Restore Smooth Shifting to Your Pontiac Pursuit
Are you struggling with erratic shifting, dashboard warning lights, or a transmission that seems to have a mind of its own?

By replacing your old module with this professionally programmed 2005 Pontiac Pursuit TCM, you are not just swapping a part; you are restoring the core logic that controls your vehicle’s transmission, bringing back the smooth, predictable performance you depend on.

An Expert’s Note on Programming
With over two decades of hands-on diagnostics, I’ve seen countless drivers chase transmission problems, replacing perfectly good mechanical parts when the real issue was electronic. The TCM is the brain of your automatic transmission. Using a generic or unprogrammed module is like giving that brain amnesia. It doesn’t know your car’s specific parameters. Our VIN-based programming process ensures your new 2005 Pontiac Pursuit TCM integrates flawlessly, speaking the exact same language as your Engine Control Module and other vehicle systems. This is the secret to a successful, one-time repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically find this on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a small plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard visible through the windshield.
Is any additional programming needed after I install it?
No. This module is a true plug-and-play solution. Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, no further programming or dealer visits are required. In some cases, a transmission relearn procedure may be recommended, which can often be done by following a specific drive cycle.
My old module has a different part number. Will this still work?
Yes, most likely. This module is compatible with a range of original equipment part numbers, including 24223112, 24226863, 24233595, 24234189, and 24239427. As long as your vehicle is a 2005 Pontiac Pursuit, this programmed TCM is the correct fit.
What specific problems does this part fix?
This part is designed to fix electronic and software-related transmission issues. This includes problems like harsh/erratic shifting, getting stuck in gear, communication error codes (like U0101), and other symptoms directly related to a failing TCM. It will not fix internal mechanical failures like worn clutches or a bad valve body.
Why is a programmed 2005 Pontiac Pursuit TCM a better choice than a used one?
A used TCM from a salvage yard is programmed to a different vehicle and may have the same underlying faults as your original. Our modules are programmed specifically for your car with the latest software updates from GM, ensuring correct operation and resolving issues that older software versions may have had.
