Restore Flawless Shifting to Your GM Vehicle
Is your Sierra Denali, Silverado, or Camaro suffering from harsh, erratic shifting, getting stuck in gear, or displaying a ‘Service Transmission’ warning? These are classic signs of a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM). A faulty TCM can cripple your vehicle’s performance and leave you stranded. Don’t let a complex electronic issue sideline your truck or performance car. This is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore the crisp, reliable shifting you depend on every day.
Common Symptoms of a Failing TCM & Your Solution
A failing TCM can manifest in several ways, often triggering Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and severely impacting drivability. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your answer:
- Harsh or delayed gear engagement
- Unpredictable upshifts or downshifts
- The vehicle entering ‘Limp Mode’ with reduced power
- “Service Transmission” message on your dashboard
- DTCs such as U0101 (Lost Communication with TCM)
Our Programmed 24289415 TCM arrives ready for a direct, plug-and-play installation. We take your vehicle’s unique VIN and flash the module with the very latest, most stable software directly from GM. This critical step ensures perfect communication between the TCM, the engine, and other vehicle systems, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
In modern GM vehicles, the TCM is not just a simple controller; it’s a networked computer integrated into the vehicle’s core CAN bus system. It must be perfectly matched to your truck’s specific options, engine, and emissions equipment. Installing a non-programmed or incorrectly programmed module can cause more problems than it solves, from persistent error codes to a no-start condition. Our VIN-specific programming service is not just a convenience—it’s a procedural necessity that guarantees compatibility and restores your vehicle’s factory-level performance and reliability right out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming process work?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this number to access the official GM database and flash the TCM with the exact software and calibrations specific to your vehicle’s make, model, year, and factory options. This ensures it works perfectly upon installation.
Is this a direct, plug-and-play part?
Yes. Because we program the module to your VIN before shipping, it is a true plug-and-play solution. Simply disconnect the battery, replace the old module, and reconnect the battery. No further programming or dealer visits are required.
Will this fix my specific shifting problem?
This Programmed 24289415 TCM is the definitive solution for issues directly caused by a faulty module, such as communication errors (U-codes), erratic shifting, and being stuck in gear. However, it will not fix mechanical issues within the transmission itself, such as worn clutches or a bad valve body. Proper diagnosis is always recommended.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Installation typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set, to access and unbolt the module. On most compatible trucks, the TCM is located on the LH core support, making it relatively accessible. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before beginning work.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
Providing your VIN is a mandatory step for this part. We cannot program or ship the module without it. To avoid delays, please send us your VIN through the order notes or a direct message immediately after purchase.
