Is Your 2014 Caprice Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle you can’t rely on. If your Caprice is suddenly experiencing erratic engine behavior, poor acceleration, or a dreaded no-start condition, the problem might not be the fuel pump itself, but the sophisticated computer that controls it. As a technician with over two decades of experience under the hood, I’ve seen this exact scenario play out hundreds of times on GM vehicles. The Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM), is a critical component that often fails, leading to symptoms that can be easily misdiagnosed.
Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pump Control Module:
- โ Engine cranking but failing to start
- โ Stalling unexpectedly, especially under load
- โ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- โ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy
- โ Check Engine Light with fuel pressure-related codes (like P069E, P0230, or U0109)
Expert Pro Tip from a 20-Year Veteran
Before you spend hundreds on a new in-tank fuel pump, a common misstep I see is overlooking the FPCM. A simple diagnostic check can save you time and money. With a capable scan tool, check for communication with the FPCM. If it’s not communicating, verify it has good power and ground at the connector. If both are present but the module is unresponsive and won’t command the fuel pump on, you’ve found your culprit. These modules are often tucked away in a quarter panel, where they can be susceptible to moisture and corrosion at the connector pins. Always inspect the harness connector for any signs of green or white powder before installing the new part.
