Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If your Pontiac is experiencing any of the following issues, a faulty TCM is the most likely culprit. This module is engineered to resolve these exact problems:
- Harsh or Delayed Shifting: Abrupt gear changes, banging into gear, or significant delays when shifting from Park to Drive or Reverse.
- Stuck in Gear / Limp Mode: The transmission refuses to shift past 2nd or 3rd gear to protect itself from further damage.
- Warning Lights: An illuminated Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light on your dashboard.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): Common codes like P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction), P0750-P0758 (Shift Solenoid Errors), or other transmission-related faults.
- Poor Fuel Economy: Inefficient shifting leads to the engine working harder than necessary, consuming more fuel.
Installing our pre-programmed 2007-2010 Pontiac G5 transmission control module is the most effective way to permanently fix these issues and restore your vehicle’s drivability.
