Expert Insight: The Cost of Downtime
We recently worked with a local electrician whose 2011 Savana 2500 was stuck in limp mode. Every day the van sat idle was a day of lost jobs and revenue. The dealership quoted him over a thousand dollars and a week-long wait for a new, programmed TCM. He ordered our Programmed 24234503 TCM for Savana 2500 instead. It arrived the next day, he installed it in under 30 minutes in his own garage, and his van was back on the road for the next job. For a business owner, that’s not just a repair—it’s a lifeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this TCM programmed by a dealer?
No. This is the primary benefit of our service. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s exact VIN before shipping. It will arrive ready for a plug-and-play installation, with no further programming needed.
Where is the TCM located on my Savana 2500?
On the 2006-2014 GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express vans, the Transmission Control Module is typically located in the engine compartment on the right-hand (passenger) side.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, this is a very straightforward installation. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolting it, and then reversing the process with the new one. The entire job can often be completed in under 30 minutes.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general transmission fault code, indicating that the TCM has detected a problem. While this module can resolve the root cause, it’s essential to diagnose the specific codes stored within the TCM (like solenoid or sensor codes) to confirm it’s the source of the issue. A failing TCM is a very common cause for this code.
What happens if I don’t replace a failing TCM?
Continuing to drive with a faulty TCM can lead to more severe and expensive transmission damage. Poor shifting can cause excessive wear on clutches and other internal components, potentially leading to a complete transmission failure that requires a full rebuild or replacement.
Does this part require a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module without the hassle of needing to return it.
