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.

Important: Depending on the ECU type and vehicle model, not all of the options listed below may be available.
To select the correct option for your vehicle and ECU, please contact us before purchasing:
contact@auto24parts.com
1. Locked
This option is intended for professional workshops with the required specialist equipment and technical knowledge.
The ECU has been removed from a vehicle intended for recycling and still contains the immobilizer data and other information from the previous vehicle. Before it can be used in another car, it must be unlocked and then programmed using specialist automotive diagnostic equipment.
2. Unlocked
Several preparation methods may be available. The possible options depend on the ECU type, vehicle model and immobilizer system. Please contact us before purchasing, as some preparation methods are not available for every ECU.
Our electronics specialists can prepare the ECU in one of the following ways:
a) ECU with PIN code (Car Pass)
The PIN code is supplied, but programming with a suitable diagnostic tool is still required. After installing the ECU, it must be reset using the supplied PIN code and then programmed to the vehicle’s immobilizer system.
b) VIRGIN ECU
The data from the previous vehicle is removed and the ECU is restored to a clean, factory-like state. After installation, it must be programmed to the vehicle using a compatible specialist diagnostic tool. Unless another preparation method is specified in the product description, this is the standard unlocking option for most of our ECUs.
c) Plug & Play – IMMO OFF
The immobilizer function is disabled in the ECU. After installation, the engine can start without additional immobilizer programming. Please note that the vehicle will no longer have an active immobilizer function, and an immobilizer warning light or fault code may remain, depending on the vehicle model.
d) Plug & Play – Automatic Programming
After installation, the ECU automatically learns and saves the required vehicle data. No additional programming is normally required.
e) Plug & Play – 1:1 Clone
The data from your original ECU is copied to another fully functional ECU. The cloned unit is then ready for installation without additional programming.
You must send us your original ECU so that we can transfer its data to the replacement unit.
The original ECU must have working communication with the vehicle, a diagnostic tool or our programming equipment. If the required data cannot be read, a complete 1:1 clone may not be possible.
3. Complete Plug & Play Set
A complete matched set containing the ECU, immobilizer components and all other parts required to start the vehicle without additional programming. All components supplied in the set must be installed in the vehicle.
Important:
Dispatch time depends on the selected option. If an unlocked or specially prepared version is ordered, the preparation service usually requires an additional 1–2 business days.

What does number 096927733AB on the transmission control unit mean?
096927733AB is the Volkswagen part number of this transmission control unit, and 5WP2015 is the number in the Siemens VDO / Continental numbering system. The module is used and in working order, available locked or unlocked.
Transmission control unit Volkswagen Siemens 096927733AB 5WP2015
This module does not control the engine but the gearbox – it decides when to change gear based on signals from the sensors and data from other control units. It was made by Siemens, as indicated by number 5WP2015. As our records do not specify a particular Volkswagen model, the choice of control unit 096927733AB is decided by the numbers on the label. A faulty transmission control unit can immobilise a vehicle just as effectively as an engine failure.
Numbers to compare
- 096927733AB – Volkswagen part number
- 5WP2015 – Siemens VDO / Continental number
The letters AB at the end of the VW number denote the software and hardware version. A transmission control unit with a different suffix may have different software, so compare the full number.
Symptoms of a faulty transmission control unit
- the gearbox goes into limp mode and stays in one gear,
- jerky or delayed gear changes,
- no communication with the transmission control unit during diagnostics,
- a gearbox warning light or fault message on the dashboard.
First check the level and condition of the gearbox oil, the power supply and the connectors – these faults produce similar symptoms.
Locked or unlocked version
We offer this transmission control unit in two options. In the locked version, the module has the data of the previous vehicle stored in it and goes to workshops that will unlock, program and match it themselves. The unlocked version is prepared before dispatch – usually within 1–2 working days.
The available preparation method (PIN / CAR PASS, Virgin, IMMO OFF, auto programming, cloning) depends on the number, software and immobiliser, so please ask before buying. Description of the options: control unit preparation options.
