Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming process work?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this number to access the official GM software database and flash the module with the correct, most up-to-date calibration file for your specific vehicle configuration before we ship it.
Will I need to perform any additional procedures after installation?
In most cases, the module is ready to go upon installation. However, some GM vehicles may benefit from a transmission adaptive pressure relearn procedure to ensure the smoothest possible shifts. This can often be done with a capable scan tool or will happen naturally over a short period of normal driving.
Where is the TCM located on my vehicle?
The location varies by model. For many sedans like the Allure and LaCrosse, it’s found under the lower air cleaner housing. On trucks and SUVs like the Trailblazer and Envoy, it’s typically in the LH (driver’s side) engine compartment. For cars like the Cobalt and Ion, it’s often behind the LH strut tower. Always consult a service manual for your specific model to confirm the location before beginning work.
How can I be sure the TCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators, the best way to be certain is to have a qualified mechanic perform a full diagnostic scan. Codes related to solenoid performance, pressure control, or loss of communication with the TCM (U-codes) are definitive signs that the module has failed.
Is this part compatible with my vehicle if it’s not a Buick Allure?
Yes. This TCM is compatible with a wide range of 2005 GM vehicles as listed in the fitment guide, including models from Chevrolet, Pontiac, GMC, and Saturn. As long as your vehicle, year, and original part number match the list, this programmed module will be the correct fit.
