Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
In a sophisticated vehicle like a Cadillac, the TCM is the brain of the transmission. It’s not a one-size-fits-all component. It must communicate flawlessly with the Engine Control Module (ECM), ABS, and other systems. Without precise VIN-based programming, a replacement module simply won’t work. It won’t know your vehicle’s specific tire size, gear ratios, or security protocols. Our service handles this complex step for you, ensuring the 2006 Cadillac XLR TCM 24233202 integrates seamlessly, just as the original did.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your vehicle.
Is any additional programming required after I install it?
No. This TCM arrives ready to install. The VIN-specific programming we perform covers all necessary calibrations. In some rare cases, a transmission relearn procedure may be beneficial, but no additional dealer tools are required.
Will this fix my specific transmission problem?
This module corrects issues directly caused by a faulty TCM, including the common symptoms listed above. While it is the solution for the vast majority of electronic transmission faults, it cannot fix internal mechanical problems like worn clutches or a bad valve body. Proper diagnosis is always recommended.
Where is the TCM located on my 2006 Cadillac XLR?
On the 2006 Cadillac XLR, the Transmission Control Module is typically located in the right-hand (passenger side) of the engine compartment. For the STS, location can vary, so it’s best to consult a service manual for your specific vehicle.
Is this part compatible with part number 24240285?
Yes. This module is a direct, fully compatible replacement for several part numbers, including 24233202, 24235496, and 24240285, for the specified models and year.
What is the warranty on this part?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. This covers any defects in the module itself, providing you with security and peace of mind for your repair.
