got him back to work.
The Advantage of a Pre-Programmed Module
Replacing an FPCM isn’t just a matter of swapping parts. A new module from the dealership is a blank slate; it requires special tools and a subscription to GM’s software to program it to your vehicle. This means a tow to the dealer and hundreds in labor and programming fees. Our service eliminates that entire process. You provide your VIN during checkout, and we flash the module with the latest, most stable GM software specifically for your truck. When it arrives, it’s a true plug-and-play installation, saving you significant time, money, and hassle. This is the most efficient solution for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. The most common location is on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- 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 Escalade or Silverado, it’s mounted to the outside of the frame, just ahead of the rear axle.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Be gentle, as the plastic can become brittle. Then, unbolt the module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Ensure the electrical connector clicks securely into its socket. A dab of dielectric grease on the pins is always a good idea for corrosion prevention.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds to allow the system to initialize before starting the engine. Your vehicle should now start and run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping it. It arrives ready for a simple, plug-and-play installation, saving you a trip to the dealership and expensive programming fees.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Escalade?
On the 2008-2009 Escalade, Tahoe, and similar GM SUVs/trucks, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire location.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). This ensures we load the correct GM software for a perfect match.
Is this different from the fuel pump?
Yes. The fuel pump is the mechanical pump located inside your fuel tank. This Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is the electronic computer that tells the fuel pump how much pressure to generate. The module often fails before the pump itself.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common indicators of a failed FPCM. Replacing the module is the standard, correct repair for this fault code.
