Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re experiencing frustrating fuel delivery issues with your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon, Chevy Tahoe, Cadillac Escalade, or another compatible GM vehicle, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common culprit. This small but critical computer is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the exact amount of fuel it needs under all driving conditions. When it fails, it can leave you stranded with symptoms that are often misdiagnosed as a bad fuel pump, leading to costly and unnecessary repairs.
This replacement Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 25854536, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s reliability and performance. Unlike modules that require a trip to the dealership for expensive programming, this unit arrives at your door completely pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We install the latest GM-certified software updates, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility right out of the box. This is a true plug-and-play fix that saves you time, money, and the headache of scheduling a dealer appointment.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Silverado 1500 towed in with a classic ‘crank, no-start’ condition. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, assuming it was the problem, but the truck still wouldn’t fire up. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner, we saw trouble code P069E – ‘Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF.’ Instead of throwing more parts at it, we inspected the FPCM located on the frame rail. It was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. We installed a new, VIN-programmed module, cleared the codes, and the truck started instantly. The customer could have saved hundreds of dollars and a weekend of frustration by diagnosing the FPCM first.
Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pump Control Module
- ✔ Engine Stalling: The engine may stall unexpectedly while driving or at idle due to inconsistent fuel pressure.
- ✔ Crank, No-Start Condition: The engine turns over but won’t start because the fuel pump isn’t being activated.
- ✔ Hesitation or Stumbling: The vehicle may hesitate or stumble during acceleration as the module struggles to command the correct fuel flow.
- ✔ Reduced Power and Poor Fuel Economy: Inefficient fuel delivery can lead to a noticeable loss of power and an increase in fuel consumption.
- ✔ Check Engine Light: Common diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) associated with a failing FPCM include P069E, P0230, and U0109.
- ✔ Loud Fuel Pump: An FPCM that is failing may send erratic voltage, causing the in-tank fuel pump to whine or buzz loudly.
The Importance of a VIN-Programmed 2008-2009 Yukon Fuel Pump Module
Modern vehicles like your GM truck or SUV rely on a network of computers to operate correctly. The FPCM must communicate seamlessly with the Engine Control Module (ECM) and other systems. Our professional programming service ensures this vital communication link is perfectly established for your specific vehicle. By providing us with your VIN during checkout, you guarantee that the module you receive is loaded with the correct software, calibrations, and the very latest updates from General Motors. This process eliminates compatibility issues and ensures your fuel system operates exactly as the manufacturer intended.

Simple Installation Process
Installation is straightforward for the DIY mechanic. The FPCM is typically located on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. After disconnecting the vehicle’s battery, simply unplug the two electrical connectors, unbolt the old module, and bolt the new one in its place. Reconnect the connectors and the battery, and you’re ready to go. No special tools or programming equipment are required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this module need to be programmed to my VIN?
The Fuel Pump Control Module is a computer that needs the correct software and calibration files to communicate with your vehicle’s main computer (ECM). Programming with your VIN ensures it has the exact information for your specific engine, transmission, and emissions equipment, guaranteeing proper function and preventing compatibility errors.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Yukon?
On most 2007-2009 GM trucks and SUVs, including the Yukon, Tahoe, and Silverado, the FPCM is mounted to the frame crossmember on the driver’s side, typically above or near the spare tire. Its location exposes it to the elements, which is a primary reason for its high failure rate.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
We cannot ship your order without a VIN. The programming process is the most critical step in ensuring you receive a part that works correctly. We will contact you after your purchase to remind you. Providing your VIN during checkout is the fastest way to get your part shipped.
Will this module fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) is one of the most common codes indicating a failed FPCM. While you should always perform a complete diagnosis, replacing a faulty FPCM is the standard repair for this code.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For most individuals with basic mechanical skills, this is a relatively simple installation. It typically involves removing a few bolts and unplugging two electrical connectors. Since our module comes pre-programmed, there is no software or computer work required on your end, making it a straightforward bolt-in replacement.
