The automatic transmission control unit (often designated as TCU or TCM) is a crucial electronic component responsible for smooth and trouble-free gear shifting. Its failure, most often caused by overheating, short circuits, or water damage, results in jerking, an inability to shift gears, or the vehicle entering limp mode. Purchasing a new module at an authorized dealership is a massive expense, which is why replacing it with a fully functional, used original is the most reasonable solution.

- the trailer lights do not work, or only some of them do,
- the trailer indicators do not work or flash incorrectly,
- stored towbar module fault codes,
- no communication with the module during diagnostics.
Before replacing it, read the fault codes with a diagnostic tool and check the fuses, power supply, earth connection, module connectors and the towbar socket – corrosion in the socket or a damaged wiring harness causes similar symptoms.
