Is Your GM Vehicle Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than an engine that won’t run right. If your 2009 Buick Enclave, GMC Sierra, Chevy Tahoe, or other compatible GM vehicle is experiencing issues like sudden stalling, hesitation during acceleration, a long crank time, or a complete no-start condition, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common culprit. This vital electronic component is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can starve your engine of fuel, leading to a host of performance problems and leaving you stranded. Don’t let a small module cause a big headache. This direct-fit FPCM is the reliable solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and peace of mind.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 towed in that was driving the owner crazy. The truck would run perfectly for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight and refuse to restart for 20 minutes. There were no consistent check engine light codes, just an intermittent P069E code stored in history. After checking fuel pressure, which was erratic, we focused on the FPCM mounted on the frame rail. These modules live in a harsh environment, exposed to water, salt, and vibration. We swapped in a VIN-programmed module, and the problem was solved instantly. The customer was thrilled to have his reliable truck back without a costly and time-consuming diagnostic chase at the dealership.
Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pump Control Module
- ✔ Engine Stalling: The engine may stall unexpectedly while driving or idling, often without warning.
- ✔ No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but will not start due to a lack of fuel pressure.
- ✔ Hesitation or Stumbling: You may notice the vehicle hesitating or stumbling during acceleration as the engine struggles to get enough fuel.
- ✔ Reduced Engine Power: A failing FPCM can limit fuel flow, resulting in a noticeable loss of power and poor performance.
- ✔ Check Engine Light: Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, P025A, or U0109 are commonly associated with FPCM failure.
- ✔ Inconsistent Fuel Gauge Readings: In some cases, a faulty module can interfere with fuel level signals.
The Critical Advantage: A Pre-Programmed 2009 Enclave Fuel Pump Module
Why is programming so important? Modern vehicles use complex communication networks. The FPCM needs to communicate perfectly with the Engine Control Module (ECM) and other vehicle systems. An unprogrammed module simply will not work. This module removes that barrier completely. We use your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to load the latest, most stable software directly from GM. This ensures 100% correct communication and function the moment you plug it in. You get a part that is truly ready for installation, saving you the time, expense, and hassle of a trip to the dealership for programming.
This module is a direct replacement for a range of original equipment part numbers, including: 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. It offers a reliable and cost-effective alternative to the dealership parts counter, providing the same performance and functionality for your vehicle’s fuel system.
Installation is straightforward for those with basic mechanical skills. The module is typically located on the vehicle’s frame rail or a rear crossmember, secured by a few bolts. Simply disconnect the negative battery terminal, unplug the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolt it, and install the new one in its place. Once reconnected, your vehicle is ready to go, thanks to the pre-loaded, VIN-specific software.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential for us to load the exact, vehicle-specific software from GM. This ensures the new Fuel Pump Control Module communicates perfectly with your engine computer and other systems, making the installation a true plug-and-play process without requiring a trip to the dealer.
Is this a direct replacement for my original part?
Yes, this is a direct-fit replacement for the original FPCM on all listed makes and models. It matches the factory specifications for form, fit, and function, and is compatible with numerous OEM part numbers like 20759945, 13501024, and 25967325.
Where is the FPCM located on my vehicle?
The location varies slightly by model. On most trucks and large SUVs (like the Sierra, Silverado, Tahoe, Yukon), it’s found on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On crossovers (like the Enclave, Acadia, Traverse), it’s often on a rear crossmember. Always consult a repair manual for your specific vehicle to confirm the exact location.
Will this fix my check engine light for code P069E?
Code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) is a very strong indicator of a failed FPCM. While other issues can cause this code, a faulty module is the most common cause. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for a confirmed FPCM failure.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
No special tools are required. Basic hand tools, such as a socket set and ratchet, are typically all that’s needed to unbolt the old module and install the new one. The most important part of the process is ensuring the battery is disconnected before you begin.
