Is Your Truck or SUV Stalling, Sputtering, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle you can’t depend on. If your 2008-2009 GM truck or SUV is experiencing sudden stalling, hesitation when you accelerate, a ‘Service Stabilitrak’ or ‘Reduced Engine Power’ message, or a no-start condition, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is the most likely culprit. This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, and when it fails, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs to run properly. Don’t let a faulty module leave you stranded. This is the reliable, straightforward solution to get your vehicle back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems, but it often triggers specific Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If you’ve scanned your vehicle and found codes like P069E, P0230, P0627, or U0109, you’ve found your problem. This module is the definitive fix for those issues and symptoms like:
- Engine cranks but won’t start
- Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls
- Severe hesitation or sputtering under acceleration
- Illuminated Check Engine Light
- ‘Reduced Engine Power’ mode activation

Expert Insight: Why These Modules Fail
As a technician, I’ve replaced hundreds of these FPCMs. Their location on the driver-side frame rail exposes them to the worst possible conditions: constant vibration, water, road salt, and dirt. Over time, this harsh environment causes the internal electronics to fail or the external connector pins to corrode. When you replace your 2008-2009 Yukon XL 1500 Fuel Pump Control Module, take a moment to inspect the wiring harness connector. Clean any corrosion with a small wire brush and apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the pins before plugging it into the new module. This simple step can prevent future connection issues and ensure a long service life.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
It’s easy! After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the module to function in your vehicle.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a very manageable job. The module is typically located on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. It’s held on by a few bolts. The most important part is ensuring the vehicle is safely supported if you need to lift it for access. Since our part is pre-programmed, there are no complicated computer steps required after installation.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed Fuel Pump Control Module will not work. The vehicle’s computer systems will not recognize it, and it will not be able to operate the fuel pump. Your vehicle will not start. Our pre-programming service makes this a non-issue.
Will this fix a “Reduced Engine Power” warning?
Yes, a faulty FPCM is one of the most common causes of the “Reduced Engine Power” message on these GM vehicles. When the main computer detects a problem with fuel delivery, it often limits engine power to prevent damage. Replacing a failing 2008-2009 Yukon XL 1500 Fuel Pump Control Module will often resolve this issue.
Does this fit vehicles other than the Yukon XL?
Absolutely. This module is the correct replacement for a wide range of 2007-2009 GM models, including the Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500, Escalade, Acadia, and more. Please check the detailed fitment list in our description to confirm it is correct for your specific vehicle.
