Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships, it is ready for installation right out of the box. No further programming or dealer intervention is required. Simply install the part and you’re ready to go.
Where is the TCM located on my 2007-2010 Pontiac G5?
On the Pontiac G5, the Transmission Control Module is typically located on the driver’s side, mounted to the strut tower in the engine compartment. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before beginning the removal and installation process.
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 have the vehicle scanned for other specific codes (e.g., P07xx) that pinpoint the exact issue. If those codes point to an internal TCM failure, this part is the correct solution.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you place your order, you will be prompted to provide your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the part until we have this information, as the programming is essential for the part to function in your car.
Do I need to return my old TCM?
No. We do not require you to return your old part. There is no core charge associated with this purchase, saving you time and money on return shipping.
