Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation, or a complete no-start condition? Before you suspect the fuel pump itself, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen these modules fail countless times, leaving drivers stranded. This module, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the electronic brain that precisely manages the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, fuel delivery becomes erratic, leading to a host of engine performance problems.
We offer a definitive, hassle-free solution. This is a direct-replacement FPCM that comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Forget expensive trips to the dealership for programming or the need for specialized scan tools. We handle the complex part for you. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we will flash the module with the latest, most stable software from General Motors. This ensures optimal performance and communication with your vehicle’s other computer systems right out of the box. This is the most efficient way to get your truck or SUV back on the road.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2009 GMC Acadia that came into the shop on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the vehicle would still crank and never start. He was frustrated and had spent hundreds on the wrong part. A quick scan showed a U0109 ‘Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module’ code. We located the FPCM on the frame rail, and it was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. We installed one of our VIN-programmed modules, and the engine fired up on the first try. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the controller first saves significant time and money.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump. Look for these common warning signs before replacing more expensive components. A faulty 2009 Traverse Fuel Pump Control Module will often trigger specific issues:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving, especially under load.
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light illuminated with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. On the 2009 Traverse, the module is typically located on the rear crossmember, making it accessible without dropping the fuel tank. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle’s location.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most GM trucks and SUVs, it’s mounted to the frame rail on the driver’s side, near the spare tire. For the Traverse, check the rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as they can become brittle. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming required.
