Is Your Vehicle Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If your GM truck, SUV, or van is experiencing erratic engine behavior, the culprit is often a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs for any driving condition. When it fails, it can leave you stranded with a vehicle that cranks but won’t start, or cause dangerous stalling and power loss on the road.
This is a direct-fit replacement FPCM, part number 20759945, that arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We load the latest GM-certified software before shipping, addressing many of the original factory flaws. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, making it a true plug-and-play solution for both professional technicians and DIY mechanics.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Silverado 1500 towed in that would die intermittently, usually after it had been running for 20 minutes. The customer had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan revealed the infamous trouble code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF. We went straight to the FPCM, mounted on the frame rail under the driver’s side. It was caked in dirt and showed signs of corrosion. After installing one of our pre-programmed modules, the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. The pre-programming saved the customer hundreds in dealership fees and got them back on the road the same day.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start
- âś” Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially when warm or under load
- âś” Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- âś” Noticeable loss of engine power
- âś” Check Engine Light is on with codes like P069E, P0230, or P025A
- âś” “Reduced Engine Power” message on the instrument cluster
- âś” A buzzing noise from the fuel pump area or no noise at all
Why Choose Our Programmed 2008-2009 VUE Fuel Pump Module?
The original FPCMs on these GM vehicles are notorious for failure due to their placement, which exposes them to excessive heat, water, and road salt, leading to internal corrosion and electronic failure. Our solution not only replaces the faulty hardware but also ensures it’s operating on the most stable and reliable software available from the manufacturer. By providing us with your VIN during checkout, you receive a module that is perfectly matched to your vehicle’s factory specifications. Simply disconnect the battery, unbolt the old module, plug this one in, and your fuel system is restored. No special tools, no dealer appointments, no hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM is a small computer that receives commands from the main Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely controls the speed of the fuel pump. Instead of running the pump at full speed all the time, the FPCM varies the voltage to match the engine’s real-time fuel demand, which improves efficiency and extends the life of the fuel pump.
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. This is the primary benefit of our service. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. This makes the installation process simple plug-and-play, with no additional programming required.
Where is the FPCM located on my vehicle?
On most GM trucks and large SUVs like the Tahoe, Sierra, and Escalade, the FPCM is typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other vehicles like the Saturn VUE or Traverse, it may be located in the rear engine compartment or on a rear crossmember. A quick search for your specific model will confirm the exact location.
What happens if I don’t replace a failing FPCM?
A failing FPCM will lead to progressively worse symptoms. It can start with intermittent hesitation and lead to frequent stalling or a complete no-start condition, leaving you stranded. It can also cause the fuel pump to run constantly or not at all, potentially damaging the pump itself and leading to more expensive repairs.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it as a note during checkout or reply to your order confirmation email. We cannot ship your part until we receive your VIN to perform the programming service.
