Restore Your GM Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon, Silverado, or Tahoe experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a dreaded no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen this exact scenario countless times. These modules, often mounted on the frame rail, are exposed to harsh elements, leading to internal corrosion and failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue that can leave you stranded.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the hassle and expense out of the repair by pre-programming this module to your vehicle’s specific VIN with the latest GM software updates. This means you can skip the costly trip to the dealership for programming. You get a direct-fit module that communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s computer system right out of the box, restoring precise fuel pressure control for optimal engine performance and efficiency.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent Stall Mystery
I remember a 2008 Sierra 1500 that came into my bay with a problem that drove the owner crazy. It would run fine for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight or hesitate badly when merging onto the highway. There were no consistent codes, just an occasional P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On). We checked fuel pressure, which was erratic. Instead of a costly fuel pump replacement, we inspected the FPCM on the driver’s side frame rail. It looked fine externally, but we knew from experience that moisture gets inside. We swapped it with a pre-programmed module like this one, and the truck ran perfectly. The customer saved hundreds on diagnostic time and an unnecessary pump replacement.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start
- âś” Stalling, especially when the engine is warm or under load
- âś” Severe hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- âś” Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- âś” Check Engine Light (CEL) with fuel system codes such as P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle in their own driveway. Our pre-programmed module makes it a true plug-and-play repair.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs (like the Yukon, Tahoe, Silverado), the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically above the spare tire. On other models, it may be on a rear crossmember or in the engine bay.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and tighten the fasteners securely.
- Reconnect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connectors back in until they click. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Start the Engine: Your vehicle should now start and run smoothly with restored fuel control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming after I receive this module?
No. This is the biggest benefit of our service. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping it. It arrives ready for a plug-and-play installation, saving you a trip to the dealer.
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 is crucial for us to load the correct GM software for your specific vehicle.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Yukon?
On the 2008-2009 GMC Yukon, the Fuel Pump Control Module is located on the outside of the driver’s side frame rail, just forward of the rear axle and typically above the spare tire.
Is this a better option than replacing the fuel pump?
In many cases, yes. The FPCM is a common failure point and is much easier and less expensive to replace than the in-tank fuel pump. If you have symptoms like stalling or a P069E code, the FPCM is the most likely culprit and the best place to start your repair.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, the Diagnostic Trouble Code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On) is one of the most common indicators of a failed FPCM. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct fix for that code.
