Is Your Escalade Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with frustrating fuel delivery problems in your 2010-2012 Cadillac Escalade, a faulty Fuel System Control Module (FSCM) is the most likely culprit. As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen this exact issue hundreds of times on GM trucks and SUVs. The original module is often mounted on the frame rail, exposed to moisture, salt, and road debris, which leads to internal corrosion and eventual failure. This can leave you stranded with a vehicle that cranks but won’t start, or one that stalls intermittently while driving.
A customer’s 2011 Escalade came into my shop last week with these exact symptoms. The check engine light was on with code P069E, and they had already replaced the fuel pump with no success. After a quick diagnostic, we confirmed the FSCM wasn’t commanding the pump correctly. We replaced it with one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired right up and ran perfectly. This is the simple, effective solution you’ve been looking for.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2010-2012 Escalade FSCM
Forget about expensive dealership visits and programming fees. This Fuel System Control Module arrives at your door completely programmed with the latest GM software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. It’s a true plug-and-play repair that you can do in your own driveway with basic hand tools. We handle the complex part so you can get back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms of a Failing FSCM:

- โ Stuttering or hesitation during acceleration
- โ Reduced engine power and poor performance
- โ Check Engine Light with code P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Commanded OFF)
- โ Inconsistent fuel pressure readings
Expert Pro Tip: The Silent Killer of FSCMs
Before you plug in your new module, take a moment to thoroughly inspect the wiring harness connector. The same elements that destroy the module also corrode the connector pins. Use a small wire brush and electrical contact cleaner to scrub away any green or white corrosion. A poor connection can cause intermittent issues or damage the new module. This simple five-minute step is the best insurance for a lasting repair.
Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Installing your new FSCM is a straightforward process. Since we program it beforehand, there are no extra steps required after installation.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the FSCM: On most Escalade models, the module is located on the driver’s side frame rail, typically above the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Then, remove the bolts or nuts holding the old module to the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FSCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect: Firmly plug in the electrical connectors until they click into place. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Start Your Engine: Your vehicle is now ready to start. The check engine light should clear, and your fuel system performance will be restored.
