Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than turning the key and getting nothing, or having your engine sputter and die in traffic. For countless owners of 2007-2009 GM vehicles like the Silverado, Tahoe, and Escalade, the culprit is often a failed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This small but 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.
The Dealer-Free, Plug-and-Play Solution
Forget about expensive diagnostic fees and the hassle of getting your vehicle towed to a dealership for programming. This is a direct-fit GM Fuel Pump Control Module that arrives at your door completely programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We load it with the latest, most stable software updates from General Motors, ensuring optimal performance and reliability right out of the box. This is the simple, effective fix you’ve been looking for.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
“Just last month, a 2008 Silverado 1500 was towed in with a classic no-start condition. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. His scanner showed a P069E code, pointing to a fuel pump control module fault. We confirmed the module wasn’t sending power to the new pump. These modules are notorious for failing due to their location on the frame rail, where they’re exposed to water, salt, and corrosion. We installed a pre-programmed module, and the truck fired right up. He could have saved hundreds of dollars and a lot of frustration by checking the FPCM first.”

Simple Installation Guide for DIYers
Replacing the FPCM is a straightforward job that most DIY mechanics can handle in under an hour. The module is typically located on the driver-side frame rail or a rear crossmember.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most trucks and large SUVs, it’s bolted to the inside of the frame rail, near the spare tire. On vehicles like the Traverse or Acadia, it may be on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector. Be sure to clean any dirt or debris from the connector before plugging it into your new module. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place and securely plug in the electrical connector.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How do I know if my FPCM is failing?
- Common signs include the engine cranking but not starting, stalling while driving, hesitation under acceleration, a check engine light, and a “Service StabiliTrak” or “Service Traction Control” message, which can sometimes be triggered by fuel system voltage issues.
- What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
- An unprogrammed module will not work. The vehicle’s main computer (ECM/PCM) will not recognize it, and the fuel pump will not activate. Our pre-programming service makes this a non-issue.
- Is this compatible with my vehicle?
- This module fits a vast range of 2007-2009 GM models, including the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, Escalade, Avalanche, and many more. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility.
- What information do you need from me?
- After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we have this information to program it correctly.
- Does this replace other part numbers?
- Yes, this module is a direct replacement for part numbers 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325.
