Frequently Asked Questions
What is a T42 TCM and what does it do?
The T42 Transmission Control Module (TCM) is the electronic brain of your automatic transmission. It receives data from various sensors on the engine and vehicle, and uses this information to control shift points, line pressure, and torque converter lockup for optimal performance and fuel efficiency.
Is this part really ‘plug-and-play’?
Yes. During checkout, you will provide your vehicle’s VIN. We use that information to program the module with the specific software and calibrations for your exact vehicle. When it arrives, it is ready to be installed without any further programming required.
Will this fix my P0700 transmission code?
A P0700 code is a general fault code indicating the TCM has detected a problem. While this module often resolves the root cause, it’s essential to diagnose any other codes that are present. In many cases where the TCM itself is the failure point, this part will be the solution.
How difficult is the installation?
For most models, installation is straightforward and can be done in under 30 minutes with basic tools. The TCM is typically located in the engine compartment. Always disconnect the battery before starting work. After installation, use a scan tool to clear any stored diagnostic trouble codes.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No. We do not require a core return for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module, making the process simple and hassle-free.
