Frequently Asked Questions
What does a VIN-programmed TCM do?
Programming the TCM to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) ensures it has the correct software and calibrations for your specific engine, transmission, and options. This allows it to work seamlessly with your vehicle’s other computers, providing optimal shift performance and fuel economy without any additional setup.
Is this difficult to install myself?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a straightforward installation. On the 2006-2007 Rendezvous, the TCM is located in the air cleaner box. You simply disconnect the battery, remove the air cleaner assembly, unplug the old module, and install the new one. The entire process typically takes less than 30 minutes.
Will this fix a P0700 code on my Rendezvous?
A P0700 code is a general transmission fault request from the TCM to the main engine computer (ECM) to turn on the check engine light. While P0700 itself doesn’t pinpoint the problem, it is very commonly triggered by an internal TCM failure. Replacing a faulty TCM with our 2006-2007 Buick Rendezvous 24235340 TCM will often resolve the underlying issue causing the P0700 code.
Do I need to send my old TCM back?
