Get Your Truck Shifting Smoothly Again
Is your Sierra, Silverado, or Escalade suffering from harsh shifts, getting stuck in gear, or showing a ‘Service Transmission’ warning? A failing Transmission Control Module (TCM) is often the culprit, causing immense frustration and vehicle downtime. This replacement TCM is the definitive solution, arriving at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We eliminate the guesswork and the expensive trip to the dealership by flashing the module with the latest factory software, ensuring itโs ready for a direct installation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing TCM & Your Direct Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, this module is designed to be your fix. A faulty TCM can trigger a wide range of problems and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P0700, P0751, or U0101 (Lost Communication With TCM). Don’t let a small electronic component sideline your entire vehicle. Our programmed 2015-2016 Sierra 1500 TCM restores the critical communication link between your engine and transmission.

An Expert’s Note on Modern Transmissions
In today’s trucks, the TCM isn’t just a simple controller; it’s the brain of the entire transmission, constantly communicating with the Engine Control Module (ECM), ABS, and other systems over the vehicle’s network. That’s why VIN-specific programming is non-negotiable. Using a generic or incorrectly programmed module can lead to even more issues, from incorrect shift points to complete communication failure. We handle this critical step for you, ensuring every parameter matches your vehicle’s factory specifications for reliable, long-term performance.
By providing us with your VIN at checkout, you ensure that the programmed 2015-2016 Sierra 1500 TCM you receive is a perfect electronic match for your vehicle. This attention to detail is what separates a quick fix from a proper, lasting repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program or ship your module without it.
Is this a true plug-and-play installation?
Because we program the module to your VIN, it is designed to be a direct replacement. Once installed, some vehicles may require a simple ‘relearn’ procedure, which can often be completed by following specific driving cycles. However, the core programming is complete, avoiding the need for specialized dealer tools.
My original part number is 24276411. Will this work?
Yes. This module is a direct, compatible replacement for part numbers 24272004 and 24276411, as well as others within the specified vehicle list. The key is the VIN programming, which ensures it functions correctly regardless of the original part number.
Will this fix my specific shifting problem?
This module is the solution for issues directly caused by a faulty TCM. While it resolves the most common electronic transmission problems, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified technician to rule out mechanical issues within the transmission itself.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. This covers the module against electronic failure for one year from the date of purchase. If the unit fails, we will provide a replacement part.
Will this work for my 2016 Silverado 2500 with the 6-speed?
Yes, absolutely. As you can see in our detailed fitment list, this module is compatible with the 2016 Silverado 2500 with the 6-speed automatic transmission (option code MW7). The VIN programming ensures it has the correct software for your specific powertrain combination.
