Restore Your Vehicle’s Power and Reliability
Is your 2009 Buick Enclave or other GM vehicle suddenly stalling, struggling to start, or showing a check engine light? A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), often called a fuel pump driver module, is a frequent culprit. Over my 20 years in automotive diagnostics, I’ve seen these modules cause some of the most frustrating intermittent issues. The FPCM is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, it starves the engine of fuel, leading to poor performance, hesitation, and eventually, a no-start condition that can leave you stranded.
Don’t just replace the part; get the right solution. This isn’t just a generic module off a shelf. We provide a genuine OEM-spec FPCM, part number 25785013, that is professionally programmed with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle. All we need is your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at checkout. This critical step ensures perfect communication between the module and your vehicle’s computer system, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It’s a plug-and-play fix designed to restore factory performance and reliability right out of the box.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I remember a 2008 Chevy Tahoe that came into the shop with a classic complaint: it would randomly stall at red lights and was hard to start after refueling. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A scan showed a U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module) code that would come and go. Instead of throwing more parts at it, we inspected the FPCM, which is mounted on the driver-side frame rail on these trucks. It was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. A new, programmed FPCM fixed the issue instantly. It’s a prime example of why diagnosing the *entire* fuel system, not just the pump, is crucial.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pump Module
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light illuminated with codes like P069E, U0109, or P0230
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs (like the Tahoe or Silverado), the FPCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On vehicles like the Traverse or Enclave, it’s often on a rear crossmember. Always verify the location for your specific model.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector(s) from the old module. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing it to the frame. These can sometimes be rusted, so a little penetrating oil might be helpful.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- ✔ Reconnect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connector(s) firmly into the new module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start.

Do I need to program this module?
No. This Fuel Pump Control Module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. It is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you a trip to the dealer.
What is a VIN and why do you need it?
The VIN is your vehicle’s unique 17-digit identification number. We use it to load the exact, correct GM software for your specific model and options, ensuring flawless performance and compatibility.
Where is this module located on my vehicle?
Location varies. On most full-size trucks and SUVs, it’s on the driver-side frame rail. On crossovers like the Enclave or Acadia, it’s often on the rear crossmember. On the Saturn VUE, it’s in the right rear engine compartment. Always confirm the location for your specific vehicle before starting.
Is this the same as a Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM)?
Yes, the terms Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) and Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) are often used interchangeably for this part. It performs the same function of regulating voltage to the fuel pump.
What happens if I don’t replace a bad FPCM?
A failing FPCM will lead to progressively worse symptoms, including stalling, poor fuel mileage, and hesitation. Eventually, it will fail completely, leaving your vehicle unable to start and requiring a tow.
