Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take my car to a dealer for programming after installation?

Where is the TCM located on a 2006-2010 Chevy Malibu?
On this generation of the Chevrolet Malibu, the Transmission Control Module is typically located on the driver’s side (LH) frame rail in the engine compartment.
Will this part fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating the TCM has detected a problem.
