Restore Peak Transmission Performance in Your Pontiac G5
Is your 2007-2010 Pontiac G5 suffering from erratic shifting, getting stuck in gear, or displaying a check engine light? These are classic signs of a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM). The TCM is the electronic brain of your automatic transmission, responsible for orchestrating smooth gear changes, managing torque converter lockup, and ensuring overall drivetrain efficiency. When it fails, it can lead to poor performance, decreased fuel economy, and potentially severe transmission damage if left unaddressed.
This genuine-quality GM T42 Transmission Control Module, service part number 24235753, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s factory performance. We take the guesswork and dealership hassle out of the equation by pre-programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN. This ensures a seamless, plug-and-play installation with no need for expensive trips to the dealer for additional programming. Simply install the part, and you’re ready to get back on the road with confidence.
Expert Pro Tip: Before installing your new TCM, disconnect the vehicle’s battery for at least 15 minutes. This helps reset the vehicle’s adaptive learning memory and ensures the new module can establish fresh communication with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and other vehicle systems, preventing potential conflicts from old error data.
