Frequently Asked Questions
What does ‘VIN Programmed’ mean for me?
It means the module is delivered ready for installation right out of the box. We use your vehicle’s VIN to load the latest GM software specific to your car’s configuration. This ensures perfect compatibility and function without requiring any expensive programming at a dealership, making it a true plug-and-play repair.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIYers with basic tools, the installation is straightforward. The TCM is typically located in the engine bay and is accessible. The process involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, unbolting the old module, and installing the new one. Most installations take under an hour.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general transmission fault request from the TCM to the main engine computer. While this module often resolves the underlying issue causing the P0700 code (like a solenoid circuit fault), you should always diagnose any other specific codes that are present. In many cases, replacing a faulty TCM is the correct fix.
Do I need to return my old module?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module at your convenience, simplifying the repair process for you.
What kind of warranty is included?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence and peace of mind in your purchase.

Yes, absolutely. While this is a popular 2006-2010 Malibu transmission control module 24240400, the T42 TCM fits a very wide range of GM vehicles from that era, including trucks like the Silverado and Sierra, SUVs like the Tahoe and Yukon, and many other cars.
