Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2009 GMC Acadia, or another compatible GM vehicle, suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs, leading to frustrating and unpredictable performance issues. This replacement FPCM is your direct, reliable solution, arriving pre-programmed and ready for installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall That Fooled Everyone
I remember a 2009 Chevy Traverse that came into my shop. The owner was at his wit’s end. He’d already replaced the fuel pump at another garage, but the vehicle would still randomly stall at red lights and sometimes wouldn’t start after being parked for an hour. There were no consistent trouble codes, just a history U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module). After checking fuel pressure, which was erratic, we focused on the FPCM. These modules, often mounted on the frame rail, are exposed to brutal heat, moisture, and vibration. We swapped in a pre-programmed module, and the problem was solved instantly. It’s a classic case where throwing the most expensive part (the pump) at the problem wasn’t the answer; it was the less-obvious electronic controller.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially when warm or under load
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ “Reduced Engine Power” message on the dash
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
- ✔ A whining noise from the fuel pump area as it works erratically
The Smarter Fix: Pre-Programmed for Your VIN
One of the biggest headaches with modern auto repair is module programming. Typically, you’d have to buy a blank module, install it, and then have your vehicle towed to a dealership for an expensive programming session. We eliminate that entire process. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash this 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module with the latest, most stable software directly from GM. It arrives at your door ready to be installed, turning a complex job into a straightforward, plug-and-play repair.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs, the FPCM is mounted to the frame rail, typically on the driver’s side near the spare tire. On vehicles like the Acadia or Traverse, it may be on a rear crossmember. Consult a repair guide for your specific model’s location.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as they can become brittle. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to the frame.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Plug in the electrical connectors until they click firmly into place. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the fuel system to prime before starting the engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) allows us to flash the module with the exact software calibration specified by GM for your vehicle’s engine, transmission, and options. This ensures perfect compatibility and performance without a trip to the dealer.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, no further programming or setup is required. Once you install it physically, the repair is complete.
What does the Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM acts as a smart relay. It receives commands from the Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely controls the speed of the fuel pump. This provides optimal fuel pressure and efficiency, which a simple on/off relay cannot do.
Can a bad FPCM damage my fuel pump?
Yes, a failing FPCM can send erratic voltage to the fuel pump, causing it to overheat or work harder than necessary, which can shorten its lifespan significantly. Replacing a faulty FPCM is preventative maintenance for your fuel pump.
What happens if I don’t provide a VIN?
To ensure you receive a part that works correctly, we cannot ship the module without a VIN for programming. This policy protects you from receiving a part that won’t function in your vehicle. Please provide your VIN in the notes at checkout or message us after your purchase.
