Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Transmission Control Module (TCM) do?
The TCM acts as the brain for your automatic transmission. It uses data from various sensors on the engine and transmission to control shift timing, gear selection, and torque converter operation to ensure smooth and efficient performance.
Is this module difficult to install?
For most DIYers with basic tools, installation is straightforward. On the 2006 Pontiac Pursuit, the TCM is typically located on the LH strut tower. The process usually involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, unbolting the old module, and installing the new one. The entire job often takes less than 30 minutes.
What does “VIN Programmed” mean for me?
It means your new TCM arrives ready to install right out of the box. We program it using your vehicle’s unique 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), so it’s perfectly matched to your car’s specific options and software. This allows you to skip a mandatory and expensive programming session at a dealership.
Will this fix my specific transmission error codes like P0700?
Yes, this module is designed to resolve issues that cause common transmission-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), including P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction) and various solenoid codes. A faulty TCM is the most common cause of these errors.
Do I need to return my old TCM (core)?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, which saves you the time, cost, and hassle of shipping it back.
How do I know for sure that the TCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators of a bad TCM, it’s always best to have the vehicle properly diagnosed. However, if you are experiencing erratic shifting combined with transmission-specific error codes, a failing TCM is the most likely culprit.
