Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Cranking but Not Starting, or Showing a Check Engine Light?
If you’re experiencing erratic engine behavior in your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon, Chevy Tahoe, Silverado, or other compatible GM vehicle, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common culprit. This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is responsible for regulating the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can starve your engine of fuel, leading to a host of frustrating and potentially dangerous driving issues. Don’t let a small electronic module leave you stranded. This is the direct-fit, pre-programmed solution you need to restore your vehicle’s reliability and performance.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I once had a 2008 Silverado 1500 towed in with a classic ‘crank-no-start’ condition. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the truck still wouldn’t fire up. He was convinced he got a bad pump. After a quick scan, I found code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Off. Instead of checking fuel pressure at the rail, I went straight to the FPCM on the driver-side frame rail. It was covered in corrosion from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. A new, programmed module had the truck running perfectly in under 20 minutes. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the control side of the circuit saves you from replacing a perfectly good, and much more expensive, fuel pump.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine Stalling: The engine may stall unexpectedly while driving or at idle due to inconsistent fuel delivery.
- ✔ Crank, No Start: The engine will turn over but won’t start because the fuel pump isn’t being activated.
- ✔ Check Engine Light: Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P069E, P0230, or U0109 are strong indicators of an FPCM failure.
- ✔ Reduced Engine Power: Your vehicle may go into ‘limp mode’ with a “Reduced Engine Power” message on the dash.
- ✔ Hesitation on Acceleration: The vehicle may stumble or hesitate when you press the gas pedal, as the fuel demand isn’t being met.
- ✔ Rough Idle: An unstable idle can be caused by fluctuating fuel pressure from a faulty module.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
Absolutely not! That’s the primary benefit of our service. We program the module to your specific VIN before we ship it. It will arrive ready for a plug-and-play installation, saving you the cost and hassle of a dealership visit.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Yukon or Silverado?
On most GM trucks and full-size SUVs from this era, the Fuel Pump Control Module is mounted to the driver-side frame rail, typically above or near the spare tire. It’s exposed to the elements, which is a common reason for its failure.
What information do you need from me to program the module?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. This allows us to flash the module with the exact software and calibrations for your specific make, model, and options.
Is this part compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for several GM part numbers, including 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. If your original module has any of these numbers, this part will work for you.
How is this different from the fuel pump inside the gas tank?
The in-tank fuel pump is a mechanical pump that moves gasoline from the tank to the engine. This Fuel Pump Control Module is the ‘brain’ that tells the fuel pump how fast to run. It’s an external electronic controller, not the pump itself.
