Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this module after I receive it?
No. This module is fully pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping. It is ready for a plug-and-play installation right out of the box, with no need for a trip to the dealer or a specialized scan tool for programming.
Where is the TCM located on a 2006-2007 Monte Carlo?
On the 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, the Transmission Control Module is typically located inside or on the lower portion of the air cleaner housing in the engine compartment.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general code indicating that the TCM has detected a fault. While this module will resolve the issue if the TCM itself is the source of the problem, it’s always recommended to have the specific transmission codes read to confirm the diagnosis.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is straightforward and typically takes less than 30 minutes. It involves disconnecting the battery, locating the old module, unplugging the electrical connectors, swapping the part, and reconnecting everything. We recommend using a scan tool to clear any stored codes after installation.
What happens if I don’t replace a failing TCM?
Ignoring a failing TCM can lead to progressively worse shifting, poor fuel economy, and eventually, it can cause severe internal damage to your transmission due to improper line pressure and shifting, resulting in a much more expensive repair.
Is there a core charge for this part?
