If you’re dealing with the frustrating and unpredictable behavior of a failing transmission in your 2007-2010 Saturn VUE, you’re not alone. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is the electronic brain of your automatic transmission, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a host of problems that make your vehicle feel unreliable and unsafe. This replacement GM T42 TCM, part number 24243901, is the definitive solution to restore crisp, smooth shifting and get your vehicle back to factory performance without an expensive trip to the dealership.

A Technician’s Notebook: The Phantom Shifting Problem

I once had a 2008 Saturn VUE in my bay that was giving its owner fits. The complaint was intermittent harsh shifting and occasionally getting stuck in 3rd gear, but only after driving for 20-30 minutes. We couldn’t replicate it on short test drives. After checking fluid levels and scanning for codes (we found a generic P0700), I suspected the TCM. These T42 modules, often mounted in the engine bay, are susceptible to heat cycles. Over thousands of cycles, internal solder joints can crack, causing electrical opens only when the module gets hot. We replaced the TCM with a VIN-programmed unit, and the problem vanished. It’s a classic failure mode I’ve seen hundreds of times on these GM platforms.

Is Your Saturn VUE Exhibiting These Transmission Faults?

A faulty TCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is likely the component you need to replace your 2007-2010 VUE Transmission Module.

  • ✔ Abrupt, jerky, or delayed gear shifts.
  • ✔ The vehicle enters “limp mode,” refusing to shift out of a single gear.
  • ✔ Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light is illuminated on the dash.
  • ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored, such as P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction) or various solenoid-specific codes (e.g., P0750-P0758).
  • ✔ A noticeable drop in fuel economy due to inefficient shifting.
  • ✔ Complete loss of communication with the transmission module.

The Power of Pre-Programmed, Plug-and-Play Simplicity

It arrives at your door ready to install, making it the perfect solution for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts looking to save time and money.

A Straightforward Guide to Installation

Replacing the 2007-2010 VUE Transmission Module is a job most people with basic hand tools can complete in their driveway in under an hour. The module is typically located in the engine compartment for easy access.

  1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
  2. Locate the Module: On the Saturn VUE, you’ll typically find the TCM in the LH front of the engine compartment. It’s a silver box with electrical connectors.
  3. Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical harnesses. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
  4. Install the New Module: Bolt the new, VIN-programmed module into place and securely reconnect the electrical harnesses. Ensure they click into place.
  5. Reconnect and Verify: Reconnect the battery terminal. Start the vehicle and ensure the check engine light is off and the transmission shifts smoothly on a test drive. Using a basic scan tool to clear any stored codes is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is VIN programming so important?

VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific calibration files for shift points, torque converter strategy, and sensor inputs. Without it, the transmission will not function correctly, and you’ll likely have warning lights. Our service saves you this complex and costly step.

Is this a difficult part to install myself?

Not at all. For most models, including the Saturn VUE, it’s located in an easy-to-reach spot in the engine bay. With basic hand tools, it’s a straightforward unbolt-and-replace job that 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 (like an internal short), you should always diagnose any other specific codes (like for a solenoid) that may be present alongside it.

Do I need to send my old module back?

No. We do not require a core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module without any hassle.

What kind of warranty is included?

This module is backed by our one-year, hassle-free warranty, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your repair.
