Are you fighting a losing battle with your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse that stalls, hesitates, or refuses to start? It’s a frustrating and common issue, but the fix is often simpler and less expensive than you think. In many cases, the culprit isn’t the fuel pump itself, but its electronic brain: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This module is your direct-fit, reliable solution, arriving pre-programmed with the latest GM software specifically for your vehicle’s VIN.
Mounted on the rear crossmember, the original FPCM on a Traverse is exposed to the harsh elements—water, road salt, and debris. Over time, this exposure leads to corrosion and internal electronic failure. This is why a simple fuel pump replacement often doesn’t solve the problem. This module corrects that core issue, restoring precise fuel pressure regulation and bringing your engine’s performance and reliability back to factory standards.
We take the guesswork and high costs out of the equation. Forget towing your vehicle to a dealership and paying steep fees for diagnostics and programming. Simply provide us with your VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash this module for you. When it arrives, it’s ready for a straightforward, plug-and-play installation. This is the definitive fix for a failing 2009 Traverse Fuel Pump Control Module.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in a 2008 Yukon XL with a classic complaint: it would crank but not start after sitting overnight, but would sometimes start later in the day. They had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan showed a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination). Instead of just throwing another part at it, we inspected the FPCM on the frame rail. It was heavily corroded. We installed a pre-programmed module, and the truck fired up instantly. It’s a perfect example of why diagnosing the entire system, especially the FPCM, is critical on these GM platforms.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially under load or when warm
- ✔ Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or P0627
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning work.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On the 2009 Traverse, the FPCM is typically mounted to the rear crossmember. On many GM trucks and SUVs, it’s found on the driver-side frame rail, near the spare tire.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Be gentle to avoid breaking the locking tab. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module to the frame.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- ✔ Final Connections: Plug the electrical connector firmly into the new module until it clicks. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Cycle the Key: Turn the ignition key to the ‘On’ position (without starting) for 10-15 seconds to allow the fuel system to prime. Start the vehicle and check for proper operation.

Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. This is the biggest benefit we offer. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. This means it’s ready for installation right out of the box, saving you hundreds in dealership programming fees.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we have this information to ensure it is programmed correctly for your vehicle.
Is this the same as the fuel pump?
No. This is the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), sometimes called a Fuel Pump Driver Module. It is a separate electronic computer that receives commands from the main Engine Control Module (ECM) and precisely controls the voltage and speed of the in-tank fuel pump.
Will this fix my P069E check engine light code?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. The P069E code is specifically related to a fault detected by the Fuel Pump Control Module. Replacing a faulty FPCM is the standard, correct repair for this code.
What if I install it and it doesn’t fix the problem?
While this module fixes the most common cause of these symptoms, vehicle diagnostics can be complex. We recommend confirming the diagnosis or consulting with a professional mechanic. However, because this part is pre-programmed with the latest GM software, you can be confident you are installing a perfectly functioning component, eliminating it as a variable in your troubleshooting.
