Frequently Asked Questions
What does “VIN Programmed” actually mean?
It means we load your vehicle’s unique 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the latest GM-certified software directly onto the module before we ship it. This makes the module a perfect electronic match for your specific vehicle, allowing for a simple plug-and-play installation without any need for additional dealer tools or programming.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is straightforward. The TCM is located in the engine bay and is typically held in place by a few bolts and has electrical connectors. The most important steps are to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before you begin and to clear any stored trouble codes with a scan tool after installation is complete.
Will this fix my specific check engine light code?
This module is the definitive solution for a wide range of transmission-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), including common ones like P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction) and various solenoid codes (e.g., P0750-P0758). If your diagnosis points to a faulty TCM, this part is designed to resolve those codes.
Do I need to return my old TCM?
No, there is absolutely no core charge or need to return your old part. You can keep it, recycle it, or dispose of it at your convenience, making the process hassle-free.
Is this compatible with other GM vehicles?
Yes, while this listing is focused on the Saturn Vue, the GM T42 TCM is used across a vast range of GM cars, trucks, and SUVs from 2006-2014, including models like the Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Impala, GMC Sierra, and Buick LaCrosse. We program it specifically for the vehicle you order it for.
