Is your Saturn Vue’s transmission acting unpredictably? Harsh shifts, sudden warning lights, and the fear of getting stuck in ‘limp mode’ can turn any drive into a stressful ordeal. Regain control and confidence with our pre-programmed T42 Transmission Control Module (TCM), the definitive solution for restoring your vehicle’s smooth, factory-new performance. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s the key to getting your dependable daily driver back on the road without the excessive cost and hassle of a dealership visit.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, a failing TCM is the most likely culprit. This module is engineered to resolve these problems directly:
- Erratic or Harsh Shifting: Abrupt, jerky gear changes or a noticeable delay when the transmission shifts.
- Getting Stuck in Gear: The vehicle may refuse to shift out of a certain gear (often 2nd or 3rd), a condition known as ‘limp mode’.
- Warning Lights: An illuminated Check Engine Light or specific transmission warning light on your dashboard.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): Common codes like P0700, P0750, or other solenoid-related faults point directly to a TCM issue.
- Poor Performance: A sudden drop in fuel efficiency or a feeling that the vehicle is struggling to accelerate.
Installing our expertly programmed 2007-2010 Saturn Vue TCM 24230461 directly addresses the electronic brain of your transmission, correcting these faults and restoring precise, intelligent shifting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a ‘VIN-programmed’ TCM mean for me?
It means the module arrives at your door fully configured for your specific vehicle. You don’t need to take it to a dealership for expensive programming. Just install it, and it will work seamlessly with your Saturn Vue’s existing systems, a true plug-and-play solution.
Is this part difficult to install?
Installation is generally straightforward and can often be completed in under 30 minutes. On the 2007-2010 Saturn Vue, the TCM is typically located in the left-hand (driver’s side) front of the engine compartment. We recommend disconnecting the battery before starting and using a basic scan tool to clear any stored codes after installation.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
Yes. The P0700 code is a general transmission fault code, which means the TCM has detected a problem and has requested the check engine light to be turned on. A failing TCM is one of the most common causes for this code, and replacing it with our 2007-2010 Saturn Vue TCM 24230461 is the correct procedure to resolve it.
