Is Your GM Vehicle Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that’s unreliable. If your 2009 Buick Enclave, or another compatible GM truck or SUV, is experiencing sudden stalls, poor acceleration, or a dreaded no-start condition, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common culprit. This small but critical component acts as the brain for your fuel pump, and when it fails, it leaves you stranded. Don’t replace the entire fuel pump assembly until you’ve considered this vital part.

We take the guesswork and high cost out of the repair. This Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 15213110, arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle. All we need is your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during checkout. This means you can skip the expensive trip to the dealership for programmingโsaving you time, towing fees, and labor costs. It’s a direct-fit replacement, ready for installation right out of the box.
A Real-World Scenario from My Shop
A customer’s 2008 Tahoe came in on a tow truck last month. It would crank but not start. The owner had already spent hundreds on a new fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan showed code P069E – Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Off. Instead of guessing, we went straight to the FPCM, located on the driver-side frame rail. It was heavily corroded from road salt and moisture. We installed one of our VIN-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up. This simple part saved the customer from further misdiagnosis and unnecessary expense.
Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pump Control Module:
- โ Engine cranks but will not start.
- โ Sudden stalling while driving, especially under load.
- โ Vehicle hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- โ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- โ Check Engine Light with fuel-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) like P069E, P0230, or P025A.
Easy Installation Guide for the 2009 Enclave Fuel Module
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On many GM vehicles like the Enclave, Traverse, and Acadia, the FPCM is mounted to the rear subframe or crossmember. On trucks and large SUVs, it’s often on the driver-side frame rail near the spare tire. Check your service manual for the exact location.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Use a small screwdriver to release the locking tab if necessary. Then, unbolt the old module from the frame.
- Clean the Area: Before installing the new module, clean the mounting surface and the electrical connector pins to ensure a solid connection and proper grounding.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place and securely reconnect the electrical harness.
- Final Step: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm the repair is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How do I know if my Fuel Pump Control Module is bad?
- A: Common signs include a no-start condition where the engine still cranks, stalling, and specific check engine codes like P069E. A technician can also check for voltage at the fuel pump; no voltage often points to a bad FPCM.
- Q: Why do I need to provide my VIN?
- A: Your VIN allows us to program the module with the exact software and calibrations for your specific vehicle. This ensures it communicates correctly with your engine computer (ECM) and functions perfectly upon installation.
- Q: Is this a difficult part to install myself?
- A: For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a straightforward repair. The main challenge is safely accessing the module, which is located underneath the vehicle. Since our part is pre-programmed, no special electronic tools are needed.
- Q: What happens if I install this without it being programmed?
- A: An unprogrammed module will not work. The vehicle will likely not start and will set communication error codes. Our pre-programming service eliminates this problem entirely.
- Q: Is this the same as a fuel pump driver module?
- A: Yes, the terms Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) and Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM) are often used interchangeably to describe the same part that controls the vehicle’s fuel pump.
