Expert Insight: The Brains Behind the Brawn
As a technician, I’ve seen countless drivers spend a fortune on transmission rebuilds when the actual problem was electronic. The TCM is the transmission’s brain. When it fails, it sends incorrect signals, making a perfectly healthy transmission act erratically. For vehicles like the 2005 Pursuit, a faulty TCM is a very common issue. By replacing it with a properly flashed unit like this one, you’re not just swapping a part; you’re restoring the critical communication link that ensures your car performs reliably for years to come. This is the most common-sense, effective repair for these symptoms.
Don’t let a faulty module keep your reliable daily driver off the road. Ordering this Programmed 2005 Pontiac Pursuit TCM is the first step toward a smooth-running vehicle and peace of mind. After you complete your purchase, simply provide us with your VIN, and we’ll handle the rest, shipping you a part that’s ready to restore your car’s performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed?
No. This is the core of our service. We program the TCM to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it to you. It arrives ready for installation, saving you a trip to the dealership.
Where is the TCM located on my 2005 Pontiac Pursuit?
On the 2005 Pontiac Pursuit (and the similar Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion), the TCM is typically located in the engine bay, behind the driver’s side (LH) strut tower.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. This is essential for us to flash the module with the correct software for your car’s specific configuration.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills and tools, the installation is generally straightforward. It involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module to replace it with the new one. A standard transmission relearn procedure may be necessary after installation.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
Often, yes. The P0700 code is a general fault code, meaning the TCM has detected a problem and has requested the check engine light be turned on. Replacing a faulty TCM will very often resolve the root cause of the P0700 code and other related transmission codes.
What if I have an issue after installation?
We are here to help. Please contact us immediately if you encounter any issues. This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty for your peace of mind.
