Restore Your Escalade’s Reliability and Performance
Is your 2013-2014 Cadillac Escalade ESV experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, hesitation on acceleration, or a complete no-start condition? Before you suspect the fuel pump itself, the culprit is often a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen this exact scenario countless times. The FPCM is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, your engine is starved of fuel, leading to a host of performance problems and leaving you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a safety concern.
This is your direct, permanent solution. We offer a genuine GM Fuel Pump Control Module, part number 20964305, that comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This isn’t a generic, one-size-fits-all part. We load the latest, most stable software from General Motors before it ships, ensuring perfect communication with your vehicle’s computer systems and resolving the root cause of the failure. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you significant time and money.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a customer with a 2014 Escalade ESV who was at his wit’s end. His vehicle would randomly stall at stoplights and occasionally refuse to start in the morning. He had already replaced the fuel pump, but the problem persisted. When he brought it to my bay, a quick scan showed a P069E code—Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. Instead of just swapping the module, we checked the wiring and found it solid. The issue was internal to the module itself, a common failure point due to heat and vibration on the frame rail. We installed one of these VIN-programmed modules, and the fix was immediate. The pre-flashed software ensures the module operates within the correct parameters from the moment it’s plugged in, preventing the communication errors that plague non-programmed units. That customer drove away with a reliable vehicle and peace of mind, all without a costly dealer visit.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Engine cranks but will not start
- ✔ Stalling, especially when coming to a stop or at idle
- ✔ Severe hesitation or sputtering during acceleration
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- ✔ Check Engine Light with codes like P069E, P0230, or U0109 (Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Control Module)
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the 2013-2014 Escalade ESV Fuel Pump Module is a job most DIY enthusiasts can handle in their own driveway. Since this part arrives programmed, no special scan tools are needed.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Locate the Module: On the Escalade ESV, Tahoe, and other similar GM trucks/SUVs, the FPCM is typically mounted to the driver’s side (LH) frame rail, often near the spare tire.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Be gentle with the locking tabs. Then, unbolt the module from the frame. These bolts may be rusty, so a little penetrating oil can help.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed module into place. Reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into place.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds (without starting) to allow the systems to initialize, then start the engine. Your vehicle should now run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is VIN programming so important for this part?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software onto the module. This ensures it communicates correctly with the Engine Control Module (ECM) and other systems, regulating fuel pressure accurately for your specific engine and emissions setup. A non-programmed module will not function.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most listed trucks and SUVs, this is a straightforward DIY repair. The module is typically on the frame rail and accessible with basic hand tools. Since we program it for you, it’s a true plug-and-play installation.
Will this fix a P069E check engine light code?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a faulty FPCM is the direct cause of a P069E code. Replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the correct and reliable fix.
What happens after I place my order?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will then program the module with the latest GM software specific to your vehicle before shipping it out.
