Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2009 Saturn Outlook, or another GM truck or SUV, suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? The culprit is often a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can lead to erratic fuel pressure, causing a host of drivability problems that can leave you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a matter of reliability. Don’t let a small electronic module dictate when and where your vehicle runs.
We offer a dependable and straightforward solution. This is a direct-replacement FPCM, part number 25866052, that comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means it arrives at your door ready for installation, with the latest GM software updates already loaded. You get to skip the expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you both time and money.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in their 2008 Silverado 1500 with a frustrating issue: it would run fine for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight and refuse to restart for 20 minutes. There were no consistent check engine lights, but a deep scan pulled a history code: U0109 – Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module. We checked the wiring and found no issues. The problem was the FPCM itself. These modules, often mounted on the frame rail, are exposed to water, salt, and vibrations, leading to internal corrosion and intermittent failure. Replacing the module with a pre-programmed unit like this one provided an immediate, permanent fix. We’ve seen this exact scenario on dozens of GM trucks and SUVs.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty fuel pump control module could be the reason. A failing module can often mimic a bad fuel pump, so proper diagnosis is key. Look out for:
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start
- âś” Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially when warm or under load
- âś” Noticeable hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- âś” Reduced engine power and poor performance
- âś” An active Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, U0109, P0230, or P0627
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
One of the biggest benefits of this module is its simple, plug-and-play installation. Because we program it for you, no special tools or dealer visits are required.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most GM trucks and SUVs (like the Silverado, Tahoe, or Escalade), it’s mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On other models (like the Traverse or Acadia), it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, unbolt the module from the frame. It’s typically held on by two or three small bolts.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Ensure it is mounted securely.
- Reconnect and Finish: Plug the electrical connectors back into the new FPCM. Reconnect your battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start with restored fuel system performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN is required so we can program the module with the exact software and calibrations for your specific make, model, and engine. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s main computer (PCM) and eliminates the need for a dealer to program it.
What does the Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM regulates the voltage and speed of the fuel pump. Modern vehicles use this to precisely control fuel pressure for better efficiency and performance, rather than running the pump at full speed all the time.
Is this part difficult to install for a DIYer?
Not at all. If you can use a basic wrench and locate the module on your vehicle’s frame, you can perform this repair. The most significant benefit is that our pre-programming makes it a true plug-and-play installation.
Will this fix a check engine light for code P069E?
Yes, P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common diagnostic trouble codes indicating a faulty FPCM. While you should always confirm the diagnosis, this module is the primary fix for that code.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed module will not communicate with your vehicle’s other computers. This will typically result in a no-start condition and set communication-related trouble codes, requiring a tow to a facility with programming capabilities.
