It’s time to restore the precise, responsive shifting that defines the Cadillac driving experience with our professionally programmed 2004-2005 Cadillac CTS SRX Transmission Control Module.

Expert Insight: Why VIN-Specific Programming is Non-Negotiable
On modern vehicles like your Cadillac, the TCM is the brain of the transmission. It doesn’t just change gears; it constantly communicates with the Engine Control Module (ECM), ABS, and other systems. Using a generic, non-programmed module is a recipe for disaster. It can lead to persistent error codes, poor performance, and even damage to other components. By programming this 2004-2005 Cadillac CTS SRX Transmission Control Module to your specific VIN, we ensure it has the exact software calibration your car was built with, accounting for its specific engine, axle ratio, and tire size. This is the only way to guarantee a correct and lasting repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will use this number to flash the module with the exact GM-certified software for your specific Cadillac CTS or SRX before we ship it to you.
Is this part difficult to install?
The TCM is located in the right-hand front of the engine compartment. For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the replacement is straightforward. However, we always recommend consulting a service manual for your specific vehicle or having the installation performed by a qualified professional mechanic.
Will this fix my specific shifting problem?
This module is the direct solution for issues caused by a faulty TCM. While it resolves the vast majority of electronic shifting problems, such as those listed above, it’s always best to have a proper diagnosis performed to rule out mechanical issues within the transmission itself.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
Providing your VIN is a required step for this part. We cannot ship the module until we receive your VIN, as the programming is essential for the part to function in your vehicle. We will contact you after your purchase to ensure we get the information needed to process your order promptly.
Do I need to perform any other procedures after installation?
Because the unit is pre-programmed, no further programming is required. In some cases, a transmission fluid level check and a brief drive cycle (relearn procedure) may be necessary for the system to fully adapt. This is often outlined in your vehicle’s service manual.
Which part number will I receive?
You will receive a fully compatible module that supersedes or directly replaces the part numbers listed, including 24223376, 24226571, 24229790, and 24240284. It will be programmed and ready to function as the correct TCM for your vehicle.
