Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2009 Chevrolet Traverse or other GM vehicle experiencing frustrating issues like engine stalling, hesitation during acceleration, or a dreaded crank-no-start condition? Before you condemn the in-tank fuel pump, the culprit is often the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, and when it fails, it can leave you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a safety concern. We offer a dependable, pre-programmed solution to get you back on the road with confidence.
This is a direct-fit replacement FPCM that comes fully programmed with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle. Simply provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) after purchase, and our experts will flash the module before it ships. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming—it arrives ready for installation, saving you significant time and money. This is the definitive fix for a faulty 2009 Traverse Fuel Pump Module and a wide range of other GM trucks and SUVs.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A 2008 Silverado 1500 came into my bay with a classic intermittent stall. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. He was frustrated, and rightly so. On these trucks, the FPCM is mounted to the driver-side frame rail, exposed to everything the road throws at it. I put the truck on the lift and immediately saw the issue: the module’s aluminum casing was heavily corroded from years of road salt and moisture. A tap test on the module caused the engine to stumble. The corrosion had worked its way inside, compromising the circuit board. A new, pre-programmed FPCM had him running perfectly in under 30 minutes. It’s a textbook example of why you should always check the FPCM first for fuel delivery problems on these vehicles.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start.
- ✔ Vehicle starts and then immediately stalls.
- ✔ Stuttering or hesitation under acceleration or load.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, or U0109.
- ✔ A loud whining noise from the fuel pump, as it may be running at full power constantly.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2009 Traverse Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. While locations vary, the process is generally similar.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: On the 2009 Traverse, the FPCM is typically found mounted to the rear crossmember. On trucks like the Silverado or Sierra, it’s on the left-hand (driver side) frame rail, often near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector. Be gentle with the locking tab, as it can become brittle over time. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in the same location and secure it with the original hardware. Reconnect the electrical harness, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10-15 seconds to allow the system to prime before starting the engine. Your vehicle is ready to go!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module is professionally flashed with the latest GM software using your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. It is a true plug-and-play solution.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN is required to load the exact, correct software calibration for your vehicle’s specific configuration. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
Yes, a faulty FPCM is the most common cause of a P069E code (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded On). Replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for that issue.
Where is this module located on my 2009 Traverse?
On the 2009 Chevy Traverse, the fuel pump control module is typically mounted on the rear crossmember, making it accessible from underneath the vehicle.
Is this part different from the fuel pump?
Yes. The fuel pump is located inside your fuel tank. This is the separate electronic control module that tells the fuel pump how fast to run. It’s often a more common failure point and is much easier to replace.
