Is Your GM Vehicle Stalling, Sputtering, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more stressful than a vehicle you can’t rely on. If your 2013-2014 GMC Acadia, or another compatible GM truck or SUV, is experiencing sudden stalling, hesitation when accelerating, a persistent check engine light, or simply won’t start, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very common culprit. This small but critical component regulates the voltage to your fuel pump, and when it fails, it starves your engine of the fuel it needs to run properly. Don’t let a faulty module leave you stranded—we have the precise, reliable solution you need.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing FPCM can manifest in several ways, often triggering specific Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If you’ve scanned your vehicle and found codes like P069E, P0230, or P0606, you’ve likely found the source of your problem. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical system failure that can affect safety and leave you with an undrivable vehicle. Our solution is this genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module, which is a direct-fit replacement. More importantly, we offer a service that sets us apart: we professionally program this programmed 2013-2014 Acadia fuel pump control module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before we ship it. This means no expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It arrives at your door ready for a straightforward, plug-and-play installation, getting you back on the road with confidence.

An Expert’s Note: We recently had a customer with a 2013 Chevy Traverse whose local shop insisted he needed a new in-tank fuel pump assembly—a costly and labor-intensive job. He was hesitant and, after some research, found his symptoms (stalling under load, P069E code) pointed to the FPCM. He ordered this exact programmed 2013-2014 Acadia fuel pump control module from us, provided his VIN, and installed it himself in under an hour. The Traverse fired right up and has been running perfectly ever since. He saved hundreds of dollars and the headache of an unnecessary repair by correctly diagnosing the problem. Often, the module is the issue, not the pump itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN is essential because it allows us to load the correct GM-certified software and calibration files onto the module. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM) and other systems, just like a new part from the dealership would. Without this step, the module will not function.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most of the listed vehicles, the FPCM is located on the frame rail or crossmember and is accessible with basic hand tools. Typically, it involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and removing a few bolts. Because our module is pre-programmed, the physical replacement is the only step required. Many DIYers can complete the job in under an hour.
Will this definitely fix a P069E code?
The DTC P069E (“Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF”) is the most common code indicating a failed FPCM. While you should always confirm your diagnosis, in the vast majority of cases, replacing the module with this pre-programmed unit is the definitive fix for this specific code and its related symptoms.
What happens if I don’t replace a failing FPCM?
A failing FPCM will only get worse. Intermittent stalling can become a constant no-start condition, potentially leaving you stranded in an unsafe location. It can also cause the fuel pump to run inefficiently, potentially shortening its lifespan and leading to a more expensive repair down the road.
How is this different from a module at a local auto parts store?
A module purchased from a typical parts store is a blank slate—it has no software. You would still need to have your vehicle towed to a dealership or a high-end shop with expensive GM tools to have it programmed. Our service combines the part and the essential programming into one package, delivering a true plug-and-play solution to your door.
Is this compatible with part number 20964304?
Yes. This module, 20964305, is a fully compatible and often updated replacement for the original part number 20964304. It will function identically once programmed for your vehicle.
