Frequently Asked Questions
What does a VIN-programmed TCM actually do?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and calibration files onto the module before it ships. This ensures the TCM communicates perfectly with your Rendezvous’s engine computer and other systems, just like the original part from the factory, allowing for a true plug-and-play installation.
Is this a difficult part to install?
No, this is a very straightforward repair for most DIYers. On a 2006-2007 Buick Rendezvous, the TCM is typically located inside the air cleaner box. You simply disconnect the battery, remove the air cleaner assembly, unplug the old module, and install the new one. No special tools are required.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general transmission fault request, meaning the TCM has detected a problem and asked the main engine computer to turn on the check engine light. While this module often resolves the underlying issue causing the P0700, it’s crucial to scan for other specific transmission codes (like P0750, P0753, etc.) to confirm the diagnosis.
Do I need to send my old TCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module without any hassle or additional fees.
How do I know this is the correct part for my Rendezvous?
This T42 TCM is the correct fit for the 2006-2007 Buick Rendezvous. You can also verify by matching the service number on your original module to one of the compatible part numbers listed, such as 24239224, 24252114, or 24234503.
