Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Not Starting?
If you’re experiencing frustrating engine problems like sudden stalling, hesitation under acceleration, or a complete no-start condition, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can leave you stranded by either starving the engine of fuel or failing to power the pump at all. This replacement module, part number 15213110, is the definitive solution for a wide range of 2007-2009 GM vehicles, including the Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Cadillac Escalade, and Buick Enclave.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I once had a 2008 Chevy Tahoe come into the shop on a tow truck. The owner was convinced he needed his third fuel pump in two years. He’d replaced it twice at other shops, and the no-start issue would always return a few months later. Instead of just throwing another pump at it, I hooked up the scan tool and monitored the fuel pump command and feedback. The ECM was commanding the pump on, but the module wasn’t responding correctly—voltage was erratic. The FPCM, mounted on the frame rail, was corroded and had failed internally. We installed a new, programmed module, and the truck fired right up with perfect fuel pressure. The customer was thrilled to finally have a real solution instead of just replacing the same part over and over. It’s a classic case of diagnosing the controller, not just the component it controls.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start.
- âś” Sudden engine stalling, especially while driving.
- âś” Vehicle hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- âś” Reduced engine power and poor performance.
- âś” Illumination of the Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P025A, or P0230.
- âś” A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump that is inconsistent.
- âś” Inaccurate fuel gauge readings in some cases.
Why Choose Our Programmed 2009 Enclave Fuel Module?
Modern vehicles require precise electronic communication between modules. Simply installing a new FPCM off the shelf will not work; it must be programmed specifically to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our service eliminates the biggest headache of this repair. We flash the module with the latest GM-certified software updates tailored to your exact vehicle before it ever leaves our facility. This means you receive a true plug-and-play part. You avoid the expensive towing fees, the high labor costs of dealership programming, and the downtime of having your vehicle sit at a repair shop. This is the most efficient and cost-effective way to get your truck or SUV back on the road.
The Importance of VIN-Specific Programming
The FPCM works in concert with the Engine Control Module (ECM) to deliver the precise amount of fuel needed for any given driving condition. This variable-pressure system is more efficient than older, constant-pressure systems. The VIN-specific programming ensures the FPCM has the correct operating parameters for your vehicle’s engine, fuel system, and emissions equipment. Without this crucial step, the module will not communicate correctly, and your vehicle will not start. By providing us with your VIN upon purchase, you guarantee a component that is perfectly matched and ready for immediate installation.
Direct-Fit Replacement and Broad Compatibility
This module is a direct replacement for a variety of original equipment part numbers, ensuring a perfect fit and function. It is compatible with the following part numbers: 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. It fits a huge range of popular GM models, including the Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado, Avalanche, Traverse; the GMC Sierra, Yukon, Acadia; the Cadillac Escalade; and many more from the 2007-2009 model years. Please verify the fitment list to ensure compatibility with your specific vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is required to program the Fuel Pump Control Module with the correct, vehicle-specific software from GM. Without this programming, the module will not communicate with your vehicle’s other computers, and your engine will not start. This service makes the part plug-and-play, saving you a trip to the dealership.
Where is this module located on my vehicle?
The location varies slightly by model. On most trucks and large SUVs (like the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon), it is typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On crossovers (like the Enclave, Acadia, Traverse), it may be located on a rear crossmember. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle for the exact location.
Will this fix my Check Engine Light for code P069E?
Code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is a very common indicator of a failed FPCM. While this module is the most frequent cause, it’s essential to perform a full diagnosis. However, if you are experiencing symptoms like a no-start or stalling along with this code, replacing the FPCM is the most probable fix.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical skill, the installation is straightforward. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, safely raising the vehicle, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module from the frame. Since our module comes pre-programmed, no special computer tools are needed for the installation itself. You simply bolt it in and plug it in.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed module will not function. The vehicle’s security system and engine computer will not recognize it, preventing the fuel pump from activating. Your vehicle will crank but will not start. Our pre-programming service is essential for the part to work correctly.
