Restore Your Vehicle’s Reliability and Performance
Is your 2009 GMC Acadia or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating and unpredictable issues like stalling, cranking but not starting, or a sudden loss of power? As a technician with over two decades of diagnostic experience, I can tell you that a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is one of the most common culprits for these exact symptoms. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a safety concern. A vehicle that stalls in traffic is a serious hazard. This replacement FPCM is the definitive solution to get you back on the road with confidence.
This module, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the electronic brain that precisely manages the voltage sent to your in-tank fuel pump. When it fails, fuel pressure becomes erratic or non-existent, leading to the symptoms that are likely driving you nuts. We take the guesswork and extra cost out of the repair. Unlike a generic part from a big-box store, this module arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle using your VIN. This means no expensive trip to the dealership for programming—it’s a true plug-and-play fix.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I remember a 2008 Chevy Tahoe that came into my shop with a classic intermittent stalling complaint. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. There were no hard codes, just a ‘Reduced Engine Power’ light that would come and go. Instead of guessing, we put a scope on the FPCM. We found that on hot days, the module’s internal circuits would overheat and simply stop sending a signal to the pump. Because these modules are often mounted on the frame rail, they’re constantly subjected to heat, water, and road salt, which leads to premature failure. A new, pre-programmed FPCM like this one solved the issue permanently.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Telltale Signs?
A faulty FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, this module is your likely solution:
- âś” Engine cranks over but refuses to start.
- âś” Vehicle starts but stalls minutes later, especially when warm.
- âś” Severe hesitation or sputtering during acceleration.
- âś” The “Reduced Engine Power” message appears on your dash.
- âś” An active Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or P0627.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
One of the biggest benefits of this pre-programmed module is the ease of installation. For most DIYers with basic hand tools, this is a job you can complete in your own driveway.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning work.
- Locate the FPCM: The module’s location varies by model. On most GM trucks and large SUVs (Tahoe, Silverado, Yukon), it’s mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On crossovers (Acadia, Traverse), it’s often on a rear crossmember. A quick search for your specific model will confirm its location.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same position. Secure it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect Everything: Plug the electrical connectors back into the new module until they click securely. Reconnect your battery’s negative terminal.
- Final Check: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to let the system prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your vehicle.
Is this part difficult to install?
Not at all. Since the module comes pre-programmed, the installation is purely mechanical. It involves unplugging the old module and bolting the new one in its place. Most DIYers with basic tools can do it in under an hour.
What if I don’t have a 2009 Acadia? Will this still work?
Yes, absolutely. This FPCM fits a very wide range of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs from approximately 2007 to 2009. Please check the detailed fitment list above to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
Yes. DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Performance) is one of the most common codes indicating a failed FPCM. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for that code.
Do I need any special tools for this job?
No special tools are required. A basic socket set to remove the mounting bolts and possibly a flathead screwdriver to help release the electrical connector clips are all you should need.
