Restore Your Vehicle’s Power and Reliability
If your GM truck or SUV is suddenly stalling, hesitating during acceleration, or refusing to start, the problem often points to a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen this exact issue countless times. The FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain that regulates voltage to your fuel pump. When it fails, fuel pressure becomes erratic, leading to a host of frustrating and potentially unsafe engine problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical component for your vehicle’s performance and dependability.
We offer a straightforward and reliable solution. This is a direct-replacement FPCM, and the best part is, we handle the programming for you. Before we ship the part, we will flash it with the latest official GM software, tailored specifically to your vehicle using the VIN you provide. This means you receive a true plug-and-play part, saving you from a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealership for programming. Installing our 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module is the most efficient way to restore proper fuel delivery and get your vehicle running smoothly again.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent No-Start Nightmare
A customer brought in his ’08 Silverado with a tricky complaint: sometimes it would start perfectly, other times it would just crank and crank. He had already replaced the fuel pump, assuming that was the issue, but the problem persisted. When I hooked up my scanner, I found no active codes, but in the history, I saw a stored P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF). This code is a dead giveaway. The FPCM, exposed to the elements on the frame rail, was failing intermittently due to internal corrosion. It would work fine, then suddenly cut power to the pump. We installed a new, pre-programmed FPCM, and the truck has been starting reliably ever since. It’s a classic example of why diagnosing the *control* side of the system is just as important as the mechanical parts.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Signs?
A failing FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems. Here are the most common symptoms I see in the shop:
- ✔ Engine stalling, especially when coming to a stop or under load.
- ✔ Difficulty starting or extended cranking time before the engine fires.
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ Noticeable loss of engine power and poor acceleration.
- ✔ Rough or unstable idle.
- ✔ A “Reduced Engine Power” message on the driver information center.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the FPCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Because we pre-program the module, you won’t need any special electronic equipment.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: On most trucks and SUVs like the Tahoe or Sierra, the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On vehicles like the Acadia or Traverse, it’s often on a rear crossmember. Check your specific model’s service information for the exact location.
- Remove the Old Module: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as they can become brittle over time. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module into place. Securely plug in the electrical connectors until they click.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds (without starting) to allow the system to initialize, then start the vehicle to confirm the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) do?
The FPCM is a small computer that precisely controls the voltage sent to the electric fuel pump. This ensures the engine receives the correct amount of fuel pressure under all driving conditions, which is crucial for performance and fuel efficiency.
Why do you need my VIN to program the module?
Every vehicle has a unique software calibration from GM based on its specific options. Using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to load the exact, correct software for your vehicle. This ensures perfect compatibility and function, eliminating any guesswork.
Is this part difficult to install for a DIYer?
Not at all. Since the module comes pre-programmed, the installation is purely mechanical. It involves unplugging the old module and bolting the new one in its place. Most people with basic hand tools can complete the job in under an hour.
How do I provide my VIN after purchase?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. You can also add it as a note during the checkout process. We cannot ship your order until we receive the VIN for programming.
Will this fix a P069E code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. The DTC P069E is one of the most common codes pointing directly to a faulty FPCM. Replacing the module is the standard, accepted repair for this code.
