Expert Tip: Many transmission issues are incorrectly diagnosed as internal mechanical failures when the real culprit is a faulty TCM. Our VIN programming service not only matches the module to your vehicle but also loads the latest GM software updates. This often resolves shifting irregularities that even a new, unprogrammed module from the dealer wouldn’t fix without a separate, costly programming session. This step is crucial for restoring optimal fuel efficiency and transmission longevity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this part to a dealership for programming?
Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that this Programmed 24230461 Transmission Control Module arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. It is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you time and the significant expense of dealership programming.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you place your order, you can provide your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during the checkout process or by contacting our customer support team with your order number. This ensures we can program the module specifically for your vehicle’s configuration.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For most DIY mechanics, the installation is straightforward and can typically be completed in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools. The module’s location varies by model (e.g., next to the battery, on the strut tower, or in the engine compartment), but it is generally accessible. We recommend disconnecting the battery before starting the installation.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general transmission fault code, indicating that the TCM has detected a problem and has requested the check engine light be turned on. While a faulty TCM is a very common cause, this code can also be triggered by other issues. Replacing a known-bad TCM is often the correct fix for a P0700 and its related specific codes (like P0750, etc.).
What is the difference between a TCM and a PCM?
The TCM (Transmission Control Module) specifically controls the automatic transmission’s functions, like shifting. The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is a more integrated controller that manages both the engine and transmission functions in a single unit. The vehicles this part fits use a separate TCM.
Is there a core charge for my old module?
No, there is no core charge. You are not required to send your old part back to us, which simplifies the repair process for you.
