Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
As a mechanic with over two decades of diagnostic experience, I’ve seen countless 2008-2009 GM vehicles roll into the shop with frustrating and intermittent fuel issues. The owner has often already replaced the fuel pump, only to have the problemโstalling at a stoplight, sputtering on the highway, or a complete no-startโreturn. The real culprit is frequently the often-overlooked GM Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), and this is the definitive, hassle-free solution.
This module, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, your engine is starved of fuel, leading to poor performance and leaving you stranded. Our replacement module, part number 13501024, is the reliable fix you need to get back on the road with confidence.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
“A customer brought in his 2008 Silverado 1500. It would run fine for days, then suddenly die in traffic. He was getting a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF). Another shop quoted him for a new fuel pump, but my gut told me to check the FPCM first. I found it mounted on the driver-side frame rail, caked in mud and its aluminum casing badly corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. The corrosion had worked its way inside, destroying the circuit board. We installed a new, pre-programmed module, and the truck has run flawlessly ever since. Always check the FPCM before condemning the pump!”

Easy Installation Guide: Get it Done in Under an Hour
You don’t need to be a master mechanic to replace your GM Fuel Pump Control Module. With basic hand tools, you can have your vehicle running right in your own driveway.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Tahoe, and Yukon, the FPCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, typically above the spare tire. On other models (like the Traverse or Canyon), it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the main electrical connector. Be sure to press the release tab firmly. Then, remove the bolts holding the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Reconnect the electrical harness, ensuring it clicks securely.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and let it idle for a few minutes to confirm the repair.
