Is Your Escalade Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re experiencing frustrating fuel delivery problems with your 2008-2009 Cadillac Escalade ESV, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is responsible for regulating the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can starve your engine of fuel, leading to a host of performance issues that can leave you stranded. Don’t let a small electronic box compromise the power and reliability of your luxury SUV.
The Plug-and-Play Solution: No Dealer Visit Required
Typically, replacing an FPCM requires a costly trip to the dealership for programming. We eliminate that hassle and expense. This module is a direct-fit replacement for your original part and comes fully pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest GM software updates. The part you receive will be ready for immediate installation, saving you time, money, and the headache of scheduling a service appointment.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Escalade come into the shop with a classic complaint: it would run fine for a while, then suddenly stall at a stoplight and refuse to restart for 10-15 minutes. The owner had already replaced the in-tank fuel pump, but the problem persisted. A quick scan revealed a P069E code – ‘Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF’. We inspected the original FPCM on the frame rail and found signs of corrosion at the connector. Instead of just cleaning it, we installed a new, VIN-programmed module. The truck fired right up, and the intermittent stalling was completely gone. The problem wasn’t the pump; it was the brain telling the pump what to do.
Diagnosing a Faulty 2008-2009 Escalade ESV Fuel Pump Module
The FPCM is mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, where it’s exposed to road salt, water, and vibrations, which can lead to internal failure. If you’re noticing any of the following symptoms, it’s time to inspect your module.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- âś” Engine stalls unexpectedly, especially when warm.
- âś” Vehicle cranks but will not start (no-start condition).
- âś” Significant loss of engine power and poor acceleration.
- âś” Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- âś” Check Engine Light is on with codes like P069E, P0230, or P025A.
- âś” A loud, constant whining noise from the fuel pump as it runs at full power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. This is the primary benefit of our product. We program the module to your specific VIN before we ship it. It will arrive at your door ready to be installed, making it a true plug-and-play solution.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Escalade ESV?
On most GM trucks and SUVs of this era, including the Escalade, the Fuel Pump Control Module is mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, typically above the spare tire area. It’s a small, black box with a single large electrical connector.
What is the most common trouble code for a bad FPCM?
The most common diagnostic trouble code (DTC) associated with a failing FPCM is P069E, which indicates a fault in the fuel pump control module’s internal circuitry. You may also see codes related to fuel pump circuit performance like P0230.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the module to function correctly in your vehicle.
Will this fix a no-start problem?
If the no-start condition is caused by a lack of fuel pressure due to a failed FPCM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. A proper diagnosis is always recommended to confirm the FPCM is the root cause before ordering.
