Is Your Escalade Stalling or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than the unreliability of a luxury vehicle that won’t start or stalls unexpectedly in traffic. If your 2008-2009 Cadillac Escalade EXT is experiencing hesitation, a crank-no-start condition, or sudden power loss, a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is the most common cause. This critical component regulates the voltage sent to your fuel pump, and when it fails, it leaves you stranded. Restore the dependable performance you expect from your Cadillac with this direct-fit, pre-programmed solution.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty FPCM can mimic other fuel system problems, but it often triggers specific Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If you’ve pulled codes like P069E, P0230, P025A, or U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module), you’ve found the culprit. This module is the definitive solution for:
- Engine cranks but will not start
- Vehicle starts and immediately stalls
- Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration
- Reduced engine power and performance
- Check Engine Light illumination

We take the guesswork and extra expense out of the repair by programming the 2008-2009 Escalade EXT Fuel Pump Control Module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships.

Expert Insight: Why Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners buy a blank FPCM from a local parts store, only to find their truck still won’t start. That’s because on these GM platforms, the FPCM is a networked computer that must be coded to the vehicle’s unique VIN to communicate with the Engine Control Module (ECM) and Body Control Module (BCM). Without this programming, the vehicle’s anti-theft system will not allow the fuel pump to activate. Our VIN-programming service bypasses this entire headache. We handle the complex part, so you can perform a simple, straightforward installation on the driver’s side frame rail and get your Escalade back on the road fast.
