Restore Your Vehicle’s Power and Reliability
Is your 2013-2014 Cadillac Escalade ESV experiencing sudden stalling, refusing to start, or hesitating when you press the gas? These are frustrating and often dangerous symptoms of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen this exact issue leave countless drivers stranded. The FPCM, also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, your engine is starved of fuel, leading to poor performance and eventual breakdown.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, hassle-free solution. We take this genuine OEM-spec module and professionally flash it with the latest official GM software, programmed specifically to your vehicle’s VIN. This means you can skip the 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.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2013 Yukon XL that came into the bay on a tow truck. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump, thinking that was the obvious fix for his no-start condition, but the problem persisted. After a quick diagnostic scan, I saw code U0109 – Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module. A visual inspection confirmed my suspicion: the original FPCM, mounted on the frame rail, was heavily corroded from years of exposure to road salt and moisture. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the engine fired up on the first try. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the controller, not just the component, saves time and money.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly, especially under load
- ✔ Noticeable hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ An active Check Engine Light with common diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) like P069E, P0230, or U0109
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
For most trucks and SUVs like the Escalade ESV, this is a repair you can handle in your own driveway. The module is typically located on the driver’s side frame rail.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the Module: On most compatible trucks and SUVs, you’ll find the FPCM mounted to the inside of the frame rail, often near the spare tire or above the rear axle.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Then, remove the bolts or nuts (usually 2 or 3) holding the module to its bracket or the frame.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed FPCM in the same location and secure it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect and Finalize: Plug the electrical connectors firmly back into the new module until they click. Reconnect your battery terminal. The vehicle is now ready to start with no further programming required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to flash the module with the exact software and calibrations for your specific vehicle’s configuration. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box, eliminating the need for dealership programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a very manageable job. On most trucks and SUVs, the module is accessible on the frame rail. Since our module is pre-programmed, it’s a simple bolt-off, bolt-on process.
Will this fix a P069E check engine code?
Yes, the DTC P069E (Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination) is one of the most common codes indicating a faulty FPCM. Replacing the module with our pre-programmed unit is the correct repair for this code.
What’s the difference between this and just buying a used one?
A used module will be programmed to a different vehicle and will not work in yours without being reprogrammed. Furthermore, our module is flashed with the very latest GM software, which often includes updates to improve reliability and prevent the original failure from happening again.
How do I send you my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to reply with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information.
