Is Your Escalade Stalling, Sputtering, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than an engine that cranks but won’t catch, or one that dies unexpectedly in traffic. For many 2008-2009 Cadillac Escalade ESV owners, these nerve-wracking issues point directly to a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). This small but critical component is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to your fuel pump. When it fails, it can starve your engine of fuel, leading to a host of performance problems and leaving you stranded.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Yukon Denali (which uses the same system as the Escalade) towed in with a classic “crank, no-start” condition. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump himself, but the problem persisted. He was convinced he had a complex wiring issue. After plugging in our scanner, we saw no fuel pressure command from the PCM and a tell-tale DTC P069E stored in memory. Instead of chasing wires for hours, we went straight to the FPCM on the frame rail. We found it corroded and damaged from road salt and moisture. A new, programmed module had the truck running perfectly in under 30 minutes. The original fuel pump was likely fine; the FPCM was the true culprit all along.
Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pump Control Module
- âś” Engine cranks but will not start
- âś” Sudden engine stalling, especially when coming to a stop or under load
- âś” Hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- âś” Reduced engine power or vehicle entering “limp mode”
- âś” Check Engine Light illuminated with fuel-related codes (e.g., P069E, P0230, P0627, U0109)
- âś” A buzzing noise from the fuel pump that is inconsistent or absent
The Direct-Fit Solution: Your Pre-Programmed 2008-2009 Escalade ESV FPCM
Don’t let a faulty module keep your luxury SUV off the road. This is a direct-replacement Fuel Pump Control Module for your 2008-2009 Cadillac Escalade ESV. The most significant advantage of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This critical step ensures perfect communication between the FPCM and your vehicle’s other computers, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation.
This module is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, restoring precise fuel delivery control. By modulating the fuel pump’s speed based on real-time engine demand, a functioning FPCM not only ensures optimal performance and fuel economy but also extends the life of your fuel pump by not running it at full speed constantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No! That’s the primary benefit of our service. We professionally program the module to your specific VIN before we ship it. This means it arrives ready to install, saving you time and the high cost of dealership programming.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we have this information to perform the programming.
Where is the FPCM located on my 2009 Escalade ESV?
On most GM trucks and SUVs of this generation, including the Escalade ESV, the FPCM is typically mounted to the driver’s side frame rail, often near the spare tire. It is exposed to the elements, which is a common reason for its failure.
Will this fix a P069E trouble code?
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P069E is one of the most common codes indicating a fault with the Fuel Pump Control Module or its circuit. While this module is the most frequent cause, you should always ensure the wiring and connectors are in good condition. In the vast majority of cases, replacing the FPCM will resolve this code.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is straightforward. It typically involves disconnecting the negative battery terminal, safely raising the vehicle, locating the old module on the frame rail, unplugging the electrical connectors, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in its place. The entire process can often be completed in under an hour.
