Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Transmission Control Module do?
The TCM acts as the computer for your automatic transmission. It receives data from various sensors on the engine and vehicle, and uses that information to control exactly when and how the transmission shifts gears, ensuring optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and smoothness.
Is this module difficult to install?
For the Pontiac G5, the TCM is typically located on the driver’s side strut tower, making it relatively accessible. With basic hand tools, installation can often be completed in under 30 minutes. Simply disconnect the battery, unplug the old module, install the new one, and reconnect the battery.
Why is VIN programming so important?
VIN programming loads your car’s specific software and calibrations onto the module. Without it, the TCM cannot communicate correctly with the engine computer and other systems, leading to poor performance, error codes, and even a no-start condition. Our pre-programming makes it a true plug-and-play part.
Will this fix my specific error code, like P0700?
A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating the TCM has detected a problem. This module is designed to resolve the internal electronic failures that commonly cause P0700 and related solenoid codes. However, you should always ensure the transmission’s mechanical components and wiring are in good condition.
Do I need to return my old part?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module without any hassle or extra fees.
What other vehicles is this T42 TCM compatible with?
This T42 TCM is compatible with a wide range of 2006-2014 GM vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Malibu; Saturn Ion, Aura, Vue; and Pontiac G6. Please verify the part number or use our vehicle selector to confirm an exact match for your car.
