Is your 2009 Buick Enclave, Chevy Tahoe, GMC Sierra, or other compatible GM vehicle suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? The problem may not be your fuel pump, but the sophisticated electronic module that controls it. This pre-programmed Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the definitive solution for restoring proper fuel delivery and engine performance, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership.
The FPCM is the brain of your vehicle’s fuel system. Unlike older systems that simply run the fuel pump at full speed, this module precisely varies the pump’s voltage. This ensures the engine receives the exact amount of fuel it needs for any given condition—from idling at a stoplight to accelerating onto the highway. This variable pressure system improves fuel efficiency, reduces emissions, and extends the life of the fuel pump. When the module fails, this critical control is lost, leading to a host of frustrating and potentially dangerous driving issues.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Yukon XL come into the shop with a classic complaint: it would randomly stall while driving and was often hard to restart. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan revealed a P069E code – ‘Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF’. We located the FPCM on the driver’s side frame rail, a common spot for these trucks. Upon inspection, the module’s aluminum housing was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture, which had compromised the internal electronics. We installed a new, VIN-programmed module, and the Yukon ran perfectly. It’s a reminder that the problem isn’t always the most obvious component.
Is Your Vehicle Showing Signs of a Failing FPCM?
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start, or starts and immediately stalls.
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, especially when the vehicle is warm or under load.
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor overall performance.
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with fuel system codes such as P069E, P0230, or P025A.
- ✔ A fuel pressure gauge showing erratic or low readings.
The Plug-and-Play Solution: A Pre-Programmed 2009 Enclave Fuel Pump Module
Replacing an FPCM isn’t just a matter of swapping parts. A new module from the dealer is a blank slate and requires special tools to program it to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our process eliminates this costly and inconvenient step. When you purchase from us, you simply provide your VIN, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest, most stable GM software for your exact vehicle. It arrives at your door ready for a direct, plug-and-play installation.
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of original equipment part numbers, including: 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. It is designed to meet or exceed original factory specifications, ensuring reliable performance and a long service life. By controlling fuel pressure precisely, this module not only resolves your immediate running issues but also helps protect your fuel pump from premature wear.
Installation is straightforward for a DIY mechanic with basic tools. The module is typically located on the vehicle’s frame rail or crossmember, easily accessible from underneath. Be sure to disconnect the battery before starting and inspect the wiring harness connector for any signs of corrosion or damage, cleaning or repairing as necessary to ensure a solid connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module for you before it ships. Simply provide us with your 17-digit VIN after purchase, and the part will arrive ready to install, saving you time and money.
Where is the FPCM located on my vehicle?
Location varies by model. On most GM trucks and large SUVs (Tahoe, Sierra, Escalade), it’s on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On crossovers like the Enclave, Acadia, and Traverse, it’s often on a rear crossmember near the fuel tank. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle to confirm the location.
What’s the difference between an FPCM and an FSCM?
They are the exact same part. FPCM stands for Fuel Pump Control Module, while FSCM stands for Fuel System Control Module. Different manufacturers and service manuals may use the terms interchangeably.
How do I send you my VIN?
After completing your purchase, please send us a message through the platform with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the part until we have this information to complete the programming.
Will this part fix a P069E trouble code?
A faulty FPCM is the most common cause of a P069E code. While this module will likely resolve the issue, it is always recommended to perform a full diagnosis to rule out other potential causes, such as wiring problems or a failing fuel pump.
Is this a genuine factory part?
This is a high-quality replacement part built to meet or exceed OEM specifications. It is programmed using official GM software to ensure perfect compatibility and performance with your vehicle’s systems.
