Restore Command of Your H3’s Transmission
Is your Hummer H3 suffering from frustrating and unpredictable shifting? A faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM) can sideline even the most capable vehicle, causing harsh gear changes, getting stuck in limp mode, or triggering a persistent check engine light.

Common H3 Transmission Problems & Your Solution
When the TCM begins to fail, your H3 will let you know. You might be experiencing one or more of these common symptoms:
- Abrupt, jerky, or delayed shifting between gears.
- The vehicle refuses to shift, often getting stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear (limp mode).
- An illuminated Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0750, or other solenoid-related faults.

An Expert’s Note on Transmission Diagnostics
Many drivers mistake severe TCM failure for a catastrophic mechanical problem inside the transmission itself. Symptoms like slipping or refusal to shift can lead to quotes for thousands of dollars in transmission work. However, in many GM vehicles of this era, the root cause is purely electronic. Installing a new, properly programmed 2008-2010 Hummer H3 Transmission Control Module is often the complete fix, saving you from a massive and unnecessary repair bill. Always check the electronics first.
Don’t let a faulty computer dictate your vehicle’s performance. This part is also a direct replacement for a wide range of service numbers, including 24242391, 24252114, 24234503, and more, ensuring broad compatibility. By choosing this pre-programmed 2008-2010 Hummer H3 Transmission Control Module, you’re not just buying a part—you’re investing in a reliable, long-term solution that restores the rugged capability of your vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this module programmed by a dealer?
No. The most significant benefit of this module is that we program it to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping. This means it is ready for installation right out of the box, requiring no additional or expensive programming from a dealership or mechanic.
Where is the TCM located on a 2008-2010 Hummer H3?
On the Hummer H3 models from 2008 to 2010, the Transmission Control Module is typically located in the engine compartment, on the right-hand (passenger) side, near the rear of the engine bay.
Is installation difficult for a DIYer?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is very straightforward and can usually be completed in under 30 minutes. It involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in reverse order.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general transmission fault code, meaning the TCM has detected a problem and has requested the check engine light be turned on. While this module can resolve the underlying issue causing the P0700, it’s important to have the vehicle scanned for other specific transmission codes (e.g., P0750 series) to confirm the TCM is the likely culprit.
What happens if I don’t replace a failing TCM?
Continuing to drive with a faulty TCM can lead to progressively worse shifting, poor fuel economy, and potentially cause excessive wear and tear on the mechanical components of your transmission due to improper operation, which can lead to a much more expensive repair down the line.
