2007 – 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Transmission Control Module (TCM) 24241806 – Pre-Programmed to Your VIN with One-Year Warranty from Highway71AutoParts.com
Struggling with your 2007-2009 Chevrolet Tahoe refusing to shift out of second gear during a family road trip? That limp mode frustration often stems from a failing transmission control module, and I’ve diagnosed hundreds of these in my 20+ years fixing GM SUVs. Drivers frequently ask, “Why does my Tahoe have harsh shifting and check engine lights?” The answer usually points to the T42 TCM, which oversees gear changes and diagnostics in 4-speed automatics like the 4L60E.
Replace it with our OEM-quality GM T42 Transmission Control Module (part number 24241806), VIN-programmed for seamless fit in your Tahoe. This unit restores smooth torque converter lockup and prevents overheating, compatible with models from 2006-2014 including Tahoe, Yukon, and Silverado. Interchangeable with numbers like 24252114, 24234503, and more, it tackles common DTCs without dealership visits.
Common Issues & How This Fixes Them
Transmission troubles in these Tahoes often arise from electrical glitches or heat damage, especially in high-mileage vehicles towing boats or trailers. In my experience, about 40% of TCM failures I see come from voltage spikes or corroded connectors, leading to symptoms like erratic shifting or no upshifts.
- Harsh shifts or delays: The new TCM recalibrates solenoid timing for precise control.
- Limp mode lock-in: It resets adaptive learning, getting you out of restricted gears fast.
- Warning lights with codes like P0700 or P0750: Pre-programming clears these by matching your VIN exactly.
- Slipping gears and poor efficiency: Enhanced diagnostics optimize fuel use and prevent overheat.
- Intermittent failures: Built-in safeguards reduce electrical gremlins for long-term reliability.
Beyond basics, consider that in off-road use, Tahoes face more vibration, accelerating TCM wear. Swapping to this programmed unit can save $500+ over full transmission rebuilds, based on shop data I’ve tracked.
