Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a VIN-programmed TCM do?
Programming the module to your vehicle’s VIN ensures that it has the correct software and calibrations for your specific engine, transmission, and options. This allows it to communicate perfectly with your car’s other computers right out of the box, for a true plug-and-play installation without any extra steps.
Is this a difficult part to install on my Pontiac G5?
No, this is a straightforward repair for a DIYer with basic tools. On the 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, the TCM is typically located on the LH strut tower, making it easily accessible in the engine bay. The entire process usually takes less than 30 minutes.
Will this 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, it’s essential to diagnose any other specific codes that are present (like solenoid codes) to confirm the TCM is the issue. In many cases, replacing a faulty TCM like our 24239926 VIN Programmed TCM is the correct fix.
Do I need any special tools to install this?
You will only need basic hand tools, such as a socket set, to remove and replace the module. We do recommend disconnecting the battery before you begin and using a basic code scanner to clear any stored fault codes after installation is complete.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
You can enter your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during the checkout process. Please double-check it for accuracy to ensure perfect programming for your Pontiac G5.
