Restore Your GM’s Fuel Delivery and Reliability
Is your 2009 GMC Acadia or another compatible GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, extended cranking, or a complete no-start condition? A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is one of the most common culprits. This module is the brain behind your fuel pump, regulating voltage to ensure your engine gets the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can leave you stranded without warning. This is a direct-replacement 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module that arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent Stall
I once had a 2009 Acadia in my bay that was driving the owner crazy. It would run perfectly for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight and refuse to restart for 10-15 minutes. There were no consistent codes at first, just a U0109 (Lost Communication with FPCM) stored as a history event. After checking wiring and grounds, we focused on the module itself. These FPCMs are often mounted on the frame rail, exposed to years of water, salt, and vibration. This constant environmental assault leads to internal corrosion and eventual failure. Replacing it with a pre-programmed module solved the problem instantly. The customer went from constant anxiety to complete confidence in their vehicle again.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving, especially at low speeds.
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump area, or no noise at all.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIY mechanics can handle in their own driveway. Our pre-programmed module makes it a true plug-and-play fix. Just provide your VIN at checkout, and we handle the complex part for you.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: On most compatible vehicles like the Acadia, Traverse, or GM trucks, the FPCM is mounted to the vehicle’s frame rail or a rear crossmember, typically on the driver’s side. Refer to a service manual for the exact location on your specific model.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully 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.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Reconnect and Test: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the system to prime, then start the engine. Your vehicle should start and run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions About the FPCM
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 configuration. This ensures seamless communication with your Engine Control Module (ECM) and guarantees proper function without any additional programming required.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, this is a very DIY-friendly part. Since we program it for you, the installation is purely mechanical. You simply unbolt the old module, bolt the new one in its place, and plug in the connectors. No special tools or software are needed.
Will this fix my P069E code?
A P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) is a very strong indicator that the FPCM has failed. While you should always confirm wiring and connectors are intact, this module is the most common and direct fix for that specific trouble code.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Acadia?
On the 2009 GMC Acadia, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted to the rear subframe/crossmember, near the fuel tank. Its location exposes it to the elements, which is a primary reason for its failure over time.
Is this part the same as the fuel pump driver module?
Yes, the terms Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), and Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) are often used interchangeably to describe the same component. This module serves that exact function for your GM vehicle.
