Restore Your Pontiac’s Shifting Performance
Experiencing erratic shifting, a check engine light that won’t go away, or a transmission that seems to have a mind of its own in your 2005 Pontiac Pursuit? These are frustrating problems that can make your reliable daily driver feel unpredictable and unsafe. This pre-programmed Transmission Control Module (TCM) is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s crisp, smooth shifting and get you back on the road with complete confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing TCM can cause a host of issues that are often misdiagnosed. If your Pursuit is exhibiting any of the following symptoms, a faulty module is the likely culprit:
- Harsh or delayed gear engagement
- Getting stuck in one gear (limp mode)
- Check Engine Light with transmission codes (like P0700, P0753, P0758, U0101)
- No communication with the transmission module via a scan tool
- Unpredictable shifting patterns
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostic fees and dealership programming, this module offers a direct path to a lasting repair. We use your vehicle’s VIN to flash the unit with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This means the part arrives at your door ready for installation, making this the most efficient way to get your car running right. This programmed 2005 Pontiac Pursuit TCM is engineered to resolve these exact issues, saving you time and money.

An Expert’s Note on GM TCMs
Many drivers don’t realize that the TCM in these GM vehicles is a common failure point, often due to its location and long-term exposure to engine bay heat and vibration. A used module from a salvage yard might seem like a cheap fix, but it will still require costly programming and carries the risk of having the same internal flaws. Our solution provides a fully tested and correctly programmed 2005 Pontiac Pursuit TCM, saving you from that gamble and potential future headaches. It’s the most reliable path to a lasting repair.
By providing us with your VIN during checkout, you ensure that the programmed 2005 Pontiac Pursuit TCM you receive is perfectly matched to your vehicle’s specific configuration, including engine, transmission, and tire size options. This is the key to a successful, plug-and-play repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this module?
No. This module comes pre-programmed to the VIN you provide us. It is ready for installation right out of the box, with no need for an expensive trip to a dealership or specialized shop for programming.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your car.
Is this part difficult to install?
For the 2005 Pontiac Pursuit, the TCM is typically located behind the driver-side strut tower in the engine compartment. Installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the module. However, we always recommend consulting a repair manual or a professional technician if you are unsure.
Will this fix my specific shifting problem?
This TCM is designed to fix issues directly caused by a faulty module, such as those listed in the symptoms section (harsh shifts, error codes, no communication). While it is the most common cause, we cannot guarantee it will fix all transmission problems, as issues can also stem from mechanical parts like solenoids or wiring. A proper diagnosis is always recommended.
What happens if I install it without providing a VIN?
We cannot ship the module without a VIN because the programming is essential for the part to function in your vehicle. An unprogrammed or incorrectly programmed TCM will not communicate with your car’s other systems and will not solve your problem.
Which part numbers does this replace?
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of GM part numbers, including 24223112, 24226863, 24233595, 24234189, 24239427, YBWW, YDFC, YDFD, YDLT, YJHY, YKTB, and YKTF.
