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.

The role of the control unit in the engine
A modern engine control unit also monitors exhaust emissions and signals faults with a warning light. A module failure usually prevents the engine from running normally or puts it into limp mode. After replacement, the module usually has to be matched to the car, and in some cars it also needs coding or adaptation.
Fitment
We have several control units for this model in our range, with different numbers. It is the number on the label that counts, not the model name alone. The numbers given come from our listing; always compare them with the markings on your control unit.
How to recognise a faulty control unit
- the engine warning light is on straight after the ignition is switched on,
- the diagnostic tester cannot connect to the control unit,
- engine speed is displayed incorrectly,
- the system works intermittently.
Check whether the car has been flooded and whether there are any signs of moisture around the module in the engine bay.
Locked control unit
The control unit contains the previous car's data and immobiliser coding, and you carry out the unlocking and matching yourself or have them done by a garage. We offer this control unit in the locked variant only - an unlocked variant cannot be selected in this listing; if you would like us to prepare it, ask us before buying. The unlocking options depend on the number, software and immobiliser - not every method (PIN / CAR PASS, Virgin, IMMO OFF, auto-programming, cloning) works on every control unit. Before buying, send us the number of your control unit. More details: what locked and unlocked mean for an engine control unit.
