Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your GMC, Chevy, or Cadillac experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation, or a complete no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real 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 frequently, leaving drivers stranded. This module, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the electronic brain that precisely manages the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, fuel delivery becomes erratic, leading to a host of engine performance problems.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We take the hassle out of the repair by pre-programming this module specifically for your vehicle using your VIN. This means it arrives at your door with the latest GM software updates already installed, allowing for a direct, plug-and-play installation. You get to skip the expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you both time and money. This is the definitive fix for a wide range of popular GM trucks and SUVs.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Signs?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when coming to a stop
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Tahoe That Wouldn’t Start
A customer brought in an ’08 Tahoe that would crank all day but never fire up. The previous shop had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. On the surface, it seemed like a fuel issue, but a quick scan showed a U0109 code—Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. Instead of just throwing more parts at it, we located the FPCM on the frame rail. It was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. We installed a new, programmed module, and the truck fired up on the first try. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the controller, not just the pump, saves the customer hundreds in unnecessary repairs.
The Power of Pre-Programming: A 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Control Module Ready to Go
Modern vehicles are complex, and simply swapping electronic modules often isn’t enough. This 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Control Module requires precise software that matches your vehicle’s specific configuration. By providing us with your VIN during checkout, you ensure 100% correct functionality right out of the box. Our technicians flash the module with the most current and stable software from General Motors, which can resolve issues that were present even in the original factory programming. This critical step ensures the FPCM communicates flawlessly with your vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM) for optimal fuel pressure regulation and engine performance.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Tahoe or Silverado, the FPCM is mounted on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire. On vehicles like the Acadia or Traverse, it’s often on a rear crossmember. On the Saturn Vue, check the RH rear engine compartment. Always consult a service manual for your specific model if unsure.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as they can become brittle over time. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame or crossmember.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Ensure it is securely mounted.
- ✔ Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock into place.
- ✔ Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is successful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is required so we can program the module with the exact software and calibrations for your specific vehicle. This ensures perfect compatibility and function without needing a dealer visit.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a straightforward installation. The module is typically mounted to the vehicle’s frame or crossmember with a few bolts. Since it comes pre-programmed, it’s a plug-and-play process once the old part is removed.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed module will not work correctly. Your vehicle will likely not start, or it may run very poorly and display a Check Engine Light. Our pre-programming service eliminates this problem entirely.
Is this the same as a fuel pump?
No. This is the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), an electronic controller. The fuel pump is a separate, mechanical part located in the fuel tank. The FPCM tells the fuel pump how fast to run.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, the DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On) is a very common indicator that the FPCM has failed. Replacing it with this pre-programmed module is the correct repair for that code.
