An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming: Why is programming so critical? Your vehicle’s TCM doesn’t just manage shifting; it considers dozens of parameters unique to your car, like gear ratios, tire size, and specific engine characteristics. A generic, unprogrammed module can’t account for these variables, leading to poor performance or even damage. Our process of programming this programmed 24233595 TCM to your specific VIN ensures it operates exactly as the factory intended, delivering reliability you can trust from the moment you install it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is essential for programming the module correctly for your specific vehicle.
Is any additional programming required after I install it?
No. This module is a complete, plug-and-play solution. Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, you will not need any special tools or a visit to the dealership for further programming. A standard transmission relearn procedure may be recommended after installation.
How can I be sure my TCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, the best way to be certain is to have a professional mechanic diagnose the vehicle and check for specific TCM-related trouble codes. Common codes include P0700-series codes and communication codes like U0100.
