Restore Your Vehicle’s Power and Reliability
Is your GMC Acadia, Chevy Silverado, or other GM vehicle suddenly stalling, hesitating during acceleration, or refusing to start? These are classic signs of 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, it can leave you stranded. Don’t let a faulty module dictate your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
We offer a direct-fit replacement 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Control Module that solves these frustrating issues for good. The biggest challenge with replacing an FPCM has always been the mandatory, and often expensive, trip to the dealership for programming. We eliminate that step entirely. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash this module with the latest, most stable software directly from GM. It arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation, saving you time, money, and hassle.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Hidden Cause of Intermittent Stalling
I remember a 2008 Silverado 1500 that came into the shop with a frustrating problem: it would run perfectly fine around town, but would stall randomly on the highway, especially when towing a small boat. The driver had already replaced the fuel pump, but the issue persisted. There were no hard codes, just a pending P069E. After checking fuel pressure, which seemed okay at idle, we monitored the FPCM command data while driving. We noticed the voltage signal would suddenly drop out under heavy load. The original FPCM, mounted to the frame rail, was getting cooked by heat and corroded by road salt. We swapped in a pre-programmed module just like this one, and the truck ran flawlessly. It’s a common failure I’ve seen hundreds of times on these GM platforms.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when warm.
- ✔ Severe engine hesitation or sputtering during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light illuminated with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module).
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- ✔ Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most GM trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Tahoe, Yukon), it’s mounted on the driver-side frame rail, often near the spare tire. On vehicles like the Acadia or Traverse, it’s typically on a rear crossmember.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as they can become brittle. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting location.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Firmly reconnect the electrical connectors until they click.
- ✔ Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to flash the module with the exact software calibration specified by GM for your vehicle’s engine, transmission, and options. This ensures perfect compatibility and performance right out of the box, eliminating the need for a dealer visit.
Is this part difficult to replace myself?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a very manageable job. The module is typically held on by just a few bolts and has simple plug-in connectors. The most difficult part is often just accessing it on the frame rail. Since our module is pre-programmed, the electrical work is purely plug-and-play.
What is the difference between an FPCM and a fuel pump?
The fuel pump is the physical pump inside your gas tank that moves fuel. The Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is the computer that tells the fuel pump how fast to run. A bad FPCM can make a perfectly good fuel pump seem faulty.
Will this fix a Check Engine Light for code P069E?
Yes, P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common diagnostic trouble codes pointing directly to a failing FPCM. Replacing the faulty module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for that code.
What happens if I don’t provide a VIN?
We cannot ship the module without a VIN. The programming is essential for the part to function in your vehicle. An unprogrammed module will not operate the fuel pump, and your vehicle will not start.
