Restore Power and Reliability to Your GM Truck or SUV
Is your 2008-2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500, Silverado, or Tahoe suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Located on the frame rail, these modules are constantly exposed to water, salt, and road debris, leading to internal corrosion and failure. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that can leave you stranded. This replacement FPCM, part number 25785013, is the definitive, long-term solution to get your vehicle running reliably again.
We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the equation. Unlike a standard replacement part that requires a trip to the dealer for expensive programming, this module arrives at your door ready for installation. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest, most stable software directly from GM. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s computer and optimal fuel system performance from the moment you plug it in.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Misdiagnosed Fuel Pump
I remember a customer with a 2008 Sierra 1500 who was at his wit’s end. His truck would crank but not start, and sometimes it would die while driving. He had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump twice, assuming it was faulty. When he brought it to my bay, the first thing I checked wasn’t the pump pressure, but the FPCM. Tucked away on the driver-side frame rail, it was caked in mud and the aluminum housing was heavily corroded. A quick scan showed DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF). We swapped in a pre-programmed FPCM, and the truck fired up instantly and ran perfectly. It’s a classic case where a $150 module failure mimics a $500+ fuel pump job. Always check the FPCM first on these GM platforms.
Key Indicators of a Failing Fuel Pump Control Module
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load
- ✔ Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ “Reduced Engine Power” message on the dashboard
- ✔ Active Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or P0627
- ✔ A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump that is inconsistent
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most compatible trucks and SUVs (like the Yukon, Tahoe, Silverado), the FPCM is mounted to the frame crossmember, typically above the spare tire on the driver’s side.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle, as the plastic clips can become brittle over time. Then, remove the bolts or nuts (usually 2 or 3) holding the old module to the frame.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location. It’s often a good idea to apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the connector pins to protect against future moisture intrusion.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Securely plug in the electrical connectors until they click. Reconnect the battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the system to prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN allows us to program the module with the exact software calibration your specific vehicle requires. This ensures seamless communication with the ECU and other systems, preventing compatibility issues and error codes. It makes the part truly plug-and-play.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a very manageable job. It typically involves removing a few bolts and unplugging a connector. The most difficult part is often accessing the module, which may require lowering the spare tire.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed module will likely result in a no-start condition, incorrect fuel pressure, and will set diagnostic trouble codes. The vehicle will not operate correctly until the module is programmed with a GM-specific scan tool.
Is this module compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this FPCM is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 13501024, 20759945, 25866052, and 25967325, among others. It’s an updated design that consolidates older versions.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2008 Yukon XL?
On the 2008-2009 Yukon XL 1500, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the rear axle and often above the spare tire.
