Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
Many sellers offer non-programmed or ‘blank’ modules, which seems like a good deal until you realize the hidden costs.

Our process eliminates this step entirely. By programming the 2006-2010 Pontiac G6 transmission control module to your VIN, we ensure it has the correct software and calibrations for your specific vehicle configuration, resolving common electronic conflicts and providing a seamless, effective repair from the moment you install it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle the programming for you. This module is programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships, making it ready for installation right out of the box. This saves you time and the significant expense of dealership programming.
Where is the TCM located on my Pontiac G6?
On the 2006-2010 Pontiac G6, the Transmission Control Module is typically located on the driver’s side, attached to the strut tower in the engine compartment. Always disconnect the battery before beginning the replacement.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general transmission fault code, indicating that the TCM has detected a problem and has requested the check engine light be turned on. While this module often resolves the root cause of a P0700, it’s essential to have the vehicle scanned for other transmission-specific codes (like P0750-P0758) to confirm the TCM is the issue.
Is this installation difficult for a DIY mechanic?
The physical replacement is generally straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module. The entire process can often be completed in under 30 minutes, making it a very manageable DIY repair.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
