Is Your Buick Rendezvous Shifting Erratically?
Experiencing harsh shifts, delayed gear engagement, or a sudden check engine light in your family SUV can be stressful. These are classic signs of a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM), the electronic brain of your automatic transmission. Don’t let a faulty module compromise your vehicle’s reliability and safety. This VIN-programmed T42 TCM is the definitive solution to restore the smooth, predictable performance you depend on for daily drives and family trips.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing TCM can manifest in several ways, often getting worse over time. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s time for a replacement. This module is engineered to solve these exact issues:
- Harsh or Erratic Shifting: Abrupt, jerky gear changes or a feeling of the transmission slipping.
- Limp Mode Activation: The vehicle gets stuck in a single gear (usually 2nd or 3rd) to prevent further damage.
- Warning Lights: The Check Engine Light or a dedicated transmission warning light is illuminated on your dash.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): Common codes like P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction) or specific solenoid codes (e.g., P0750-P0758) are stored.
- Poor Performance: A noticeable drop in fuel economy, delayed acceleration, or a complete failure to shift gears.
Installing this pre-programmed 2006-2007 Buick Rendezvous transmission control module directly addresses the root cause of these problems, restoring communication between your engine and transmission for flawless operation.

Where is the TCM located on my 2006-2007 Buick Rendezvous?
On the Buick Rendezvous for these model years, the Transmission Control Module is typically located inside the air cleaner box in the engine compartment. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting the removal and installation process.
