Is Your 2009 Enclave Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine performance issues like stalling at idle, poor acceleration, or a complete no-start condition, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common culprit. In my 20+ years as a diagnostic technician, I’ve seen countless GM trucks and SUVs, including the Buick Enclave, towed into the shop with these exact symptoms. Often, the driver has already spent money on a new fuel pump, only to find the problem persists. The real issue is this critical control unit.
The FPCM, sometimes called a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain behind your fuel delivery system. It precisely regulates the voltage sent to the in-tank fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the exact amount of fuel it needs under all driving conditions. When it fails, it can leave you stranded without warning.
Why Do These Modules Fail? The Technician’s Perspective
On many of these vehicles, including the Enclave, Traverse, and Acadia, the FPCM is mounted on the frame or a rear crossmember. This location exposes it to a brutal environment of water, road salt, dirt, and constant vibration. Over time, this leads to corrosion on the housing and electrical connector pins, which allows moisture to seep inside and destroy the delicate circuit board. The result is erratic fuel pressure, a check engine light (often with code P069E), and the performance problems you’re experiencing.
Expert Pro Tip: Check This Before You Buy
Before ordering, take a quick look at your existing FPCM. A customer’s 2009 Acadia came in last week with a no-start condition. The connector was so corroded that two pins had snapped off inside the module’s harness plug. Before installing your new part, it’s critical to inspect the vehicle-side harness connector for any green or white corrosion, melted plastic, or broken pins. Cleaning the connector with a terminal contact cleaner and a small brush ensures a solid connection and prevents premature failure of your new module.

Plug-and-Play Installation: Get Back on the Road Fast
You can perform this repair yourself with basic hand tools. While the exact location varies slightly by model, the process is straightforward.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: On the 2009 Enclave, you’ll typically find the FPCM mounted to the frame or a rear crossmember, often near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in the same location. Ensure the vehicle-side connector is clean before plugging it in.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Cycle the key to the ‘ON’ position a few times to prime the fuel system, then start the vehicle.
