When your 2006-2014 Chevrolet Express 1500 starts shifting erratically or gets stuck in limp mode, your workday comes to a grinding halt. Downtime costs you money and customers. This VIN-programmed T42 Transmission Control Module (TCM) is the definitive, no-nonsense solution to get your workhorse running reliably again. Forget about expensive dealership visits and lengthy programming appointments; this module arrives ready for a straightforward, plug-and-play installation, restoring the smooth, predictable performance you depend on.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If your van is experiencing any of the following issues, a failing TCM is the most likely culprit. This module is engineered to resolve these exact problems:
- Harsh, Erratic, or Delayed Shifting: Clunky gear changes or a noticeable lag when the transmission should be shifting.
- Stuck in Limp Mode: The vehicle refuses to shift out of a single gear (usually 2nd or 3rd) to protect the transmission from further damage.
- Check Engine Light & Transmission Warnings: Active warning lights on your dash, often accompanied by Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0700, P0750, or other solenoid-related codes.
- Complete Loss of Shifting: The transmission will not upshift or downshift at all.
- Poor Fuel Economy & Overheating: Inefficient shifting forces the engine to work harder, leading to decreased MPG and potential transmission overheating.
Installing this pre-programmed Express 1500 transmission control module is the direct path to fixing these frustrating and costly issues, ensuring your van operates as it should.
