    Hey i was trying to follow along with testing the harness. It seems like my connector is upside down from yours. If my wires from the harness is on the bottom on the connector, my #1 pin is on the bottom right column. But once i figured that out all the test came out good. I have a 2011 sierra 2500 duramax. Maybe they changed it around through the years. Anyway thanks for the video looks like i need a tcm.

    DO NOT use a big test light like I did in your connector pins. Doing that hogged out my connector pins and one of the pins was not making contact with my brand new TCM. This caused me to have a persistent CODE U0101 and it also had no manual mode. When you drop the transmission down into manual it was just stuck on the 6th gear it would not move from there but the truck drove fine it wasn't stuck in third gear or anything. I carefully closed up the female terminals in the connector with a pair of very small needle nose pliers after I took out the red connector retainer. Fired the truck up and my manual mode was working again.

    Hey people I had that u0101 code.2012 3500hd Duramax.
    I believed it was the TMC. AFTER months of trying to find another, I found a rebuild shop. Tested the TCM said it was good. But I found the wire harness on the pass side of tranny, THAT connection was polluted with tranny fluid! It can cause all kinds of codes. Going to replace the harness in the tranny. AND do this wire check like this video.

    I need help bud, my 2008 lmm, got the p0872 code. My trans never slipped, never beat on it, was driving normally on highway, getting off exit while it was slowing down,engine light popped and it went right to 4th gear lock. It has higher miles, so after reading code I decided to do a complete VB-internall wire harness ect. I spent 6 hours laying in snow to do it. Its my only vehicle and I have a 6yr old. So I can't be without. Test drove last night, was fine for first couple miles until I got up to 55 mph past 4th gear, and when slowing down to stop sign same thing. Engine light, limp locked to 4th gear. Same code. I'm so upset idk what else to do.

      “You'd need to have the autocal or V2 and tunes to re-load onto the TCM. We've had some guys honestly like how they drive with the latest calibration vs a modded one. You can always buy new TCM tuning and add later if you really need it.”
