Restore Your Engine’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2009 Buick Enclave or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating and potentially dangerous issues like stalling, hesitation under acceleration, or a complete no-start condition? Before you suspect the fuel pump itself, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen these modules fail frequently, leaving drivers stranded. This module is the electronic brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, your engine is starved of fuel, leading to poor performance and check engine lights.
We offer a direct, hassle-free solution. This Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 15213110, arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle. Simply provide us with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) after purchase, and we handle the complex programming. This saves you a costly trip to the dealership and eliminates the need for expensive scan tools, making this the perfect fix for both DIY mechanics and professional shops looking to save time. Installing a reliable 2009 Enclave Fuel Pump Module is critical for restoring proper fuel delivery and engine operation.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Misleading Fuel Pump Fault
A 2008 Tahoe came into my shop with a classic ‘no-start’ complaint. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the truck still wouldn’t fire up. He was frustrated and out a few hundred dollars. My first step was to check for communication with the FPCM. The scan tool showed a U0109 ‘Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module’ code. Instead of just checking power and ground at the pump, I went to the FPCM mounted on the frame rail. Sure enough, it had power and ground, but no output signal. These modules are exposed to the elements and often fail from corrosion or internal electronic faults. A new, pre-programmed module had the Tahoe running perfectly in under 30 minutes. It’s a textbook example of why diagnosing the *entire* system is key.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is a likely solution. Look out for these common signs and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs):
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially when warm or under load
- ✔ Severe engine hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light illuminated with codes like P069E, P0230, P025A, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the 2009 Enclave Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. The location varies slightly by model (check your service manual), but it’s typically mounted on the vehicle’s frame rail or crossmember.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: Find the old FPCM. On most GM trucks and SUVs like the Tahoe or Sierra, it’s on the driver-side frame rail. On vehicles like the Traverse or Enclave, it’s often on a rear crossmember.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs, as they can become brittle. Then, unbolt the module from the frame.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Ensure it is securely mounted.
- Reconnect: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock in.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds (without starting) to allow the system to prime, then start the vehicle to verify the repair.

Why do you need my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN is required to load the correct, vehicle-specific software from GM onto the module. This ensures perfect communication with your car’s computer system and proper fuel pump operation, preventing compatibility issues.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, for most individuals with basic mechanical skills, this is a straightforward replacement. The module is typically mounted to the frame and held on by a few bolts. Since we program it beforehand, no special tools are needed for software setup.
Will this fix my P069E error code?
Yes, the DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is a very common code indicating a fault with the FPCM. Replacing a failed module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for that code.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, fully tested replacement part that has been programmed with the latest software. It is guaranteed to restore function to your vehicle’s fuel system and is backed by our warranty.
What happens if I install it without programming?
An unprogrammed FPCM will not work. The vehicle’s main computer (ECM/PCM) will not be able to communicate with it, resulting in a no-start condition and communication error codes like U0109. Our pre-programming service eliminates this problem entirely.
