Restore Fuel Delivery and Engine Performance Instantly
If your 2009 GMC Acadia is experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a complete no-start condition, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, ensuring your engine receives the precise amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can starve your engine, leading to poor performance, reduced fuel economy, and a flashing Check Engine Light. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue that can leave you stranded.
Forget the expensive trip to the dealership and the hassle of scheduling a programming appointment. We offer a true plug-and-play solution. This FPCM, part number 25854536, arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. Simply provide your VIN at checkout, and we handle the complex part, saving you hundreds in diagnostic and programming fees.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in a 2009 Chevy Traverse with a classic ‘crank, no-start’ complaint. They had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump themselves, assuming it was the problem, but the issue persisted. A quick scan showed a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). Instead of just guessing, we checked the FPCM connector for power, ground, and the command signal from the ECM. Everything checked out, pointing directly to an internal failure of the module itself. These modules are often mounted on the frame rail or crossmember, exposed to water, salt, and vibration, which leads to premature failure. By replacing the faulty FPCM with a pre-programmed unit, we had the vehicle running perfectly in 30 minutes, saving the customer from buying another unnecessary part.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Signs of a Failing FPCM?
A faulty fuel pump driver module can mimic other issues, but it often leaves a distinct trail of symptoms and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Here’s what to look for:
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start.
- âś” Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load.
- âś” Severe hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- âś” Noticeable loss of engine power and poor fuel mileage.
- âś” Check Engine Light is on with codes such as P069E, P0230, or P025A.
- âś” A ‘Service Fuel System’ or similar message on the driver information center.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module is a task most DIYers can handle with basic tools. On the Acadia, it’s typically located on the rear subframe crossmember, making access relatively simple. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle’s location.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On many of the listed trucks and SUVs, it’s on the driver-side frame rail. On the Acadia/Traverse/Enclave, it’s mounted to the rear crossmember.
- Disconnect: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Use a small flathead screwdriver to gently release the locking tabs if they are stuck.
- Unbolt the Old Module: Remove the bolts or nuts holding the module to the frame or crossmember.
- Mount the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed FPCM into place. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Reconnect and Finalize: Plug in the electrical connectors until they click securely. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds before starting to allow the system to prime. Start the engine and check for proper operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module is fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. It is a true plug-and-play installation, with no need for special scan tools or a trip to the dealer.
Where do I provide my VIN?
You can add your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the notes section during checkout. If you forget, we will contact you before shipping to ensure we get the correct information.
What if my original part number isn’t 25854536?
This part is a direct replacement for several older part numbers, including 13501024, 20759945, and others listed above. As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list, this module will work perfectly.
Is this a reliable fix for a P069E code?
Yes, in my 20+ years of experience, a P069E code on these GM vehicles almost always points to a failed Fuel Pump Control Module. While proper diagnosis is always recommended, this is the most common and effective solution for that specific code.
What makes this 2009 Acadia Fuel Pump Module fail?
The FPCM is often mounted on the vehicle’s frame, where it’s exposed to harsh conditions like water, road salt, and constant vibration. This exposure can lead to corrosion on the circuit board or connection pins, causing an internal failure.
