Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
You turn the key, and instead of a confident roar, you get a weak crank, a sputter, or nothing at all. Or maybe your vehicle starts but then stalls unexpectedly in traffic, creating a stressful and dangerous situation. These are classic signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), a critical component that regulates voltage to your fuel pump. When it fails, fuel delivery becomes erratic, starving your engine and leaving you stranded. Don’t waste money replacing a perfectly good fuel pumpโthe problem often lies with this module.
This is your permanent, hassle-free solution. We offer a genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module (interchangeable with part number 13501024) that arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming, no special tools required. It’s a true plug-and-play fix that restores factory performance and reliability.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
“A customer brought in his ’08 Silverado, convinced he needed a new fuel pump. It had all the symptoms: long crank times and occasional stalling. He’d already gotten a quote for over $1,000 to drop the tank and replace the pump. I hooked up my scan tool and saw diagnostic trouble code P069E, which points directly to the FPCM. These modules are mounted on the frame rail, exposed to water, salt, and road debris, causing internal corrosion. We swapped in a new programmed module in under 30 minutes, and the truck ran perfectly. He saved hundreds of dollars and a lot of unnecessary labor by correctly diagnosing the FPCM first.”
The Direct Solution for Common Fuel System Problems
A failing FPCM can mimic a bad fuel pump, leading to costly misdiagnoses. This module is the correct fix for issues including:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls
- โ Stuttering or hesitation during acceleration
- โ Loss of power, especially under load
- โ “Service Engine Soon” or Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Installing your new 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module is straightforward. While the exact location varies by model (see fitment list), the process is simple for a DIYer or any professional mechanic. We handle the complex partโthe programmingโso you can get back on the road quickly.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most trucks and large SUVs, it’s mounted to the driver’s side frame rail. On crossovers like the Acadia or Traverse, it’s often on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector and unbolt the module from the frame. Be sure to inspect the connector for any green or white corrosion and clean it if necessary.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module in place and securely plug in the electrical connector.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and confirm the issue is resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions about the 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module
- Q: Why do I need to provide my VIN?
- A: Your vehicle’s VIN allows us to load the exact software and calibrations specified by GM for your specific make, model, and engine. This ensures perfect compatibility and function without any additional programming.
- Q: How do I know if my FPCM is bad and not the fuel pump?
- A: Common FPCM failure codes include P069E or U0109. A mechanic can also test for voltage at the fuel pump; if there’s no or erratic voltage but the pump works when powered directly, the FPCM is the likely culprit.
- Q: Where is this module located on my vehicle?
- A: Location varies. On most GM trucks (Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe) it’s on the driver-side frame rail. On crossovers (Acadia, Traverse) it’s often on the rear subframe/crossmember. Always verify the location for your specific model before starting.
- Q: Is this part difficult to install myself?
- A: For most individuals with basic mechanical skills, this is a very manageable job. Since we handle the programming, it’s a simple unbolt-and-replace process that typically takes less than an hour.
