Expert Insight: The Power of VIN Programming
Why is VIN programming so critical? Your truck’s TCM is not a one-size-fits-all component. It communicates with dozens of other sensors and modules, and the software must be perfectly matched to your vehicle’s specific configuration—including engine size, axle ratio, and tire size. Our process ensures the module you receive has the latest GM software updates loaded and is calibrated specifically for your Colorado. This prevents compatibility issues and guarantees optimal transmission performance and fuel efficiency from the moment you install it. It’s the key to a successful, lasting repair.
By replacing your failing unit with this high-quality 2008-2012 Colorado transmission control module, you are not just fixing a part; you are restoring the core dependability of your vehicle. This module is also a direct replacement for a wide range of GM part numbers, including 24252114, 24234503, and 24235754.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this module programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that this module comes pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. It is ready for installation upon arrival, saving you time and the high cost of dealership programming.
Where is the TCM located on a 2008-2012 Chevy Colorado?
On the 2008-2012 Chevrolet Colorado and its GMC Canyon counterpart, the transmission control module is typically located in the right-hand rear of the engine compartment.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general transmission fault code, indicating that the TCM has detected a problem.
