Is Your Sierra 2500’s Transmission Acting Up?
There’s nothing more frustrating than when your workhorse truck starts having transmission trouble. You rely on your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500 to perform, but lately, it’s been plagued by harsh, unpredictable shifting, a delay when you put it in gear, or even getting stuck in limp mode. Before you start pricing out a costly transmission rebuild, the real culprit is often the electronic brain that controls it: the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen this exact scenario play out countless times. A customer’s 2007 Sierra 2500 came in last week with a check engine light and what they described as ‘violent’ shifting between 1st and 2nd gear. They were convinced the transmission was shot. After a quick scan, we found a P0752 code (Shift Solenoid A Stuck On). Instead of tearing into the transmission, we checked the TCM. Sure enough, the module’s internal circuitry had failed, causing the erratic solenoid command. A new, programmed TCM had them back on the road in under an hour, saving them thousands.
Symptoms of a Failing GM T42 TCM
If your truck is experiencing any of the following, a faulty TCM is the most likely cause:
- โ Harsh, banging, or erratic gear shifts.
- โ The vehicle is stuck in a single gear (limp mode), often 2nd or 3rd.
- โ Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light is illuminated.
- โ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0700, P0750, or other solenoid-related faults are present.
- โ Delayed engagement when shifting from Park to Drive or Reverse.
- โ Poor fuel economy and a feeling of lost power.

- Swap the Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. Unbolt it from its bracket and set it aside. Bolt the new module in its place and securely reconnect the wiring harnesses.
- Reconnect and Clear: Reconnect the battery terminal. While the battery disconnect often clears codes, it’s best to use a basic OBD2 scan tool to clear any stored transmission fault codes.
