Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Are you battling frustrating issues like your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse stalling at stoplights, struggling to start, or showing a check engine light with fuel-related codes? A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is often the hidden culprit behind these perplexing problems. This module is the brain of your fuel delivery system, precisely managing the voltage sent to the fuel pump. When it fails, it can starve your engine of fuel, leading to poor performance, hesitation, and even a no-start condition that leaves you stranded. This replacement FPCM is the definitive solution, engineered to restore your vehicle’s factory performance and dependability.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Misleading Fuel Pump
I remember a 2009 Acadia (which uses the same system as the Traverse) that came into my bay on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump himself, but the vehicle still wouldn’t start. He was frustrated and out a few hundred dollars. A quick scan showed a U0109 code—Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. We located the original FPCM on the frame rail, and it was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and water. After installing a new, pre-programmed module, the engine fired up on the first try. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the system, not just the most obvious part, saves time and money.
Is Your Traverse Showing These Signs of FPCM Failure?
A failing module can mimic other issues, but here are the most common red flags I’ve seen in my shop. If you’re experiencing any of these, a faulty FPCM is a likely cause.
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start
- ✔ Stalling, especially when coming to a stop or at idle
- ✔ Severe engine hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power or ‘limp mode’ activation
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
This module is designed for a direct-fit replacement. For the 2009 Traverse, you’ll find the module mounted to the rear crossmember. While professional installation is always an option, a confident DIYer can complete this job with basic hand tools.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Safely raise the rear of the vehicle and locate the FPCM on the rear crossmember, typically near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Be gentle to avoid breaking the locking tab. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place and securely reconnect the electrical harness.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no additional programming required.
Why Choose a Pre-Programmed Module?
The single biggest advantage of this part is our complimentary programming service. A new FPCM from a dealership requires a separate, costly programming session using their proprietary equipment. We eliminate that step entirely. By providing your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, you receive a 2009 Traverse Fuel Pump Control Module loaded with the latest GM-approved software. It arrives at your door ready for immediate installation, saving you hundreds of dollars in dealer fees and diagnostic time. This is the most efficient and cost-effective way to get your vehicle back on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping it. It arrives ready to install, saving you the time and expense of a dealership visit.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures we load the correct, most current software for your specific vehicle.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Traverse?
On the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted on the rear crossmember of the vehicle’s frame, often near the spare tire.
Is this the same as the in-tank fuel pump?
No, this is not the fuel pump. This is the electronic control module (the ‘brain’) that tells the fuel pump (the ‘heart’) how much fuel to send to the engine. They are two separate parts of the fuel system.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, a faulty FPCM is a very common cause for the P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) diagnostic trouble code. Replacing the module often resolves this code and the underlying issue.
