Is Your GM Truck or SUV Stalling, Hesitating, or Failing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating engine performance issues like sudden stalls, sputtering during acceleration, or a complete no-start condition, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. In my 20+ years as a diagnostic technician, I’ve seen hundreds of these modules fail on GM vehicles, leaving owners stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that cripples your vehicle’s fuel delivery system.
This Fuel Pump Control Module is the definitive, reliable solution. The best part? It arrives at your door pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN with the latest GM software updates. This completely eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you time, money, and hassle.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2009 Traverse Fuel Pump Control Module
The FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, the engine is starved of fuel, leading to a host of problems. Our service makes the repair straightforward. Simply provide your VIN during checkout, and we handle the complex programming. You receive a part that’s ready for a direct, simple installation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start
- โ Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls
- โ Severe hesitation or stumbling under load
- โ Reduced Engine Power message on the dash
- โ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
Expert Pro Tip: Check Your Connections!
Before installing your new module, take a moment to inspect the electrical connector and wiring harness. These FPCMs are often mounted on the frame rail, where they are exposed to moisture and road salt. Corrosion on the connector pins is a very common issue that can mimic module failure or cause your new part to not work correctly. Clean any green or white corrosion with a small wire brush and apply a bit of dielectric grease to protect the new connection.
Simple Installation: Get Back on the Road Fast
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIY enthusiasts can handle with basic tools. While the exact location varies by model (e.g., on the rear crossmember for a Traverse or the left-hand frame rail for a Sierra/Silverado), the process is generally the same.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM, typically mounted to the vehicle’s frame or crossmember near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector and remove the bolts or nuts holding the module in place.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed module and securely fasten it.
- Reconnect: Plug in the electrical connector (ensure it clicks into place) and reconnect the battery terminal.
- Start Your Engine: Your vehicle should now start and run smoothly with stable fuel pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
A: The FPCM regulates the voltage sent to your vehicle’s fuel pump. This controls the pump’s speed and, consequently, the fuel pressure, ensuring the engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs under all driving conditions.
Q: Why is VIN programming so important for this part?
A: Each GM vehicle has specific operating parameters. Programming the module to your VIN ensures it communicates correctly with your vehicle’s main computer (ECU) and fuel pump, providing the correct fuel pressure and flow for optimal performance and efficiency.
Q: Is this a difficult part to install myself?
A: For most individuals with basic mechanical skills, this is a straightforward repair. Since we handle the programming, the physical installation typically involves just a few bolts and one electrical connector, making it an accessible DIY job.
Q: How do I provide my VIN for programming?
A: After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information to perform the programming service.
Q: Will this fix my Check Engine Light for code P069E?
A: Yes, code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common codes indicating a failed FPCM. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct and most common repair for this and related fuel system codes.
