Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine performance issues like sudden stalling, sputtering under acceleration, or a complete no-start condition in your 2008-2009 GM vehicle, the culprit is often not the fuel pump itself, but its electronic brain: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This small but critical component regulates the voltage sent to the fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and scratching your head.
Don’t waste time and money replacing the entire fuel pump assembly when this pre-programmed FPCM is the direct-fit solution. We take the guesswork and dealer-dependency out of the repair. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and we will flash this module with the latest, most stable software from General Motors specifically for your truck, SUV, or van. It arrives at your door ready for a simple, plug-and-play installation.

A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
“A customer brought in his 2008 Silverado 1500 with a classic no-start complaint. He had already spent a weekend replacing the in-tank fuel pump, only for the problem to persist. After a quick scan, I saw the P069E code—a dead giveaway for the FPCM. These modules are mounted on the frame rail and are constantly exposed to water, salt, and vibration, causing internal corrosion and failure. We swapped in a VIN-programmed module in under 20 minutes, and the truck fired right up. Always check the FPCM before condemning the fuel pump; it can save you hundreds of dollars and a lot of unnecessary work.”
Easy Installation Guide: Get Back on the Road Fast
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Old Module: On most trucks and large SUVs (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Escalade), you’ll find the FPCM mounted to the driver-side frame rail, typically near the spare tire. On other models like the Traverse or Colorado, it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector(s) from the old module. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding it to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. It’s crucial to clean the mounting surface and the electrical connector pins with a contact cleaner to ensure a solid connection and ground.
- Reconnect and Test: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module. Reconnect the battery terminal, turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to prime the system, and then start your engine.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I know if my Fuel Pump Control Module is bad?
A: Common signs include the engine stalling unexpectedly, especially while driving, hesitation, reduced power, and a Check Engine Light. You may also see specific trouble codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109 stored in the computer.
Q: What does ‘VIN Programmed’ mean for this 2008-2009 GM Fuel Pump Module?
A: It means we use your specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to load the exact GM-certified software and calibrations for your vehicle’s configuration. This ensures perfect communication between the module and your vehicle’s other computers, eliminating the need for any additional programming.
Q: Is this part difficult to install myself?
A: For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a straightforward repair. The module is typically in an accessible location on the vehicle’s frame and involves unplugging a connector and removing a few bolts. No complex procedures are required since the programming is already done.
Q: Will this fit my 2007 Silverado?
A: Yes, this module fits the 2007 ‘new style’ Silverado and Sierra pickups (with the smooth door skin). It also fits a very wide range of 2008-2009 GM trucks, vans, and SUVs. Please check the detailed fitment list to confirm for your specific model.
Q: Does this replace other part numbers?
A: Absolutely. This module is a direct, compatible replacement for several part numbers, including 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, and 25967325, among others.
