Regain Command of Your 4×4 System
Is the dreaded “Service 4WD” light glaring at you from the dash? Are you struggling with a four-wheel drive system that won’t engage, disengage, or seems to have a mind of its own? You’re not just losing capability; you’re losing the confidence and reliability you depend on from your truck. This Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM), compatible with part number 24252878, is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s all-terrain readiness. We take the guesswork and the expensive dealership trip out of the equation by pre-programming the module to your truck’s specific VIN before it ever leaves our facility.

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician, I’ve seen countless 4WD issues caused by improperly matched control modules. On these modern GM trucks, the TCCM is part of a complex vehicle network. It doesn’t just receive a command from the switch; it constantly communicates with other computers to verify vehicle speed, throttle position, and more. A generic, non-programmed module can’t do this correctly. It leads to communication errors, persistent warning lights, and a 4WD system that still won’t work. Our VIN-specific programming for this Programmed 24252878 Transfer Case Control Module ensures it integrates seamlessly, just like the original, for a first-time fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential because it allows us to load the exact software and calibrations your specific truck or SUV requires. This ensures the TCCM communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s other electronic systems for a true plug-and-play installation without any further programming.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For most of the compatible vehicles, the TCCM is located on the driver’s side of the dashboard, making it reasonably accessible for someone with basic mechanical skills. Since our module is pre-programmed, the physical replacement is the only step required. No special computer tools are needed.
Will this fix the “Service 4WD” light on my dash?
In the vast majority of cases where the TCCM is the root cause of the problem, yes. This module is designed to resolve the internal electronic faults that trigger that specific warning message and related diagnostic codes.
How can I be sure my old TCCM is the problem?
Common signs include the inability to switch 4WD modes, a flashing selector light, and specific trouble codes like C0327 (Encoder Circuit Malfunction). While it’s always best to have a proper diagnosis, these symptoms point strongly to a failed TCCM.
