Expert Insight: The Power of Pre-Programming
Many owners don’t realize that a new TCM won’t work correctly if it isn’t programmed to the vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). A generic, non-programmed module will fail to communicate with the Engine Control Module (ECM) and other systems, leading to the same shifting problems or even preventing the vehicle from starting. Our VIN programming service isn’t just a convenienceโit’s the most critical step for a successful repair. We load the latest GM software updates for your specific Rendezvous, ensuring all systems work in perfect harmony the moment you plug it in. This saves you hundreds of dollars in dealership fees and days of vehicle downtime.

Where is the TCM located on my 2006-2007 Buick Rendezvous?
