Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this part to a dealer for programming?
Absolutely not. This is the primary benefit of our product. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it to you, making it ready for installation right out of the box. This saves you a trip to the dealership and their associated programming fees.

For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is straightforward. The TCM is typically located in the engine compartment and can often be replaced in under 30 minutes. Always remember to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting the repair.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general fault code, meaning the TCM has detected a problem within the transmission system. A failing TCM is a very common cause of this code. While not a guarantee for every scenario, replacing a faulty module with our pre-programmed unit is a highly effective solution for resolving a P0700 and related codes.

Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You are not required to send your old, faulty module back to us, which simplifies the repair process for you.
