Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2013-2014 Cadillac XTS or other GM vehicle suddenly stalling, hesitating during acceleration, or refusing to start? These are classic signs of a failing Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as a Fuel System Control Module (FSCM). In my 20+ years as a diagnostic technician, I’ve seen these modules cause some of the most frustrating intermittent issues. The FPCM is the brain that tells your fuel pump how much pressure to deliver. When it fails, it starves the engine of fuel, leading to poor performance and leaving you stranded. Don’t let a small electronic part sideline your entire vehicle.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine GM module, part number 22874300, and professionally program it with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle’s VIN. This critical step ensures perfect communication between the module and your vehicle’s computer systems, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. You get a reliable fix that restores factory performance right out of the box.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Intermittent Stall Case
I remember a 2014 Cadillac XTS that came into my shop with a complaint that was every mechanic’s nightmare: it would die randomly with no warning. No check engine light, no consistent pattern. The owner had already replaced the fuel pump itself to no avail. After hooking up my scan tool and monitoring live data, I noticed the fuel pump duty cycle would suddenly drop to zero right before a stall. The culprit wasn’t the pump, but the module commanding it. A failing 2013-2014 XTS Fuel Pump Module can overheat or have internal solder joint failures, causing it to cut out intermittently. We installed a VIN-programmed module, and the car ran flawlessly. This experience is why I stand behind pre-programmed modules—they solve the problem correctly the first time.
Common Signs of a Failing FPCM
- ✔ Engine stalling, especially when warm or under load.
- ✔ Difficulty starting or a complete no-start condition.
- ✔ Rough idle and engine hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Reduced engine power and poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as U0109 (Lost Communication With Fuel Pump Control Module), P069E, or P0230.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the Module: On most compatible vehicles, including the Cadillac XTS, the FPCM is located in the trunk area, behind the right-hand (passenger side) quarter panel trim. You may need to remove some liner clips or panels to access it.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connector(s) from the old module. Then, remove the bolts or nuts securing it to the vehicle body.
- ✔ 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 connector(s) firmly into the new module. Reinstall any trim panels you removed and reconnect the negative battery terminal. It’s a good practice to clear any existing fault codes with a standard OBD2 scanner after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN with the latest GM software. It is a true plug-and-play solution, saving you a trip to the dealer.
What is the difference between an FPCM and an FSCM?
They are the same part. FPCM stands for Fuel Pump Control Module, and FSCM stands for Fuel System Control Module. The terms are used interchangeably in the industry.
Where is this module located on my 2014 XTS?
On the 2013-2014 Cadillac XTS, the fuel pump control module is typically found in the trunk, mounted behind the trim panel on the passenger’s side (right rear quarter panel).
Will this fix a U0109 trouble code?
Yes, in most cases. The DTC U0109 indicates a loss of communication with the fuel pump control module. If the module has failed internally, replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is the correct repair.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we simply need you to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We use this to load the correct software file for your specific car, ensuring perfect compatibility.
