Restore Your Acadia’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2009 GMC Acadia or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like engine stalling, hesitation upon acceleration, or a complete no-start condition? Before you condemn the fuel pump, the real culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring precise fuel pressure for optimal engine performance. When it fails, it can cause a host of intermittent and confusing problems that can be difficult to diagnose.
I’ve seen it countless times in my shop: a vehicle comes in on a tow truck after the owner already replaced the fuel pump, only to have the same no-start issue. A quick scan reveals DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) or U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module). The issue was never the pump; it was this module. We solve this problem for you by providing a high-quality replacement FPCM that is pre-programmed specifically to your vehicle’s VIN. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming—it arrives at your door ready for a straightforward installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay
A customer brought in his ’08 Silverado with a classic complaint: it would crank but not start, but only intermittently. He’d already spent hundreds on a new fuel pump, but the problem persisted. When we hooked up the scanner, we found no fuel pressure, but the pump itself was good. The tell-tale sign was DTC P069E. The original FPCM, exposed to years of road grime and moisture on the frame rail, had failed internally. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired up instantly. This simple swap saved him from further misdiagnosis and got his truck back to being the reliable workhorse he depended on.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is a likely cause:
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling while driving, especially under load
- ✔ Severe engine hesitation or sputtering
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor acceleration
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, U0109, P0230, or P025A
- ✔ A fuel pressure gauge showing erratic or no pressure
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIYers can handle. While the exact location varies by model (see fitment list), the process is generally the same. For the Acadia, it’s typically found near 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 SUVs, it’s mounted to the driver-side frame rail. On vehicles like the Acadia/Traverse, check the rear crossmember area.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s). Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the module to the frame or chassis.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connector(s) firmly into the new module. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Final Check: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for a few seconds to allow the system to prime, then start the engine. Your fuel delivery issues should be resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming work?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We use this to load the latest GM-certified software for your specific vehicle onto the module before we ship it. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your car’s computer system.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, this is a plug-and-play part. Since the programming is already done, the physical installation is simple. It involves unplugging the old module and bolting the new one in its place. Most DIYers with basic tools can complete the job in under an hour.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FPCM is the direct cause of a P069E code. Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct and definitive fix for that specific diagnostic trouble code.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your VIN. The programming is essential for the part to function in your vehicle. We will hold your order and contact you to get the necessary information to ensure you receive a working part.
Is this a new or used part?
