Is Your Cadillac XTS Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a luxury vehicle that won’t run right. If your 2013-2014 Cadillac XTS is experiencing sudden stalling, long crank times, or has left you stranded with a no-start condition, a faulty Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is a very likely culprit. Over my 20+ years turning wrenches, I’ve seen these exact symptoms hundreds of times, often accompanied by the dreaded P069E trouble code. This module is the brain of your fuel delivery system, and when it fails, it starves the engine of the fuel it needs to run smoothly.
The Common Failure Point: Why Your 2013-2014 XTS Fuel Pump Control Module Gives Out
The FPCM, also known as an FSCM, lives a tough life. Tucked away in the right rear quarter panel, it’s subjected to constant vibration and heat cycles. Internally, the electronic components that regulate voltage to the fuel pump are under significant stress. Over time, this leads to internal circuit failure, causing erratic fuel pressure or a complete loss of power to the pump. This isn’t a matter of poor maintenance; it’s a common wear-and-tear item on this GM platform.
Expert Pro Tip from a 20-Year Technician: Before you install the new module, take a close look at the electrical connector that plugs into it. I’ve had vehicles in the shop where a failing fuel pump was drawing too much current, causing the connector pins to overheat, melt, or corrode. If you see any signs of heat damage or green corrosion on the harness-side connector, you must address that first, or you risk damaging the new module. A simple cleaning with a contact cleaner and a small brush can save you from a repeat failure.
