Expert Insight: The Power of VIN Programming
Why is VIN-specific programming so important? Your GMC’s transmission performance is fine-tuned based on its engine size, axle ratio, and tire size—all data stored in the VIN. A generic, non-programmed module can’t account for these variables, often leading to continued shifting problems or even new error codes. Our process loads the latest GM software calibrated specifically for your Envoy, ensuring a seamless integration that works correctly the first time, saving you from frustrating return trips to the mechanic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this module to a dealership for programming?
Absolutely not. This module is delivered to you pre-programmed using your vehicle’s VIN. It is a true plug-and-play solution, designed to work immediately upon installation without any additional programming or setup.
What are the most common signs my Envoy’s TCM is failing?
The most common symptoms include harsh or erratic shifting, getting stuck in one gear (limp mode), the check engine light coming on with codes like P0700, and a noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is quite straightforward. The TCM is typically located in the engine compartment (often on the LH side). The process usually takes under 30 minutes. We recommend disconnecting the battery before starting and using a scan tool to clear any stored codes after installation.
Will this part fix a P0700 trouble code?
Yes. The P0700 code is a general transmission fault code, which means the TCM has detected a problem and has requested the check engine light to be turned on. Replacing a faulty TCM is often the correct and necessary step to resolve this and related codes.
Is there a core charge or do I have to send my old part back?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep or dispose of your old module without the hassle of returning it.
