Is Your 2007-2009 Tahoe Shifting Erratically or Stuck in Gear?
If you’re dealing with the frustration of a transmission that won’t shift correctly, bangs into gear, or has put your Tahoe into a crippling limp mode, you know how stressful it can be. Many owners immediately fear a catastrophic transmission failure, envisioning a repair bill in the thousands. But after 20+ years of diagnosing these exact issues, I can tell you that the problem often isn’t the expensive hard parts inside your transmission—it’s the electronic brain that controls it: the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
From the Shop Floor: “A customer’s 2008 Tahoe came in last week with a P0700 code and it was stuck in 3rd gear. Another shop had quoted them for a full transmission rebuild. Before going down that road, we checked the basics. The fluid was clean, and the wiring harness looked good. On a hunch, we swapped in a known-good T42 TCM, and the problem vanished instantly. The original module’s internal logic had failed, a common issue I’ve seen hundreds of times. This simple replacement saved the customer over $3,000.”
The Direct Solution: A VIN-Programmed 2007-2009 Tahoe Transmission Module
This T42 Transmission Control Module, part number 24235340, is the definitive solution for restoring your vehicle’s transmission performance. It’s not just a part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install fix. We take the hassle and guesswork out of the repair by pre-programming each module to your vehicle’s specific VIN. This ensures it communicates perfectly with the Engine Control Module (ECM) and other vehicle systems from the moment you plug it in.

Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
One of the biggest benefits of our module is that it arrives ready for installation, saving you the time and expense of a dealership visit for programming. The installation is straightforward for any DIYer with basic tools.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent electrical shorts and help reset the vehicle’s computer systems.
- Locate the Module: On your 2007-2009 Tahoe, the TCM is typically found in the engine bay, mounted next to the battery.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. Use a small screwdriver to gently release the locking tabs if needed. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, VIN-programmed module into place. Firmly reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click and are fully seated.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. While the system often resets itself, it’s good practice to use a basic OBD2 scan tool to clear any stored transmission codes. Start the vehicle and enjoy smooth shifting!
