Restore Your Truck’s 4×4 Capability Instantly
If you’re staring at that frustrating “Service 4WD” light on your 2007-2013 Silverado 1500’s dash, you’re not alone. As a mechanic with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless trucks roll into the shop unable to switch into four-wheel drive, often right when the weather turns bad. The cause is frequently a failed Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue that can leave you stranded. This TCCM, part number 24249095, is the definitive, hassle-free solution.
The biggest hurdle with replacing electronic modules is the need for expensive dealership programming. We eliminate that step entirely. Before this module ships, we flash it with the latest official GM software, perfectly matched to your truck’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means when it arrives at your door, it’s a true plug-and-play part. You get a reliable repair without the dealership’s high labor costs or appointment delays.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2011 Sierra 2500 that came in with an intermittent 4×4 fault. The owner had already tried a cheap used TCCM from a salvage yard, but the problem persisted. The scan tool showed communication errors that didn’t make sense for the symptoms. After checking the wiring, we realized the used module wasn’t fully compatible with his truck’s specific options (RPO codes). We installed one of our VIN-programmed modules, and the system immediately came back to life. It’s a classic case of why matching the software to the VIN is non-negotiable for these complex systems.
Is Your Truck Showing These 4×4 Warning Signs?
A failing TCCM can manifest in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is very likely the solution you need for your 2007-2013 Silverado 1500 TCCM issues.
- ✔ “Service 4WD” or “Service Four Wheel Drive” message is illuminated on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ The 4×4 selector switch lights are inoperative or flashing.
- ✔ Inability to shift the transfer case between 2HI, 4HI, and 4LO.
- ✔ The truck feels stuck in one drive mode, regardless of switch position.
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as C0306, C0327, or U0102 are stored in the system.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Replacing the TCCM is a job most DIYers can handle in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools. Since we’ve handled the programming, you just need to swap the part.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: The TCCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, to the left of the steering column. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed TCCM into place and securely reconnect the electrical connectors. You’ll hear a click as they lock in.
- Final Steps: Re-install any trim panels you removed and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the truck and test your 4×4 system to confirm the repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to provide my VIN?
Yes, this is absolutely critical. We use your VIN to load the exact software and calibrations your specific truck requires for the TCCM to function correctly with the transfer case, selector switch, and other vehicle systems.
Is this part difficult to install?
Not at all. Because the programming is done beforehand, it’s a simple plug-and-play installation. It typically involves removing a dash panel and swapping the module with basic hand tools. No special electronic tools are needed.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed or incorrectly programmed TCCM will not work. You will likely still have the “Service 4WD” light, or the system may not function at all. It must be programmed to the vehicle.
How do I find my VIN?
Your 17-digit VIN can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a placard on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
Is this compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for many part numbers, including 24261367, 12588096, 24239190, 24240487, 24241143, 24241970, 24242480, 24243084, 24243085, 24249095, and 24252878.
