Are you experiencing frustrating engine stalls, a crank-no-start condition, or an illuminated Check Engine Light on your 2009 GMC Acadia? These are classic symptoms of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the correct amount of fuel under all driving conditions. When it fails, it can leave you stranded. This genuine GM module, part number 15213110, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s reliability and performance.
Unlike generic or used modules that require expensive trips to the dealership for programming, this FPCM arrives at your door completely programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We handle the complex flashing process for you, loading the latest GM software updates to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. This makes the installation process straightforward, saving you significant time, money, and hassle.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Chevy Tahoe come in on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, assuming it was the cause of his intermittent stalling and eventual no-start. He was frustrated that the new pump didn’t fix the issue. We hooked up our diagnostic scanner and saw no communication with the FPCM and a specific trouble code (P069E). The module, located on the frame rail, had suffered from corrosion. Instead of another expensive guess, we installed a VIN-programmed FPCM. The truck fired right up and ran perfectly. This is a prime example of how correctly diagnosing the issue and starting with the right, pre-programmed part saves a lot of headaches and unnecessary expense.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine stalling, especially under load or during acceleration.
- ✔ Vehicle cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Illuminated Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ A buzzing noise from the fuel pump area, or no noise at all.
Why a Programmed 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module is Essential
Modern GM vehicles utilize a sophisticated CAN bus system where modules constantly communicate with each other. The FPCM needs to be specifically calibrated to your vehicle’s engine, transmission, and other systems. A non-programmed module simply will not work. It won’t be recognized by the vehicle’s main computer (ECM/PCM), and the fuel pump will not activate. Our professional programming service uses your VIN to load the exact factory calibration file required for your vehicle. This ensures seamless integration and a true plug-and-play installation, restoring factory performance and function without any additional steps required on your end.
Wide-Ranging GM Compatibility
This module is a direct replacement for a wide array of GM trucks and SUVs. It is fully compatible with the following part numbers, ensuring you receive the correct component for your repair: 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. It fits dozens of models including the Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Sierra, Yukon, Cadillac Escalade, and more from 2007-2009. Please verify the fitment list to confirm it matches your specific vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM, or Fuel Pump Control Module, acts as a smart relay for your fuel pump. Instead of just turning the pump on or off, it precisely varies the voltage to the pump based on commands from the Engine Control Module (ECM). This allows it to control fuel pressure accurately, improving fuel efficiency and engine performance.
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential because it allows us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations specific to your vehicle’s make, model, engine, and options. Without this VIN-specific programming, the module will not communicate with your vehicle’s other computers, and the fuel pump will not function.
Is this part difficult to install?
Because the module comes pre-programmed, the physical installation is straightforward for a DIYer with basic mechanical skills. On most trucks and SUVs, it is located on the driver’s side frame rail or a rear crossmember. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, removing a few bolts, and swapping the module. No further programming is needed.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the diagnostic trouble code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) is one of the most common indicators of a failed FPCM. While you should always perform a complete diagnosis, replacing a faulty FPCM with this pre-programmed unit is the most common and effective repair for this code.
What are the compatible part numbers for this module?
This module is a direct replacement for several GM part numbers, including 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. Ordering this part ensures you get a compatible module for any of these numbers.
