Is Your SUV’s Transmission Giving You Headaches?
Are you experiencing harsh, erratic shifting, a check engine light that won’t go away, or the unnerving feeling of your 2005 GMC Envoy getting stuck in gear? A faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM) is often the culprit, turning your dependable vehicle into a source of constant worry. This pre-programmed TCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your transmission’s performance and your confidence on the road.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing TCM can manifest in several ways, often triggering Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0700, P0741, P0753, or P0758. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s time for a replacement:
- Abrupt or delayed gear changes

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to function correctly.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical skill, the installation is straightforward. The TCM is typically located in the engine compartment (check your service manual for the exact location on your model). It involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the module. Since our 2005 Envoy TCM comes pre-programmed, no further steps are needed after installation.
Will this fix my specific transmission problem?
This module is the solution for issues directly related to a faulty TCM, such as the symptoms and codes listed above. While it solves the vast majority of electronic transmission problems, it will not fix internal mechanical failures like a worn clutch pack or a bad torque converter. A proper diagnosis is always recommended.
What does the Transmission Control Module (TCM) do?
The TCM is the ‘brain’ of your automatic transmission. It receives data from various sensors on the engine and vehicle, and uses this information to control shift points, line pressure, and torque converter lockup. A properly functioning TCM is critical for performance, fuel economy, and smooth operation.
Is any other learning procedure required after installation?
In most cases, no. Because this 2005 Envoy TCM is pre-programmed to your VIN, it is designed to be a plug-and-play solution. However, some vehicles may benefit from a short drive cycle for the transmission to fully adapt to the new module, which it will do automatically.
