Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2009 Traverse, or another GM truck or SUV, suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? The culprit is often a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, you’re left with frustrating and unpredictable performance issues. Don’t let a faulty module leave you stranded.
This is a direct-fit replacement FPCM, part number 20759945, that arrives at your door fully programmed with the latest GM software updates. We flash the module specifically to your vehicle’s VIN, making this a true plug-and-play solution. You can bypass the expensive trip to the dealership for programming and get your vehicle back on the road quickly and affordably. This is the smart, reliable fix for a wide range of popular GM vehicles.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Frame Rail Failure
I can’t count how many Silverados, Tahoes, and Suburbans I’ve seen on my lift with a no-start condition that traces back to this exact module. The most common failure point is its location. On many of these trucks, the FPCM is mounted directly to the driver-side frame rail, exposed to everything the road throws at it—water, salt, mud, and debris. Over time, moisture gets past the seals, corrodes the circuit board, and leads to intermittent or complete failure. A classic symptom is the truck starting fine when cold but refusing to start after it’s been driven and parked for a short time. This pre-programmed module with updated software logic is the definitive fix I’ve installed for hundreds of satisfied customers.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Signs?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when coming to a stop
- ✔ Severe engine hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ “Reduced Engine Power” message on the dashboard
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with fuel system-related codes
- ✔ Common Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) include P069E, P0230, P0627, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new, pre-programmed FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. While the exact location varies slightly by model, the process is generally the same. For the 2009 Traverse, you’ll find it mounted to the rear crossmember.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most trucks and large SUVs, it’s on the driver-side frame rail near the spare tire. On vehicles like the Traverse or Acadia, it’s typically on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connector(s). Be sure to press the release tab firmly. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the module to the frame or chassis.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in the same location, securing it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connector(s) into the new FPCM until they click securely into place. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Cycle the Key: Turn the ignition key to the ‘ON’ position (without starting the engine) for 10-15 seconds to allow the system to initialize before starting the vehicle. Your vehicle should now start and run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN number?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations specific to your vehicle’s factory options. This ensures seamless communication with other computers, like the ECM, and guarantees correct operation right out of the box.
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we pre-program it to your VIN, no further programming or dealer visits are required. Simply install it, and you’re ready to go. This saves you significant time and money compared to buying an unprogrammed module.
What does a Fuel Pump Control Module do?
The FPCM’s job is to precisely control the speed of the electric fuel pump. Instead of running the pump at full speed all the time, the FPCM adjusts the voltage based on engine demand. This improves efficiency and extends the life of the fuel pump.
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, making it relatively accessible from underneath the vehicle.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, the DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common codes indicating a faulty FPCM. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for this code.
