Expert Technician’s Insight
“For these GM 4-speed automatics like the 4L60E and 4L70E, the VIN programming isn’t just a convenience—it’s critical. The TCM needs to know the exact specifications of your Express van, from axle ratio to tire size, to calculate shift points correctly. Installing a non-programmed module is a recipe for continued shifting problems and potential transmission damage. This pre-programmed solution ensures all systems are calibrated from the moment you plug it in, which is vital for the longevity and performance of your vehicle’s transmission.”
Don’t let a faulty module sideline your operations. By choosing the right part, you ensure your vehicle performs as it should, day in and day out. This 2006-2014 Express 1500 TCM is the smart, efficient fix to restore your van’s reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this TCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready for a plug-and-play installation. This saves you the time, cost, and hassle of a dealership visit.
Where is the TCM located on a Chevy Express van?
On most 2006-2014 Express and Savana vans, the Transmission Control Module is located in the engine compartment on the right-hand (passenger) side. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before attempting removal or installation.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating the TCM has detected a problem. While this module often resolves the root cause, it’s essential to use a scan tool to check for other specific codes (like P0750, P0751, etc.) that pinpoint the exact issue. This part is a common solution for many of those related codes.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is straightforward. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module. The entire process can usually be completed in under 30 minutes.
What is a core charge?
A core charge is a deposit you pay until you return your old, failed part. We do not have a core charge on this item, which means you can keep your old part without any extra fees or the hassle of shipping it back.
