Restore Your Engine’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2009 GMC Acadia or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating and potentially dangerous issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded. In my 20+ years in the shop, I’ve seen these modules fail frequently due to exposure to heat, moisture, and vibration, as they are often mounted on the vehicle’s frame rail.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We take the guesswork and extra cost out of the repair by pre-programming this module specifically for your vehicle using your VIN. This means it arrives with the latest GM software updates already installed, ready for a straightforward installation. You get to skip the expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you both time and money. This is the definitive fix to get your vehicle running smoothly and reliably again.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall
A customer brought in their ’09 Acadia with a problem that was driving them crazy: it would randomly stall at low speeds, usually in traffic, but would always restart after a few minutes. There were no consistent check engine light codes, making it a diagnostic headache. We checked fuel pressure, and it was erratic. Instead of immediately blaming the fuel pump, we hooked up a scope to the FPCM output. We saw the voltage to the pump drop out completely right before the engine would die. The module itself was overheating and failing intermittently. A new, properly programmed 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module solved the problem permanently. This is a fix I’ve performed hundreds of times on these GM platforms.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
- âś” Engine stalls unexpectedly, especially when warm or at low speeds.
- âś” Extended cranking time before the engine starts.
- âś” Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- âś” Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- âś” Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- âś” A complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- âś” Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- âś” Locate the Module: On most vehicles like the Acadia or Traverse, the FPCM is mounted to the rear subframe crossmember. On trucks like the Silverado or Sierra, it’s typically on the driver-side frame rail near the spare tire.
- âś” Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the old module to the frame.
- âś” Install the New Module: Bolt the new module into place. Ensure it is securely fastened to prevent issues from vibration.
- âś” Connect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connectors into your new 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no additional programming required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN?
After completing your purchase, simply reply to your order confirmation email with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we receive your VIN for programming.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes! Because we program the module to your specific VIN before shipping, it is a direct, plug-and-play installation. No dealer visit or special scan tools are required.
Will this fix my P069E code?
DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is a very common code for a failing FPCM. While you should always perform a full diagnosis, a faulty module is the most frequent cause, and this part is the correct solution.
What if I have one of the other part numbers listed?
This module is a direct supersession and is fully compatible with all part numbers listed in the description, including 13501024, 20759945, and 25866052. It contains the latest hardware and software corrections from GM.
Where is this module located on my 2009 Acadia?
On the 2009 GMC Acadia and similar platforms like the Traverse and Enclave, the FPCM is typically mounted on the rear crossmember, making it accessible without removing the fuel tank.
