Restore Flawless Shifting to Your Saturn VUE
Is your 2007-2010 Saturn VUE suffering from harsh, erratic shifting, getting stuck in gear, or displaying a persistent check engine light? These are classic signs of a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM). A faulty TCM can turn your reliable daily driver into a source of constant stress and concern. This pre-programmed T42 Transmission Control Module is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and your peace of mind.

If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following issues, a failing TCM is the most likely culprit. This module is engineered to be the direct solution for these problems:
- Abrupt, harsh, or delayed gear shifts
- Vehicle stuck in “limp mode” (usually 2nd or 3rd gear)
- Illuminated Check Engine or Transmission warning lights
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0750, or other solenoid-related faults
- Failure to upshift or downshift correctly
- Poor fuel economy and potential transmission overheating

Expert Insight: The Power of Pre-Programming
Many online sellers ship a ‘blank’ module, forcing you to tow your vehicle to a dealership for expensive and time-consuming programming. That’s a hidden cost and a major inconvenience. We handle the complex part for you. Using the latest GM software, we flash the module with your vehicle’s exact VIN data. This means the TCM is not just a replacement part; it’s your vehicle’s specific part, ready to communicate flawlessly with the engine and other systems the moment you install it. This is the key to a successful, stress-free repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this to a dealer for programming?
Absolutely not. This is the primary benefit of our service. The Saturn VUE transmission control module will arrive at your door fully programmed to the VIN you provide during checkout. It is ready for immediate installation right out of the box.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For most 2007-2010 Saturn VUE models, the TCM is located in the engine compartment (typically on the LH front side) and is relatively easy to access. Installation usually takes less than 30 minutes with basic hand tools. Simply disconnect the battery, unplug the old module, install the new one, and reconnect the battery.
How do I know for sure that my TCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, the best way to be certain is to have a professional mechanic scan your vehicle for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Codes like P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction) or specific solenoid codes strongly point to a faulty TCM.
Will this fit other GM vehicles besides the Saturn VUE?
Yes. This T42 TCM is compatible with a wide range of General Motors vehicles, including many Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Pontiac, and Cadillac models that use a 4-speed automatic transmission like the 4L60E or 4L65E. Please verify the part number (24238856 or an interchangeable number) to ensure a perfect match for your specific vehicle.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You are not required to send your old, faulty module back to us, saving you the hassle and cost of return shipping.
