Are you tired of dealing with erratic shifting, a flashing check engine light, or your Trailblazer getting stuck in gear? A faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM) can turn a dependable SUV into a source of constant stress. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that compromises your vehicle’s performance and your confidence on the road. We offer the definitive solution: a professionally programmed 2005 Trailblazer EXT TCM that arrives at your door ready for a straightforward, plug-and-play installation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing TCM & Your Direct Solution
If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following issues, a failing TCM is the most likely culprit. This module is the solution for correcting problems such as:
- Harsh or delayed shifting between gears
- The transmission getting stuck in one gear (often called “limp mode”)
- A persistent Check Engine Light with transmission-related codes (e.g., P0700, P0741, P0751, P0756)
- No communication between the scan tool and the TCM
- Inaccurate or erratic speedometer readings
- Sudden downshifts or upshifts while driving
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostics and programming fees at a dealership, you can install this fully prepared module yourself.

An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
“Many people think they can grab a used TCM from a salvage yard and simply plug it in. Unfortunately, that won’t work. Modern vehicle modules are ‘married’ to the original vehicle’s VIN and option content. Installing a mismatched module will, at best, result in a no-start condition or severe shifting problems. Our service bridges that gap. By programming the module to your VIN before it even leaves our facility, we are providing a dealership-level service at a fraction of the cost, saving you hundreds of dollars and a massive headache.”
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 (Vehicle Identification Number). Our technicians will then use this VIN to load the correct, updated GM software onto the module before we ship it to you.
Is this really a plug-and-play installation?
Yes. Because we handle all the programming, you will not need any special tools or a trip to the dealership to make it work. Once installed, the module will communicate correctly with your vehicle’s other computers. In some rare cases, a simple idle relearn or throttle body relearn procedure may be beneficial, which can be done without special tools.
How do I know this will fix my transmission problem?
This module is the direct solution for issues caused by a faulty TCM. If your vehicle has been properly diagnosed and the TCM is identified as the point of failure, our programmed 2005 Trailblazer EXT TCM will resolve the problem. We recommend confirming the diagnosis with a qualified mechanic or by checking for common TCM-related diagnostic trouble codes.
Do I need to send my old part (core) back?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep or responsibly dispose of your old module.
Where can I find my VIN?
Your VIN can be found on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
