Is Your Escalade, Tahoe, or Sierra Stalling or Refusing to Start?
A sudden stall on the highway, hesitation when you press the gas, or a vehicle that cranks but won’t start are more than just inconveniences—they’re often signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). This critical component, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain behind your vehicle’s fuel delivery system. It precisely controls the voltage sent to the fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the exact amount of fuel it needs for optimal performance, efficiency, and emissions. When it fails, it can leave you stranded. Don’t let a faulty module dictate your day. This direct-fit, pre-programmed FPCM is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s reliability and power.
Expert Pro Tip
Before replacing your FPCM, always inspect the ground wire connection. On most GM trucks and SUVs from this era, the module is mounted to the frame rail, and the ground wire attaches nearby. This area is exposed to the elements, and corrosion on the ground connection is a very common cause of FPCM failure and intermittent fuel delivery issues. Cleaning the frame contact point and the wire terminal with a wire brush can sometimes resolve the issue, but if the module has already been damaged by voltage spikes, replacement is necessary.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine stalling unexpectedly, especially while driving or under load.
- ✔ Vehicle cranks but will not start (no fuel pressure).
- ✔ Hesitation, stumbling, or sputtering during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and performance, sometimes triggering a ‘limp mode’.
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P069E, P0230, P025A, or U0109.
- ✔ A loud whining noise from the fuel pump as it runs at 100% duty cycle due to lack of control.
The Definitive Solution: A Pre-Programmed Escalade ESV Fuel Pump Module
Replacing an FPCM used to mean a trip to the dealership for expensive diagnostic and programming fees. We’ve eliminated that step. When you purchase this module, we use the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) you provide to flash it with the latest, most stable GM-certified software specifically for your vehicle. This ensures perfect communication with your vehicle’s other computers, like the Engine Control Module (ECM), and precise control over the fuel system. It arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation. Simply unbolt the old module, disconnect the electrical harness, and install the new one. No extra tools, no software, no dealer appointment needed.
Wide-Ranging GM Compatibility
While this is a perfect solution for the 2008-2009 Cadillac Escalade ESV, this FPCM is a genuine multi-fit component for a vast range of GM trucks and SUVs. It is a direct replacement for multiple part numbers, including: 13501024, 15213110, 20759945, 20850907, 25785013, 25854536, 25866052, and 25967325. It fits popular models like the Chevrolet Silverado & Suburban, GMC Sierra & Yukon, Hummer H2 & H3, and many more. Please verify the fitment list to ensure it matches your specific vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this module need to be programmed?
The Fuel Pump Control Module communicates with your vehicle’s main computer (ECM) on a data network. Programming it with your specific VIN ensures it has the correct software and parameters to operate seamlessly within that network, controlling fuel pressure according to your engine’s exact requirements. An unprogrammed module will not function.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Escalade?
On most GM trucks and SUVs of this generation, including the Escalade, Tahoe, and Silverado, the FPCM is typically mounted on the driver’s side frame rail, often above or near the spare tire. It’s a small silver box with a single large electrical connector.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
Yes! Because we program the module to your VIN before shipping, it is 100% plug-and-play. Once you receive it, you simply need to disconnect the battery, unbolt the old module, plug in the new one, and bolt it back into place. No further programming is required.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is a critical part of the order process.
Will this fix my P069E trouble code?
DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF) is one of the most common codes indicating a failed FPCM. While you should always perform a complete diagnosis, a faulty module is the leading cause of this code, and replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the most common and effective repair.
Is this part compatible with my 2008 GMC Sierra?
Yes, this module is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Sierra 1500. We recommend checking the full fitment list on the product page to confirm compatibility with your specific model and options before ordering.
