Restore Your Vehicle’s Power and Reliability
Is your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like engine stalling, sputtering during acceleration, or a dreaded no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen these modules fail countless times, leaving drivers stranded. This module is the brain behind your fuel delivery system, and when it malfunctions, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs to run properly.
We offer a definitive, hassle-free solution. This is a genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 25854536, that arrives at your door completely programmed with the latest factory software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This eliminates the most expensive and time-consuming part of the repair—a trip to the dealership for programming. You get a reliable part that restores factory performance and fuel efficiency, ready for a straightforward installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I recall a 2009 Tahoe that came into the shop on a tow truck. The owner had already spent a significant amount of money replacing the in-tank fuel pump, but the truck still wouldn’t start. A quick scan showed a P069E code—a classic indicator of an FPCM communication or performance issue. These modules are often mounted on the frame rail, exposed to water, salt, and vibration, which leads to internal corrosion and failure. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the engine fired up on the first try. This story highlights a critical point: proper diagnosis can save you hundreds, and starting with the FPCM is often the correct, most cost-effective repair.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Telltale Signs?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, this module is the likely solution for your 2009 Traverse Fuel Pump Control Module problems.
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start
- ✔ Stalling or cutting out, especially when warm or under load
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling on acceleration
- ✔ Noticeable loss of engine power and poor performance
- ✔ Reduced fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
One of the best features of this module is that it’s designed for a simple, direct-fit replacement. For a DIYer with basic tools, this is a very manageable job that can be completed in your own driveway.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: On the 2009 Traverse, the FPCM is typically mounted on the rear crossmember. On many GM trucks and SUVs, it’s found on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Be sure to press the release tab to avoid damage. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- Final Connections: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module until it clicks into place. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Start the Engine: Your vehicle should now start and run smoothly with restored fuel pressure and performance. No programming is required!
