In modern vehicles like your Pontiac G6, the TCM isn’t just a simple controller; it’s deeply integrated with the Engine Control Module (ECM), ABS, and other vehicle systems.

Our VIN-specific programming ensures this 2006-2010 Pontiac G6 transmission control module speaks the exact digital language of your car, guaranteeing seamless integration and optimal transmission performance from the moment you install it.
