2007 Mazda 3 Transmission Control Module (TCM) Replacement.
มุมมอง 322K8 ปีที่แล้ว
2007 Mazda 3 with rough shifting / No shifting. AT light comes on and drive letter goes blank and Drive number goes blank. Here is a video I put together following the steps I took to trouble shoot and replace the TCM on my 2007 Mazda 3.
Hi, i have a question I bought a TCM module with exactly the same serial number, it is identical to the damaged TCM, do i just have to replace it ? Don't have to reprogram or something similar ? Thx
Doesn’t need to be reprogrammed.
how much tcm mazda 3 2006 model 2.0 l
I look for the tcm and I Don't see the computer
tengo un mazda 3 2007 y no le veo el modulo tcm
It should be located under the battery box. debe estar ubicado debajo de la caja de la batería
@@rodlewis276 I looked for it but it's not in that place, mine is a 2007 Japanese Mazda 3i.
Thanks for this video. I had exact problem but I paid over $1k for the fix.. the part my shop ordered is new and costed $760.. but the car runs like normal.. I wish I could just try to order the part and attempt to fix my own, but I already brought my car to the shop prior finding a solution online.
Bummer. It was an easy fix. You sure could have done it yourself. I have had moms write me and thank me for this video. It helped them fix their daughters car. Really couldn’t imagine it would help so many people. I feel truly amazed it has been viewed as many times as it has.
Rod, would you be able to recommend where to buy this TCM from? Apparently the eBay link you have is no longer working. Thanks budd
Try Googling L34T-18-9E1E. You can always get one from a Mazda dealer, then follow video steps to install yourself. Good luck. 👍
I want to buy one but the last letter is "C" no "A" i just want know if is compatible
The higher the letter the newer the revision. As long as all the other numbers are the same it should work. Good luck!
Doesn’t the OBD reader give you a specific code, so if the code gives you P0720, then is it a tcm?
I think that code is shifter solenoid. You can google the error message.
@@rodlewis276 thank you. However even online information hasn’t been very direct and I’ll check it out
Buenas tardes mi carro marca la AT cuando le doy switch; pero no me marca ningún codigo en el scanner que podría ser?? La única falla que hace es que golpea cuando lo pongo en D, todos los cambios los hacce bien
Does this part fit both 2.3 and 2.0 engines ??
I believe yes. My work was done on the 2.3 engine. I believe AT is the same for all engine types.
I have a 2008 mazda 3 with 2.0. The TCM is built into the ECU. I forgot which years have the built in TCM so you'll have to search Google for your specific model.
@@rodlewis276 I have a 2007 Mazda 3 2.0 and I took out the battery and the case and the TCM was no where to be found? It has a 4 speed AT and the 2.3 has a 5 speed. Help?
Where did you get your tcm for madza3
I didn't have to replace the tcm I had the same problem and I just switch the neutral safety switch in The transmission it only cost me 12 bucks and it worked perfectly
As of Aug 2022, Mazda dealer was $1000 CDN. Thanks for video and will check Ebay link
Mazda 3 2007 2.3L, stuck in 2nd gear. TCM ending in E cost just under $1000 new from Mazda dealerships. Took a couple hours to fix because some bolts were rusty and not experienced. Problem fixed. Engine Light & AT lights are now gone 👍 Thank you for the very helpful guide Rod Lewis!
That is great news! You are the reason I made and posted this video. I can’t believe how many people it’s helped. 🤙🏻
My mechanic said “If it’s that you gotta program it else it won’t move “ is this true ?
No. It does not need to be programmed.
IF YOU HAD DONE ANY CHECKING AT ALL ....YOU WOULD. NOT PUT THE MODULE BACK WHERE IT WILL ONLY FAIL AGAIN FROM OVER HEATING .... ALWAYS MOVE THE TCM TO THE FIRWALL ...ALWAYS !!!!
Whats the firwall?
Helpful suggestion, but waiting another 15yrs for the TCM to cook again isn’t a bad amount of time if you didn’t get around to re-positioning it.
Hey this video really help out alot i was having problem for weeks now and today i finally did for myself
I’m glad it helped.
Thank you! Mine just started doing this and this is the best video I’ve found on it so far!
Glad you like. I write technical procedures as a part of my real job. Used those skills to try to make it short, sweet and to the point. No wasting anyones time. 😎
Been having the same symptoms, rough shifts, won’t go past third, at light comes on then turns off🤷🏻♂️ Just ordered a refurbished replacement Tcm from eBay. Error code kept saying output shaft sensor, but replaced it and still having the same symptoms. Been checking the internet and different forums, everyone’s saying it’s the tcm. So wish me luck boys, I’ll keep y’all updated 😂🫡
Please reply back with your results. Lots of people have done this and that is the best reward I can think of. It’s easy! You got this!
@@rodlewis276 just changed the part and car drives normally again. 🙏 thanks for the video
@@FULLtiltSENDER I told you you got this! 👍
Do you know of Mazda moved the placement of the TCM on the 2009 Mazda 3 or is it in the same spot?
I just changed mine aperently they go bad because of the heat from the transmission this is my second one replacing olot of people say sip tie it to the brake hoses so it can last longer but I went an put some felt pads on the bottom what u think ? Awesome vid
Rev E uses higher temp soldier, but anything to reduce the heat that the part sees should help life time of the part.
Just got mines from eBay 400 💵
Can you drive the car when the ctm is messed up? Im asking just because im thinking about purchasing one of this cara.
It depends on how messed up it is. It will eventually leave you stranded on the side of the road and calling a tow truck.
Just removed mine to send away to be refurbished. This was really helpful!
Some people say, you have to have it programmed by a computer either before or after you install it. Any suggestions
See comments below in this thread. No it doesn’t need to be programmed.
thanks, great video-dealer wanted $700 for used installed unit

Can the TCM be rebooted?
Change oil ..do job with good obd2.
You leave the View
If I fix that would it let me put it back to the M and can I see the gears 🤔
Is it just plug and play or would you have to take it to a place to get it programmed to the car?
The TCM does not need to be programmed.
Was this a recall ?
I don’t think so. But a design flaw for sure. They should have located the TCM somewhere cooler.
SUPER WELL DONE VIDEO!!!..I wish all repair videos were dona 1/2 as well as yours. Painless to watch...THANK YOU!
Glad you liked it! I wanted it to be direct at to the point.
It won’t throw any codes because you disconnected the battery and it reset it . Hope it fixed your car thought ! I just bought one and really hoping it fixes it !
Quick question for you guys .. I have 2008 Mazda 3 hatchback also with a TCM that needs replacement.. let’s say I drove the car for a few days .. tranny still seems fine .. although my sensor goes on then a couple minutes after driving it goes away and drives like normal .. will that eventually mess up my transmission? The TCM is shipping as we speak
You need to look at error code your car is giving. If your error message is same as in my video then your TCM is having communication errors. This is typically from the PCB getting so hot the soldering remelts and components start to become disconnected. Heat cycles can make the problems intermittent but it will eventually get worse with time.
What if the lights on but the car still runs fine? Electrical problem?
On my mazda 3 2008 model, the TCM is not located down there. I checked all over and still can't find it Can some one helps
Ok thanks, but i have 2 questions: does it have to be program or straight swap, how do i get the part number if i got the other one before taking off the old one, i am planning to order it from junk yard, i drive the car to work every day
Does not need to be programmed. Part number L34T-18-9E1E
nice video, very informative ! Thank You
Thank you. I am glad it helped you.
Did the AT light turn off automatically??? I had the same exact problem. I replaced the tcm and all the symptoms were fixed! But my AT LIGHT is still on. Which is weird
Yes. It reset for me. Please check error codes. You might have multiple issues.
Where did u buy ur Tcm I’m having same problem but lil expensive
See my pinned comment.
My father has one of these, his is 2006 mazda 2.3L, man, I'll tell you, this makes me appreciate my Saturn SL2 1.9L....lol Mazsa is a good car, don't get me wrong and hate on me but it's just so much easier to work on. Even with the mods I've added. My father's TCM is bad too, slams into third from fourth or fifth and the auto trans light comes on. it's a very expensive part to replace too. Anywhere from $400 to almost $800 bucks at the one mazda dealer in my area, just for the part....lol Oh, BTW, the engine has to be ice cold to truly test if it's fixed.
I got that sane problem with my mazda 3
Never buy a Mazda
I have a similar problem. I changed the TCM 2 days ago, it did not fix any problem, unfortunately. My car always shows: check engine and AT lights. Very rough shifting from park to reverse and drive. It would not shift over 3rd gear. Manul shifting not working. Does any have any suggestion?
Just got mine in from Mazda swag before even watching your video. But a little more expensive.
Don't ever buy a Mazda.
My traction control light is on my AT light is on and the car is running weird it isles high like the RPMs are real high when my car is put in reverse my engine shakes
I replaced the tcm but now the car wont start. The horn keeps blaring,the lights are on the fan is on but the car wont start
Thank you
