Restore Power and Reliability to Your GM Vehicle
Is your truck or SUV suffering from frustrating issues like stalling, extended cranking times, or a persistent Check Engine Light? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless vehicles roll into the bay with these exact symptoms. The FPCM, often mounted on the frame rail, is vulnerable to moisture and corrosion, leading to erratic fuel pressure and engine performance problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue that can leave you stranded.
This Fuel Pump Control Module is the definitive solution. We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the repair. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and our experts will program the module with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle. It arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation, restoring precise fuel delivery and getting you back on the road with confidence. Don’t let a small electronic module sideline your vehicle—fix it right the first time.
Is Your GM Truck or SUV Showing These Signs?
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Engine stalls unexpectedly, especially under load or when coming to a stop.
- ✔ Vehicle takes longer than usual to start (long crank).
- ✔ Intermittent no-start condition.
- ✔ Engine hesitation or sputtering during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or P0606.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I remember a 2009 GMC Acadia that came in on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself but was still dealing with an intermittent no-start and stalling issue. He was frustrated and out of money. After a quick scan, I pulled code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Off. Instead of going straight for the pump again, I went to the FPCM, which on the Acadia is mounted to the rear subframe. It was covered in road salt and grime. A quick wiggle of the connector caused the fuel pump to prime, confirming a bad module/connection. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the vehicle fired right up and ran perfectly. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the whole system saves time and avoids replacing good parts.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Control Module is a job most DIYers can handle in their own driveway. The specific location varies by model (see fitment list), but the process is generally the same.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most GM trucks and SUVs (Tahoe, Silverado, Sierra), it’s mounted on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On vehicles like the Acadia or Traverse, it’s often on the rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as they can become brittle. Then, unbolt the module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Ensure it’s securely fastened.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new FPCM. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock in place.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds to allow the system to initialize before starting the engine.

Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Modern vehicles use specific software calibrations for optimal performance, fuel economy, and emissions. Providing your VIN allows us to program this module with the exact, most current GM software for your specific vehicle configuration. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box, eliminating the need for a dealer visit.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes! Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, it is completely plug-and-play. No additional programming or calibration is required. Simply install it, and you’re ready to go.
Can I use a module from a junkyard?
We strongly advise against it. A used module will be programmed to the VIN of the donor vehicle, which will likely cause communication errors, poor performance, or a no-start condition in your vehicle. Our new, correctly programmed module is the only way to guarantee a proper, lasting repair.
What is the most common cause of FPCM failure?
From my experience, the number one cause is environmental exposure. Most of these modules are mounted on the vehicle’s frame or subframe, where they are constantly exposed to water, road salt, and debris. This leads to corrosion of the housing, connectors, and internal circuit board, causing failure.
