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.

When does an engine control unit start causing trouble?
Typical symptoms are hard or no starting, an engine warning light, limp mode, no communication with diagnostics and injection system errors. Before replacing the unit, check the power supply, grounds, fuses and wiring – the control unit is not always the cause.
Locked or unlocked version?
A locked unit still carries the data and immobiliser of the previous car – it suits workshops that unlock, program and match the part themselves. We prepare an unlocked unit before dispatch (about 1–2 working days). Not every unlocking method is available for every unit – it depends on the number, software and immobiliser, so ask before buying if in doubt. Details: engine ECU preparation options.
