Restore Full Control Over Your 4×4 System
Is the dreaded “Service 4WD” light glaring at you from the dash of your Yukon XL 2500? Are you unable to switch between 2WD and 4WD, or worse, stuck in one mode? You’ve come to the right place. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless GM trucks and SUVs sidelined by a faulty Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue that can leave you stranded in bad weather or on a tough trail. This module, part number 24252878, is the brain of your four-wheel-drive system, and when it fails, your truck’s capabilities are severely compromised.
The biggest headache with replacing a TCCM has always been the mandatory, and often expensive, trip to the dealership for programming. We eliminate that step completely. When you purchase from us, we flash the module with the latest GM software, specifically calibrated to your vehicle’s VIN. This means it arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation. You get a reliable fix without the dealership’s high costs and long wait times.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Stuck Suburban
A customer brought in a 2011 Suburban 2500, a sister vehicle to the Yukon XL, with a frantic complaint: it was stuck in 4-Low and wouldn’t shift out. Driving on dry pavement was nearly impossible, with the drivetrain binding up on every turn. The 4WD selector switch lights were blinking, and the dash was lit up. A quick scan showed a U0102 code—Lost Communication with Transfer Case Control Module. After verifying power and ground at the TCCM connector, it was clear the module itself had failed internally. A replacement from the dealer would have meant leaving the vehicle for a day plus a hefty programming fee. Instead, we used one of our pre-programmed modules. The entire swap took less than 15 minutes, and the 4WD system immediately returned to normal operation. This is the exact, hassle-free solution we offer you.
Is Your Truck Exhibiting These 4WD Problems?
A failing TCCM can cause a range of frustrating symptoms. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution for your 2008-2013 Yukon XL 2500 TCCM issues:
- ✔ “Service 4WD” or “Service Four Wheel Drive” message on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Inability to shift the transfer case into or out of 4WD High, 4WD Low, or 2WD.
- ✔ Indicator lights on the 4×4 selector switch are blinking or completely dark.
- ✔ The vehicle feels like it’s stuck in 4WD, causing binding on sharp turns.
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in the system, such as C0327, C0374, C0569, or U0102.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
You don’t need to be a master mechanic to install this part. With basic hand tools, you can have your 4×4 system working again in under 30 minutes. This guide is specifically for the 2008-2013 Yukon XL 2500 TCCM and similar GM models.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Module: The TCCM is typically located on the driver’s side of the dashboard, up and to the left of the brake pedal, often attached to a metal bracket. 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. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the old TCCM from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed TCCM in the same location as the old one. Securely plug in the electrical connectors until you hear them click into place.
- Final Steps: Reinstall any dash panels you removed. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test the 4WD selector switch to confirm proper operation. The “Service 4WD” light should be off.

Will this fix the “Service 4WD” light?
In the vast majority of cases, a faulty TCCM is the direct cause of the “Service 4WD” light and the associated symptoms. If your vehicle’s issues match the ones we’ve listed, this module is the definitive fix.
Where is the TCCM located on my 2010 Yukon XL?
On the 2008-2013 Yukon XL 2500, the TCCM is mounted to a bracket high up in the driver’s side footwell, to the left of the steering column and above the emergency brake pedal area. Access is typically gained by removing the lower knee bolster panel.
Is any additional programming or dealer visit required after installation?
No. That’s the primary benefit of our service. The module arrives fully programmed and ready for installation. You do not need any special scan tools or a trip to the dealership. Just swap the part, and you’re done.
What happens if I install it and it doesn’t work?
We stand by our products. First, double-check that all connectors are fully seated. If the issue persists, it could indicate a problem elsewhere in the 4×4 system (like the encoder motor or selector switch).
