Heat cycles and electronic wear can cause internal circuits to fail, leading to the exact symptoms you’re experiencing. Many drivers mistakenly fear they need a full transmission replacement, a repair costing thousands. However, in a vast number of cases, the problem is purely electronic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this module require programming at a dealership?
Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships. This makes the installation a simple plug-and-play process, saving you time and the high cost of dealership programming.
Where is the TCM located on a Chevy Uplander?
On the 2006-2009 Chevrolet Uplander, the transmission control module is typically located on the LH (driver’s side) strut tower in the engine compartment. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before beginning the replacement.
How do I know for sure if my TCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators, a proper diagnosis with a professional scan tool is the best way to confirm. Common TCM failure codes include P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction) and various solenoid circuit codes (e.g., P0751, P0756). If you have these codes and shifting issues, the TCM is the most likely culprit.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is straightforward and typically takes less than 30 minutes. It involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in reverse order. No specialized tools are required.
What happens if I don’t replace a failing TCM?
Continuing to drive with a faulty TCM can lead to more significant problems. It can cause poor fuel economy, place excessive strain on the mechanical parts of your transmission, and leave you stranded if the vehicle gets permanently stuck in limp mode. Addressing the issue promptly with this 2006-2009 Uplander Transmission Control Module 24235753 is crucial for the long-term health of your vehicle.
