Restore Your Truck’s Performance with a VIN-Programmed Fuel Module
If your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon, Tahoe, Sierra, or other compatible GM vehicle is experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation under acceleration, a no-start condition, or an illuminated check engine light with fuel-related codes, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common cause. This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your in-tank fuel pump. When it fails, it can leave you stranded by either starving the engine of fuel or, in some cases, running the pump continuously and causing premature wear. Don’t let a faulty module compromise your vehicle’s reliability. This is the definitive solution to get your truck back on the road with confidence.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Sierra 1500 towed in that was driving the owner crazy. It would start and run fine for a few minutes, then suddenly stall and refuse to restart for an hour. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump twice, assuming it was the issue. When we hooked up our diagnostic scanner, we saw the tell-tale code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF. We checked the module, located on the frame rail, and found it heavily corroded from road salt and moisture. A quick replacement with a pre-programmed module like this one had the truck running perfectly. The customer could have saved hundreds of dollars and a lot of frustration by diagnosing the FPCM first.
Diagnosing a Failing 2008-2009 Yukon Fuel Pump Module
The FPCM on these GM trucks and SUVs is notoriously prone to failure due to its mounting location on the frame rail, where it’s exposed to water, salt, and debris. This exposure leads to corrosion on the housing and electrical connector, causing intermittent or complete failure. This module is the direct-fit, reliable replacement you need. We take the guesswork out of the repair by programming the module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This ensures seamless communication with your vehicle’s other computers, like the Engine Control Module (ECM), for a true plug-and-play installation without requiring an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
Common Symptoms of a Bad FPCM
- ✔ Engine stalling, especially when warm or under load.
- ✔ Difficulty starting or a complete no-start condition.
- ✔ Engine hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, P0230, or P025A.
- ✔ A “Service StabiliTrak” or “Service Traction Control” message on the dash.
- ✔ Reduced engine power or “limp mode.”
- ✔ In some cases, a fuel pump that runs continuously, even with the key off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM regulates the voltage and speed of the fuel pump. Unlike older systems that ran the pump at full speed all the time, modern systems use the FPCM to deliver the precise amount of fuel the engine needs. This improves efficiency and extends the life of the fuel pump.
Why is VIN programming necessary for this part?
The FPCM must be programmed with your vehicle’s specific VIN to communicate correctly with the Engine Control Module (ECM) and other onboard systems. An unprogrammed module will not function, and the vehicle will not start. We handle this for you, so it arrives ready to install.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Yukon?
On most GM trucks and SUVs of this era, including the Yukon, Tahoe, and Silverado, the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically above or near the spare tire. Its location makes it vulnerable to road debris and corrosion.
Can I install this module myself?
Yes, this is a straightforward repair for a DIY mechanic. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connector, and removing a few bolts. Since our module comes pre-programmed, no special tools or dealer visits are required after installation.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module until we receive your VIN, as the programming is essential for the part to function. Our customer service team will contact you after your purchase to ensure we get the necessary information to prepare your part correctly.
Is this part compatible with other GM vehicles?
Yes, this FPCM fits a wide variety of GM trucks and SUVs from roughly 2007 to 2009, including the Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Silverado, Suburban, GMC Sierra, Hummer H2, and more. Please refer to the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility.
