Restore Your Vehicle’s Fuel Delivery and Performance
If your 2009 GMC Acadia or another compatible GM vehicle is experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a dreaded no-start condition, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. This vital component 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. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical reliability issue that needs a dependable fix.
We offer a direct-fit replacement FPCM, part number 25785013, that arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. By providing us with your VIN at checkout, our technicians will flash the module with the latest, most stable software updates from GM. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you both time and money. You get a component that’s truly ready to install right out of the box, making this a job that a confident DIYer or any professional mechanic can complete with ease. Restore your vehicle’s performance and peace of mind with a reliable 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module.
Case Study: The Intermittent No-Start Nightmare
A customer brought in a 2008 Silverado with a problem that was driving him crazy: it would randomly refuse to start. Sometimes it would crank but not fire, other times it would start perfectly for a week straight. He had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the issue, but the problem persisted. When we hooked up the scanner, we found a stored code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. Instead of just throwing another part at it, we monitored the FPCM data stream. We saw the module was commanding the pump on, but the voltage was erratic and would sometimes drop to zero, starving the engine of fuel. The issue was a classic FPCM internal failure, made worse by its location on the frame rail where it’s exposed to moisture and corrosion. We installed a VIN-programmed module, and the truck has been starting reliably ever since. This case highlights why diagnosing the entire system, not just the pump, is key.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems. Here are the most common indicators I’ve seen in my 20+ years of diagnostic experience. If you’re experiencing several of these, the FPCM is a prime suspect.
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when coming to a stop
- ✔ Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module)
- ✔ A buzzing or whining noise from the fuel pump area that is inconsistent
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module is a manageable job for most DIYers. While the exact location varies by model (see fitment list), the process is generally the same. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle’s torque specs and procedures.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs like the Tahoe or Silverado, the FPCM is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. On crossovers like the Acadia or Traverse, it’s typically on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Note their orientation. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket. These bolts can sometimes be rusty, so a little penetrating oil can be a big help.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Be careful not to overtighten the bolts. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into place.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position (without starting) for 10-15 seconds to allow the system to prime. Start the vehicle and check for proper operation and ensure the check engine light is off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to provide my VIN?
Yes, absolutely. Providing your VIN is essential. We use it to load the correct, vehicle-specific GM software and the latest updates onto the module before shipping. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s other computers for a true plug-and-play installation.
What happens if I install this without it being programmed?
An unprogrammed FPCM will not work. The vehicle will likely not start, and you will get communication error codes because it cannot talk to the Engine Control Module (ECM) or Body Control Module (BCM). Our pre-programming service solves this entire problem for you.
Is this part difficult to replace myself?
For most individuals with basic mechanical skills and tools, this is a very straightforward replacement. The biggest challenge is often just accessing the module on the frame. Our installation guide provides the general steps to help you through it.
Does this part fit other vehicles besides the 2009 Acadia?
Yes, it fits a very wide range of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs from roughly 2007 to 2009. Please check our detailed ‘Verified Vehicle Compatibility’ list in the description to confirm it fits your specific make and model.
What’s the difference between an FPCM and an FSCM?
They are the same part. FPCM stands for Fuel Pump Control Module, while FSCM stands for Fuel System Control Module. The terms are used interchangeably in the industry to describe the computer that controls the fuel pump.
