Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions to reply with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is a critical step.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
No. This 2005 Trailblazer EXT TCM is shipped fully programmed and ready for installation. In most cases, a security relearn procedure may be required, which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions can be provided upon request.
Where is the TCM located on my 2005 Trailblazer EXT?
On the 2005 Trailblazer EXT with the 8-cylinder engine, the Transmission Control Module is typically located in the engine compartment on the driver’s side (LH).
Will this fix my specific transmission problem?
This module is designed to fix all electronic and software-related issues originating from the TCM itself. If your transmission has internal mechanical failures (like a burnt clutch or bad torque converter), this part will not resolve those issues. It is crucial to have the vehicle properly diagnosed.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
The warranty covers the module against failure for a period of one year from the date of purchase. If the unit fails within this period, we will provide a replacement part. The warranty covers the part itself, not labor or diagnostic costs.
