Restore Your Yukon’s Power and Reliability
Is your 2008 or 2009 GMC Yukon suffering from frustrating and potentially dangerous performance issues? Stalling at intersections, hesitating under acceleration, or refusing to start altogether are common symptoms of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This critical component, also known as a fuel pump driver module, regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded. Don’t let a faulty module dictate your driving experience.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the guesswork and extra cost out of the repair by pre-programming this module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means it arrives at your door with the latest GM software updates already installed, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for flashing. It’s the most efficient way to get your truck back to factory-spec performance.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Ghost in the Machine
A customer brought in their ’08 Yukon XL, complaining of intermittent stalling that no one could figure out. They’d already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the obvious culprit, but the problem persisted. On my diagnostic scanner, I saw erratic fuel pressure readings that didn’t match the commanded pressure from the ECU. Instead of throwing more parts at it, I went straight to the FPCM on the driver-side frame rail. These modules are exposed to road salt, water, and vibration, and I’ve seen dozens fail from internal corrosion. After installing one of our VIN-programmed modules, the fuel pressure stabilized immediately. The ‘ghost’ was gone, and the customer was back on the road with a reliable vehicle—a fix that saved them hundreds in further misdiagnosis.
Is Your Yukon Exhibiting These Failure Signs?
A failing FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems. Here are the most common indicators that point directly to this module. If you’re experiencing these, a new 2008-2009 Yukon Fuel Pump Module is the likely solution.
- ✔ Engine stalling, especially when coming to a stop or at idle
- ✔ Difficulty starting the engine or a complete no-start condition
- ✔ Engine hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ An illuminated Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. This module is typically located 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 mounted to the vehicle’s frame. It’s a small, black box with electrical connectors.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Note their orientation. Then, unbolt the module from the frame. Corrosion on the bolts is common, so a little penetrating oil can help.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Ensure it is securely mounted to the frame.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a click as they seat.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is successful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. It is a true plug-and-play solution. Just provide us with your VIN at checkout, and we handle the rest before shipping.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Yukon?
On most GM trucks and SUVs from this era, including the 2008-2009 Yukon, the Fuel Pump Control Module is mounted on the outside of the driver-side frame rail, typically above the spare tire area.
Is this the same as the fuel pump?
No. The fuel pump is located inside your fuel tank. This Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is the computer that controls the fuel pump. A bad FPCM can cause symptoms that seem like a bad fuel pump, making it a common point of misdiagnosis.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed module will not work correctly. The vehicle may not start at all, or it will set a Check Engine Light and run poorly because the FPCM cannot communicate properly with the vehicle’s other computers. Our pre-programming service prevents this entirely.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On) is one of the most common codes indicating a failure of the FPCM. Replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for that code.
