Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this module to a dealer for programming?
Absolutely not. This transmission control module comes fully pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. It is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you time and money.
Where is the TCM located on a 2006-2007 Buick Rendezvous?
