Is Your Chevrolet Express Van Shifting Erratically?

If your 2006-2014 Chevrolet Express 1500 is experiencing harsh shifting, getting stuck in gear, or displaying a check engine light, a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM) is the most likely culprit. The TCM is the electronic brain of your automatic transmission, responsible for controlling shift points, torque converter clutch engagement, and line pressure. When it fails, it can leave your workhorse van unreliable and unsafe. This replacement GM T42 Transmission Control Module, part number 24240449, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and dependability.

The Critical Role of a Healthy TCM

A fully functional TCM ensures your transmission operates with precision. It constantly analyzes data from sensors like vehicle speed, engine RPM, and throttle position to execute flawless gear changes. A faulty module disrupts this communication, leading to a cascade of problems. Symptoms often start as minor annoyances, like a slight hesitation between gears, but can quickly escalate to severe issues like being stuck in “limp mode” (typically 2nd or 3rd gear), which is a safety feature to prevent further damage. Ignoring these signs can lead to premature wear on clutches and other internal transmission components, resulting in far more expensive repairs down the road.

From the Diagnostic Bay

We had a local contractor bring in his 2011 Express 2500 work van. He was losing jobs because the van would intermittently refuse to shift out of 2nd gear, especially on hot days. He’d already replaced a shift solenoid with no luck. After scanning the vehicle, we found a P0700 code (Transmission Control System Malfunction) and several intermittent solenoid circuit codes. We knew from experience this pointed directly to a failing TCM. Instead of a costly trip to the dealer, we installed one of our VIN-programmed T42 modules. The entire job took less than 30 minutes. The van was back on the road the same afternoon, shifting perfectly, and the contractor was thrilled to have his reliable work vehicle back without the dealership hassle and expense.

Your Direct-Fit Express 1500 Transmission Module Solution

This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. The biggest challenge with replacing modern electronic modules is the need for expensive, dealer-specific programming. We eliminate that step entirely. By providing your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, we program the module with the latest GM software specific to your Express 1500. This ensures that it communicates flawlessly with your van’s Engine Control Module (ECM) and other systems right out of the box. This plug-and-play convenience saves you time, money, and the frustration of a dealership appointment.

Common Symptoms of a Failing GM T42 TCM

  • ✔️ Harsh, delayed, or erratic gear shifts.
  • ✔️ Vehicle stuck in a single gear (limp mode).
  • ✔️ Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light illuminated.
  • ✔️ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0750, or other solenoid-related faults.
  • ✔️ Failure to upshift or downshift properly.
  • ✔️ Decreased fuel economy and potential for transmission overheating.
  • ✔️ Complete loss of communication with the transmission.

Simple Installation, Lasting Results

Designed for a straightforward installation, this module is typically located in the engine compartment on the right-hand side of your Express van. The process is simple enough for a seasoned DIYer or can be completed quickly by any professional technician. Just disconnect the battery, unbolt the old module, disconnect the wiring harnesses, and install the new one. Once installed, reconnect the battery and use a standard OBD2 scanner to clear any stored fault codes. Best of all, there is no core charge, so you don’t have to worry about the cost or hassle of sending your old part back.

Wide Compatibility Beyond the Express Van

While this is the perfect solution for your Express 1500, this versatile T42 module also fits a vast range of other GM vehicles from 2006-2014, including the Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Impala; GMC Sierra, Yukon, Savana; Buick LaCrosse; Cadillac DTS, and many more equipped with 4-speed automatic transmissions like the 4L60E, 4L65E, and 4L70E.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “VIN Programmed” mean for my installation?

VIN programming means we load the module with the specific software and calibrations for your vehicle’s exact configuration before we ship it. This makes the module plug-and-play, allowing it to work correctly immediately upon installation without requiring a trip to the dealership for expensive programming.

Is this part difficult to install myself?

For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is straightforward. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, locating the module in the engine bay, unplugging the electrical connectors, removing a few bolts, and reversing the process. The entire job usually takes under 30 minutes.

Will this module fix a P0700 trouble code?

A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating the TCM has detected a problem. While this module often resolves the root cause of a P0700 (which is frequently internal TCM failure), it’s essential to diagnose any other codes that are present. In many cases where the TCM is the primary failure, replacing it will clear the P0700 and related codes.

Do I need to return my old TCM?

No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, which saves you the time, money, and hassle of packaging and shipping it back.

How can I confirm this part fits my vehicle?

This module fits 2006-2014 Chevrolet Express 1500 vans and many other GM models. You can verify fitment by matching your old part number to the list of interchangeable numbers provided in the description or by using our website’s vehicle selector tool. Providing your VIN at checkout ensures we program it correctly for your specific application.
