2015-2016 GMC Sierra Denali 3500 Transmission Control Module (TCM) 24276411 – Pre-Programmed to Your VIN with One-Year Warranty from Highway71AutoParts.com

Frustrated by your GMC Sierra Denali 3500 refusing to shift gears smoothly during heavy towing? Truck owners often ask, “Why is my 2015-2016 Sierra Denali 3500 stuck in limp mode?” or “How do I resolve erratic transmission behavior in my GM heavy-duty pickup?” These issues frequently stem from a failing transmission control module, and I’ve tackled hundreds in my 20+ years fixing GM trucks. This pre-programmed TCM, part number 24276411 (compatible with 24272004), arrives flashed with the latest GM updates using your VIN for a perfect match. It resolves shifting woes without dealership hassles, saving you time and money on diagnostics.

Common Issues & How This Fixes Them

Transmission problems in the 2015-2016 GMC Sierra Denali 3500 often show as delayed shifts, harsh gear changes, or the truck locking into second gear. From my experience, heat buildup near the LH fan shroud—where this module sits—causes about 40% of failures, especially in high-mileage rigs hauling loads.

Drivers report dashboard lights with codes like P0700 or P0751, signaling TCM communication errors. Water intrusion from poor seals exacerbates this, leading to corrosion. This replacement TCM fixes these by restoring precise shift control, incorporating GM’s newest firmware to prevent recurring glitches.

In one case, a client with a 2016 Denali 3500 faced no-reverse issues after off-road use. Scanning revealed TCM faults due to vibration damage. Swapping in this unit cleared the codes and smoothed performance, avoiding a $1,200 dealer bill.

Easy Installation Guide

Locate the TCM on the LH fan shroud in your 2015-2016 Sierra Denali 3500. Disconnect the battery first to avoid shorts.

1. Remove the mounting bolts and unplug connectors carefully.
2. Install the new TCM, securing it firmly to prevent vibration failures.
3. Reconnect and clear codes with an OBD-II scanner.

For relearn, perform a drive cycle: Idle for 5 minutes, then drive 10-15 miles varying speeds. Per GM standards, theft relearn only if no-start occurs—cycle the key on/off 3 times for 10 minutes each, waiting 5 seconds between. No special tools needed for most cases.

Pro Tip: Check transmission fluid levels before install; low fluid often mimics TCM symptoms in these 6-speed setups.
