Restore Flawless Shifting to Your GM Truck or Camaro
Are you battling erratic shifting, a persistent check engine light, or a “Service Transmission” message on your dash? A faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM) can turn your powerful GM vehicle into a source of daily frustration. This VIN-programmed TCM, service part number 24289415, is the definitive solution to restore the crisp, reliable performance you depend on. We eliminate the guesswork and costly dealer visits by pre-programming this module specifically for your vehicle using your VIN. It arrives ready for installation, getting you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct-Fit Solution
A failing TCM can manifest in several ways, often making you think the transmission itself is failing. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- Harsh or delayed shifting, especially between 1st and 2nd gear
- The vehicle feeling stuck in one gear (limp mode)
- Inaccurate gear display on the instrument cluster
- Illuminated Check Engine Light with transmission-related codes (e.g., P0700, P0751, U0101)
- “Service Transmission Soon” warning message
This Programmed 24289415 TCM is engineered to resolve these issues by replacing the faulty electronic brain of your transmission with a fully updated and correctly configured unit.

This is the key to a lasting, reliable repair. Getting a professionally Programmed 24289415 TCM is not just a part replacement; it’s a complete system restoration.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our technicians will use this VIN to load the latest, most compatible GM software onto the TCM before it is shipped to you.
Is this a true plug-and-play part?
Yes. Because we handle all the programming, you will not need to take the vehicle to a dealer for software flashing. Once installed, you may need to perform a simple idle or throttle relearn procedure, which can be done without special tools.
Will this fix my specific transmission problem?
This module is the direct solution for failures of the electronic control unit itself. While it solves the vast majority of common shifting and communication issues, it will not fix internal mechanical failures within the transmission. We always recommend having a qualified mechanic diagnose the issue to confirm a faulty TCM is the root cause.
Where is the TCM located on my truck?
On most compatible Sierra and Silverado models, the TCM is located on the driver’s side (LH) core support, near the front of the engine bay. On the Camaro, it is found under the hood on the driver’s side (LH) frame rail.
What information do you need from me?
All we need is your 17-digit VIN to ensure we load the correct software for your vehicle’s specific configuration, including engine, transmission type, and other options.
