Is Your Grand Prix Shifting Erratically?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a transmission that doesn’t know what it’s doing. Harsh shifts, delayed engagement, or getting stuck in ‘limp mode’ can turn your daily drive into a stressful ordeal. If your 2006-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix is throwing transmission codes and driving unpredictably, a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM) is the most likely culprit. This isn’t just an annoyance—it’s a critical failure that impacts your car’s performance, fuel economy, and safety. Don’t let a faulty module dictate your driving experience. Take control back with a reliable, pre-programmed solution.

Expert Insight: The Power of VIN Programming
In the past, replacing a TCM was a two-step process: buy the part, then pay a dealership hundreds of dollars to program it to your car. Without programming, the module is just a paperweight. We eliminate that costly and inconvenient second step. By programming the module to your VIN before it ships, we ensure it communicates perfectly with your car’s engine computer and other systems from the moment you plug it in. This is the smartest, most efficient way to get your Grand Prix back on the road.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this module after I receive it?
No. This is the primary benefit of our service. We pre-program the module using your vehicle’s VIN number before shipping. It will arrive ready for a plug-and-play installation, requiring no further programming or dealership visits.
Where is the TCM located on my 2006-2008 Grand Prix?
On the 2006-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix, the Transmission Control Module is typically located inside the lower air cleaner housing in the engine bay. The installation is straightforward and generally takes less than 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating that the TCM has detected a problem within the transmission system. While this module often resolves the root cause, it’s essential to diagnose any other specific codes that accompany P0700. In many cases, replacing a faulty TCM will clear this and related codes.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
This 2006-2008 Grand Prix Transmission Control Module is a direct-fit replacement. It is also interchangeable with numerous GM part numbers, including 24252114, 24234503, and 24235340. It fits a wide range of GM vehicles using the 4-speed automatic transmission. Please verify fitment using our vehicle selector tool.
What happens if I continue driving with a bad TCM?
Continuing to drive with a failing TCM can lead to more severe and costly damage. Poor shifting can cause excessive wear on internal transmission components like clutches and bands, potentially leading to a complete transmission failure that requires a full rebuild or replacement.
