A faulty transmission control module (TCM) most often causes limp mode with the gearbox stuck in one gear, harsh jolts when you select D or R, erratic gear changes, flashing PRND letters and a gearbox or engine warning light. However, the same symptoms are often caused by a low gearbox oil level, a weak battery, a poor earth or a faulty sensor. To test a transmission control module, start by checking the battery and reading the fault codes with a diagnostic tool that can talk to the gearbox control unit, then check the power supply, the connector, the oil and the live data. Below we explain the symptoms, the diagnostic steps and what the most common fault codes mean.

How to identify ABS pump 34516888042 for your BMW
The hydraulic block and control unit of this ABS pump form a single module that works with the wheel speed sensors in BMW cars. You will find number 34516888042 on the label, and the full set of numbers is given in the description below. The listing does not state the car model or year, so we do not give them here and match the part by its numbers.
Numbers to compare
The numbers as written on the labels and as a single string, the way catalogues list them:
- 3451 6888042 (catalogue format: 34516888042), BMW number of the ABS pump (hydraulic part),
- 6888043, BMW number in short form, without the group prefix.
Compare the numbers with the original pump in your car, and if any of them differs, write to us before buying.
When an ABS module needs replacing
- valve or pump motor faults are stored in the control unit memory,
- brake fluid leaks from the hydraulic block, which requires immediate action,
- the ABS switches itself off shortly after the engine is started,
- on a slippery surface the wheels lock up noticeably sooner than they used to.
Before buying a module, read the fault codes with a diagnostic tester. A faulty wheel speed sensor or its wiring can cause the same symptoms, and in that case replacing the pump will not help. After replacement the fault codes usually need to be cleared, and if the brake lines have been disconnected, the system must be bled.
Questions and answers
| What is the difference between numbers 34516888042 and 6888043? |
|---|
| The module carries several numbers, because it is identified both by the car brand and by the manufacturer of the block and control unit. When matching the part, compare all the numbers. |
| Does a lit ABS warning light always mean a faulty pump? |
| No. Read the fault codes first, because the cause may be a wheel sensor, its wiring or too low a supply voltage. |
| Do the brakes need bleeding after replacing the module? |
| If the brake lines are disconnected during fitting, the system must be bled. The fault codes in the control unit usually need to be cleared as well. |
| What condition is this ABS module in? |
| It is an original recycled part in good condition, checked by us. Warranty details are in the product features table. |
