Is a Flashing ‘Service 4WD’ Light Ruining Your Drive?
There’s nothing more frustrating than losing control of your truck’s four-wheel-drive system. Whether you’re facing a stubborn ‘Service 4WD’ message on the dash, your selector switch is unresponsive, or you’re stuck in a single drive mode, a faulty Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) is almost always the culprit. For the dependable owner of a hardworking GM truck or SUV, this isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a loss of capability and confidence. This is your direct, no-hassle solution to restore full command of your vehicle’s drivetrain.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, this pre-programmed module is the definitive fix you need. Don’t let a small electronic box sideline your powerful truck. Common indicators of a failing TCCM include:
- The dreaded “Service 4WD” or “Service Four Wheel Drive” warning light.
- Inability to switch between 2WD, 4HI, and 4LO.
- Selector switch lights are blinking or completely dark.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as C0306, C0321, C0327, or U1000.
- A grinding or clunking noise when attempting to shift the transfer case.

We take a genuine GM Transfer Case Control Module 24241143 and program it specifically to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ever leaves our facility. This critical step ensures perfect communication between the module and your truck’s other systems, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.

An Expert’s Note: Many owners replace their TCCM only to find the problem persists, not realizing the new module is essentially a blank slate. Without VIN-specific programming, it cannot communicate with the vehicle’s BCM and ECM. We see it all the time. Our process eliminates that critical point of failure. By programming the module *before* we ship, we’re not just selling you a part; we’re delivering a successful repair right to your door. You save hundreds in potential labor and programming fees and get your truck back to 100% capability faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is a critical step.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For most of the listed GM trucks and SUVs, the TCCM is located on the driver’s side of the dashboard, often behind the lower dash panel near the steering column. It’s typically held in by a few bolts and has simple electrical connectors. Many of our customers with basic mechanical skills are able to perform the replacement in under an hour.
How do I know if this will fit my truck?
This module fits a wide range of 2007-2014 GM models including the Silverado, Sierra, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, and Avalanche. Please review the detailed fitment list in this description. If your vehicle and year are listed, and you are experiencing TCCM-related symptoms, this is the correct part for you.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module is the solution for failures within the TCCM itself, which cause the vast majority of ‘Service 4WD’ issues. However, it will not fix mechanical problems within the transfer case (like a worn chain or shift fork) or a faulty encoder motor. If you are unsure, it is always best to have a diagnostic scan performed to confirm the TCCM is the source of the fault codes.
What if I install it and still have issues?
Because each unit is programmed and verified, issues are rare. If a problem persists after installation, it strongly suggests the fault may lie elsewhere in the 4WD system, such as the encoder motor, the dash switch, or wiring. This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty for any defects in the module itself.
