- Warning Lights: A persistent Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light on your dash.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): Common codes like P0700, P0750-P0758 (solenoid circuit faults), or other transmission-related errors.
- Poor Performance: A sudden drop in fuel economy or a complete failure to shift gears.
Installing this pre-programmed 2006-2014 Savana 2500 transmission control module restores the precise electronic control your transmission needs to function correctly, getting you back to work without the hassle.
