Restore Peak Transmission Performance in Your 2007 Sierra 2500
Is your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500 exhibiting frustrating transmission problems like harsh shifting, getting stuck in gear, or illuminating the check engine light? These are classic signs of a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM). The TCM is the electronic brain of your automatic transmission, responsible for orchestrating every shift and ensuring smooth, efficient operation. When it falters, your truck’s drivability and reliability are compromised. This genuine OEM-quality T42 TCM, service number 24240400, is the definitive solution, pre-programmed to your truck’s specific VIN for a true plug-and-play repair.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2007 Sierra 2500 work truck towed in, stuck in what the owner called ‘get home mode’—it wouldn’t shift out of 3rd gear. The dash was lit up with a check engine light and a transmission warning. A quick scan showed a P0700 code (Transmission Control System Malfunction) and several solenoid circuit faults. Instead of a costly and time-consuming transmission rebuild, we identified the culprit as the original TCM. We installed one of these VIN-programmed T42 modules. The entire job took less than 30 minutes, right there in the engine bay next to the battery. After clearing the codes, the truck was shifting perfectly, just like it did from the factory. The owner was back on the road the same day, avoiding dealership delays and programming fees.
Signs Your 2007 Sierra 2500 TCM is Failing
A faulty transmission control module can manifest in various ways, often mistaken for internal transmission failure. Before considering a major mechanical repair, check if your truck is showing these common symptoms:
- ✔ Harsh, erratic, or delayed gear shifts.
- ✔ Vehicle enters ‘limp mode,’ often stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear.
- ✔ Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light is on.
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0750, or other solenoid-related codes are present.
- ✔ Failure to upshift or downshift correctly.
- ✔ A noticeable decrease in fuel economy.
- ✔ The transmission seems to slip between gears.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the T42 TCM do on my 2007 Sierra 2500?
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) acts as the central computer for your 4L80E or other compatible automatic transmission. It processes data from various sensors to control shift points, torque converter lockup, and line pressure, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping, it is ready for installation right out of the box. No further programming or trips to the dealership are required.
Where is the TCM located on my 2007 GMC Sierra 2500?
For the new body style (‘smooth door skin’) 2007 Sierra 2500, the TCM is typically found in the engine compartment, mounted next to the battery.
Will this part fix transmission error codes like P0700?
Yes, if the TCM itself is the root cause of the fault. A code like P0700 indicates a general transmission fault requested by the TCM. Replacing a faulty module often resolves this and related solenoid codes. Always ensure you’ve diagnosed the issue correctly.
Do I need to send my old module back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module without any additional fees or return processes.
