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 faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring precise fuel pressure for optimal engine performance. When it fails, it can leave you stranded and scratching your head. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution designed to get you back on the road with confidence.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Misleading Fuel Pump
I’ve lost count of how many GM trucks and SUVs have come into my shop with a brand new, unnecessarily replaced fuel pump. The owner is frustrated because the vehicle still has the exact same issue: it cranks but won’t start, or it dies randomly in traffic. The scanner often shows a code like P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Off). The real problem, in over 90% of these cases, is this FPCM. Mounted on the frame rail, it’s exposed to years of heat, water, and vibration, leading to internal failure. This pre-programmed module is the direct fix that saves you from a costly and incorrect fuel pump replacement.
Why a Pre-Programmed Module is the Smart Choice
Standard replacement modules are just expensive paperweights until they are programmed by a dealer. That means towing your vehicle, paying dealership labor rates, and waiting for an appointment. We eliminate that entire process. By providing us with your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, we flash this module with the latest, most stable GM software specifically for your vehicle. It arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation, solving the problem correctly the first time and saving you significant time and money.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving, especially under load
- ✔ Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ “Reduced Engine Power” message on the dashboard
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes such as P069E, U0109, P0230, or P0606
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Tahoe or Silverado, you’ll find the FPCM mounted to the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On vehicles like the Acadia or Traverse, it’s often on a rear crossmember.
- ✔ Remove the Old Module: Unplug the electrical connector(s). Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the old module to the frame. It may be corroded, so have some penetrating oil handy.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into the same location. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- ✔ Connect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) do?
The FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), acts as a smart relay. It receives commands from the Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely controls the speed of the fuel pump to deliver the exact amount of fuel the engine needs. This is more efficient than older systems that ran the pump at full speed constantly.
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN is essential for us to program the module with the correct GM software and calibrations for your specific vehicle’s engine, transmission, and options. This ensures seamless communication and perfect operation right out of the box.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed module will not work. The vehicle will not recognize it, and the fuel pump will not activate, resulting in a no-start condition. Our pre-programming service solves this issue for you.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Acadia?
On the 2009 GMC Acadia and its platform mates (Traverse, Enclave), the FPCM is typically mounted to the rear subframe crossmember, accessible from underneath the vehicle.
Is this a more reliable part than the original?
Yes. This module is loaded with the latest GM software updates, which often include corrections for issues found in the original factory programming, leading to improved reliability and performance.
