Restore Flawless Shifting to Your GM Truck or SUV

Is your 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado or other GM vehicle suffering from erratic shifting, getting stuck in gear, or displaying transmission-related warning lights? These are classic signs of a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM). The TCM is the electronic brain of your automatic transmission, responsible for orchestrating gear changes, managing torque converter lockup, and monitoring overall transmission health. When it fails, it can mimic the symptoms of a catastrophic transmission failure, leading to costly and unnecessary repairs. This genuine quality GM T42 Transmission Control Module, service part number 24255280, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and drivability.

From the Diagnostic Bay

We had a 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 towed in that was stuck in third gear—classic limp mode. The owner was convinced his 4L60E transmission was shot and was bracing for a multi-thousand-dollar bill. After plugging in our scan tool, we saw a flurry of solenoid circuit codes and a P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction). Instead of immediately condemning the transmission, we checked the TCM. We noticed some slight corrosion on the connector pins. After swapping in a VIN-programmed T42 module, we cleared the codes and took it for a test drive. The truck shifted perfectly, just like it did from the factory. The customer saved a fortune by correctly diagnosing the electronic component instead of replacing the healthy mechanical hardware.

Diagnosing a Failing 2007-2013 Silverado TCM

A faulty TCM can manifest in various ways, often intermittently at first, making diagnosis tricky. It processes information from sensors like vehicle speed, throttle position, and engine RPM to make precise shifting decisions. When the internal circuitry or software becomes compromised, these decisions become erratic. If you’re experiencing any of the issues below, your TCM is the most likely culprit.

Common Symptoms of a Defective T42 Module

  • ✔ Harsh, delayed, or unpredictable gear shifts that slam into gear.
  • ✔ Vehicle enters “limp mode,” often getting stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear to prevent further damage.
  • ✔ The check engine light or a dedicated transmission warning light is illuminated on your dashboard.
  • ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0750, or other solenoid-specific codes are stored.
  • ✔ The transmission refuses to upshift or downshift, leading to poor acceleration and high RPMs.
  • ✔ A noticeable decrease in fuel economy due to inefficient gear management.
  • ✔ Complete loss of communication with the module, resulting in a no-start or no-shift condition.

The Plug-and-Play Solution: Pre-Programmed for Your Vehicle

One of the biggest hurdles in replacing modern vehicle electronics is the need for expensive dealership programming. We eliminate this step entirely. This T42 TCM arrives at your door pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We load the latest GM-certified software and calibrations, ensuring that the module is a direct-fit, plug-and-play replacement. This process guarantees seamless communication with your vehicle’s other computers, like the Engine Control Module (ECM), and restores the original shifting strategy for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. Simply install the part, clear any old codes, and drive away.

This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of original part numbers, including 24252114, 24234503, 24230461, 24242391, and many more, making it a versatile solution for numerous GM models from 2006-2014. It is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, providing a dependable and long-lasting repair for your vehicle’s transmission system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does the T42 TCM do?

The T42 Transmission Control Module (TCM) is a computer that controls all functions of compatible 4-speed automatic transmissions like the 4L60E, 4L65E, and 4L70E. It reads data from various vehicle sensors to control shift solenoids, pressure control solenoids, and the torque converter clutch, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.

Why is VIN programming so important for this part?

VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific calibration files onto the module. This ensures it communicates correctly with the engine computer and other systems. Without it, the transmission may not shift correctly, or the vehicle might not start at all. Our pre-programming service saves you a trip to the dealer and ensures a hassle-free installation.

Is this a difficult part to install myself?

For most DIYers with basic tools, installation is straightforward. The module is typically located in the engine bay (e.g., next to the battery, on a strut tower). The process involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, unbolting the old module, and installing the new one. The entire job can often be completed in under 30 minutes.

Will this fix my P0700 trouble code?

A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating the TCM has detected a problem and has requested the check engine light be turned on. While this module replacement often resolves the root cause that triggered the P0700, it’s crucial to scan for other specific transmission codes (like P07xx) to confirm the diagnosis. A faulty TCM is a very common cause for this code.

Do I need to send my old part back?

No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module or dispose of it without the hassle of returning it, saving you time and money on core deposits and return shipping.
