Is your 2009 Buick Enclave or other GM vehicle suddenly stalling, hesitating, or refusing to start? A faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), often called a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is one of the most common culprits. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen this exact issue hundreds of times. The FPCM is the electronic brain that tells your fuel pump how much fuel to send to the engine. When it fails, it can leave you stranded without warning.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the hassle and expense out of the repair by pre-programming this module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means you can skip the costly trip to the dealership for programming. Once you provide your VIN after purchase, our experts will flash the module with the latest, most stable software from GM, ensuring optimal performance and fuel efficiency. This is the reliable, straightforward fix you’ve been looking for.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving, especially under load
- ✔ Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor performance
- ✔ A noticeable decrease in fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated with codes like P069E, P0230, or P0627
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in their 2008 Silverado 1500 with an intermittent stalling problem that no other shop could solve. It would run fine for days, then suddenly die at a stoplight. There were no consistent codes, just a random P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded Off). These are the worst to diagnose. Knowing these modules are mounted on the frame rail, exposed to water, salt, and road debris, I went straight to it. The module looked fine from the outside, but after removing it, I found the backplate and connector pins were heavily corroded. This corrosion was causing an intermittent short, killing the fuel supply. A new, pre-programmed FPCM fixed it permanently. Always check the physical condition—it can save you hours of diagnostic headaches.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2009 Enclave Fuel Pump Control Module is a job most DIYers can handle. Since it arrives programmed, no special scan tools are needed.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On most GM trucks and SUVs (Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban), the FPCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, near the spare tire. On crossovers (Enclave, Acadia, Traverse), it’s often on a rear crossmember. Consult a repair manual for your specific model’s location.
- Remove the Old Module: Unplug the electrical connector. Be gentle with the locking tab, as it can be brittle. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Reconnect the electrical connector, ensuring it clicks securely.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position (without starting) for 10 seconds to allow the system to initialize, then start the engine. Your vehicle is ready to go!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is required to load the correct GM-certified software for your specific vehicle’s configuration. This ensures perfect compatibility and performance, eliminating the need for a dealer to program the module.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, this is a plug-and-play repair. Because it comes pre-programmed, installation typically involves unbolting the old module, plugging in the new one, and bolting it back in place. Basic hand tools are all that’s required for most applications.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Enclave?
On the 2009 Buick Enclave, the Fuel Pump Control Module is typically mounted to the rear crossmember, underneath the vehicle. Always confirm the location for your specific vehicle before beginning the repair.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed module will not work. The vehicle’s computer systems will not recognize it, and the fuel pump will not receive the correct signals to operate. Our pre-programming service solves this problem for you.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, fully tested replacement part that has been programmed with the latest software and is guaranteed to restore your vehicle’s function.
