Frequently Asked Questions
What does a T42 TCM actually do?
The Transmission Control Module, or TCM, is the brain of your automatic transmission. It receives data from various sensors on your engine and vehicle, and uses that information to control shift points, torque converter lockup, and line pressure, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
Is this module difficult to install on my Silverado?
Installation is straightforward for a DIYer with basic tools. On the 2007 Silverado, the TCM is typically located in the engine compartment next to the battery. The process involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, unbolting the old module, and installing the new one. The entire job usually takes less than 30 minutes.
Do I need to take my truck to the dealer after installation?
No. Because this module comes pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN, you completely bypass the need for dealership-level programming. It is a true plug-and-play solution, designed to save you time and money.
How do I know for sure that my TCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, the best way to confirm is by having a professional mechanic scan for specific transmission-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Codes like P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction) often point directly to a failing TCM.
What happens if I don’t replace a failing TCM?
Continuing to drive with a faulty TCM can lead to more severe and costly damage. Poor shifting can cause excessive wear on internal transmission components like clutches and bands, potentially leading to a complete transmission failure that requires a full rebuild or replacement.
