Frequently Asked Questions
What does a VIN-programmed TCM actually do?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific factory software and settings onto the module. This ensures it communicates perfectly with the engine computer and other systems, controlling shift strategies, torque converter function, and pressure settings exactly as the manufacturer intended. It makes the installation plug-and-play, with no extra steps needed.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For most models, the installation is very simple. The TCM is typically located in an accessible spot in the engine bay. The process involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old module, swapping it with the new one, and reconnecting everything. Most DIY mechanics can complete the job in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
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 will fix the underlying cause of many such codes (like faulty solenoids or internal logic failure), you should always diagnose any other specific codes that accompany the P0700 to ensure a complete repair.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No. We do not require a core return for this part. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your old module at your convenience, which simplifies the process and saves you return shipping costs.
