Good video guy. Good to watch a video where somebody working on a vehicle is physically pointing out everything that they do. It helped a lot that you spoke in a clear voice. And you didn't do it on a windy day. Thanks again. I'm going to have to try this on my girlfriend's 05 Malibu. Keep up the good work
I liked and subscribed bro bro. My 06 impala start acting weird .stopped at red light and it would go until I turned the engine off and back on .work perfect. Second red light it did it again. This time I had to manually change the gear with my hand.
I have the same problem right now with my impala and I been watching your video and it looks easy to do my self instead of taking it to a shop but the part it’s self is not cheap
Hi Roudter, everyone is having issues finding this piece which it why I recorded this. It was only for location purposes only even though a lot of comments are requesting this what you are. Please go through the comments, you'll see that mine was doing a few different things. Not going pass 20mph was the main. Thanks
@@martinsmoto hey I gotta question bro for my 2007 chevy impala ls when I drive it shifts in 3 2 1 gear and reverse bt my overdrive not engaging wats the sensor for that. Is the tcm sensor?
Very helpful yo!! Just one question, i heard you have to take your vehicle to the dealer or to a mechanic to program the new installed tcm if not then the car wont respond, is this true?? Did your impala run without any issues after replacing the tcm?
my car is a 2006 chevy impala & the problem with it is that it barely runs if i’m stopped. i need to really press on the gas for it to go. i went to auto zone so they can check it and when i turned on my car.. it was loud. they said it shouldn’t sound like a truck & they also told me the problem was the TCM. do i have to replace it or just see what’s the problem with it?
When changing the TCM for a 2006 impala3.5,does the (used) replacement part needs to be reprogrammed or just switch it out and boom or what should I do???thanks.
@jose once I replaced mine it was just "plug and play" but what you can do do test is just replace the part and test drive it to see if the vehicle is having the same issues. If the vehicle is NOT having the same issues, you're good to go. If it's IS having the same issues, either that was not your issue or it does need to be programmed.
Good video! Hey, I have a 2007 impala, I was wondering if brakes,rotors,and or calibers and stop the car from moving in reverse? Brakes are scrubbing really bad. When I put it in reverse it feels like something is dragging when I press the gas then I put it in drive it goes forward but you can still hear the brakes scrubbing. Thanks in advance
Hey, these items won't stop the car from going in reverse but it can cause the dragging sound. The brakes would cause that sound but if the brakes are worn down really bad then the metal on the brakes are actually scratching/ damaging the rotors so from the sound of it, you need to get new brakes and rotors on all four tires. The caliber should be ok. If you can hear if the dragging is coming from the back or front that would really help as that's the ones that's probably causing the issue but I would change all four just to be on the safe side and before something else gets damaged. Hope this helps bro.
I have a 2013 chevy impala and the shift indicator stopped working....so it's like the car doesn't know when the change gears...hard jerk when I put in reverse....reverse lights do not cut on....when I drive it the car struggles to change gears and it won't go pass 60....one they the indicator came back on and the car ran fine....now it's off again...my question is....do you think i need to replace the computer....or....the transmission module
If my car is downshifting 2 gears when I try to hit passing gear, is that this module going bad? I've got a donor car and need to try and fix it while I might have the part. Mine is an 11 and 09 3.5 lts
I'm honestly not sure on that one. Did you get it tested? Did you check the trans oil? I really doubt it's the module though. I would look up bad tcm symptoms to see if that's one of the symptoms that a bad tcm causes. Hth
It wouldn't go. The message center showed "Engine Power Reduced" and the check engine light was also on. I took it to Autozone to get a diagnostic and that was one of the things that needed to be changed per the diagnostic test.
imdamanhommie ) Excellent video bro. One handed work is a trick for sure. I’m manually shifting mine. Not cool. The code I get is trans poss sensor. If I exceed 2000 RPM the odometer blows and the car won’t shift correctly. Until the car warms up. Then it runs but still can’t exceed 2k RPM. What you show is so easy! Could this be the same issue my vehicle is having. Please, advise. Impala 2007
Ok i have a 07 impala I got codes from AutoZone and it had p0700 which os the tcm replacement where did you buy yours from so I can just repeat the same steps as well you made it look so easy thanks for your videos
Did that fix the shifting issues? I have 06 Chevy impala that won't shift out of first, but I can still drive it in 3,2 & 1. It just won't change to second gear.
@@martinsmoto my current issue kinda sounds like all the other comments in here. Not being able to go faster than 20 miles a hour. It ran fine up till about a week ago. The transmission was replaced about 8 months ago with 1 that only had about 100k miles on it, so the fluid and filter was changed then. Fluid is still kinda pink, no burnt smell. I replaced the cam sensor, and the transmission speed sensor, and no codes on the motor or transmission side. So changing the tcm wouldn't hurt at this point right?
It may not go more than 30 mph...at least that was happening ro me. But I've changed 2 on two different cars and never had to get it programmed. Hope this helps
THE REASON IT WONT GO PAST A CERTAIN SPEED! IS BECAUSE ITS GOING INTO LIMP MODE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT YOUR MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION SO YOU DONT BLOW THEM UP
I have an 07 chevy impala while I was driving it the transmission wouldn't change gear and I turned it off and it would start and it was like it reset the transmission and would let me drive again and it did that about 10 miles to get it to a safe location what could that be
I'm honestly not sure on that one but I would first check the fluid level, then change the transmission screen. Other than that I wouldn't really know... is the check engine light on? If so, I would start from there. If not, and the other stuff don't work, I'd bring it to a shop because I'd rather pay to diagnose it then to keep riding like that and mess it up worse. Hope this helps
Hey I have an impala 2008 and the speedometer jumps up and down and when driving as i press on the gass it stalls and pulls when driving sometimes I also feel like i have to press the gas more then needed as if it’s pulling if that makes sense I changed the speedometer sensors/ transmission sensor .. I’ve been doing research and someone pointed out about torque converter but not sure… also ! When I took it to auto zone to scan the codes… it showed up as a code having to do with the gas tank sensor or in that nature I honestly forgot the code but will drop it in the comments when I find it anyways I bought a new gas cap. And yeah still jerks still have a vibration coming from what feels the throttle or transmission in that area of the car… any idea or thoughts on that ?
Hi, I'm not really sure on that one until I see what code it's pulling. Please provide that so I can check to see if that's something that may be causing your problem.
Hey brother that sounds like your speed sensor, it's located near the passenger wheel underneath the car. Replace that and your speed odometer will stop jumping causing your transmission to shift improperly. The transmission follows instructions from your cars speed, if the speed sensor is faulty than the transmission will shift rough
I have a 2008 Chevy Impala LTZ. It "jumps" when I excellerate, but only sometimes. Could it be I need to replace the tcm? If I excellerate slowly it helps when it starts to act up, but normally it is fine. It is an automatic flexi fuel.
Yes, but it was 3 things Autozone stated was wrong or that could have been causing that issue Rodnequea...(after getting a diagnostic check) 1. Transmission Control Module 2. Acceleration Petal 3. Throttle Body Once they told me that I changed all three. I can't really tell you which one caused the problem but which ever one it was got the job done.
@@martinsmoto Reduced power has to do with the throttle body or accelerator pedal not tcm module. The pedal most likely fixed it since they are a common issue for this vehicle. It's not good to believe parts sellers are technicians.
Hi mloren, my car wouldn't go pass 20mph and my check engine light was on when I bought the car from the auction. After testing it, the symptoms were 1. Replace Break Pedal 2. Replace TCM 3. Replace Throttle Body I bought and changed all three since I didn't know the history of the car (before I had it). Once I changed all three it ran just fine.
What causes the P0717 code? A few common causes can result in a P0717 code, including: A faulty valve body A faulty input/turbine speed sensor One or more faulty shift solenoids A shorted, open, or otherwise damaged circuit Contaminated transmission fluid A faulty engine coolant temperature sensor What are the symptoms of the P0717 code? When the P0717 code is stored, a number of symptoms will occur: The Check Engine light will turn on. The vehicle will not shift as expected and may have hard, sudden, or delayed shifts. The fuel efficiency will suffer. The engine will seem to misfire when coming to a stop after traveling at higher speeds. The engine will stall at idle. In some rare cases, the only symptom will be the Check Engine light, but in most instances one or more of these symptoms will occur.
I have a 2008 Chevy impala LT. And I was driving to work and it stopped in the middle of traffic. When I shift in any gear it doesn't move it will only shift in reverse and move it don't move in drive or any other gear could it be my Trans or another issue
No, I didn't have it flashed. It was just plug and play. Meaning I just disconnected the old one and them connected the new one and that was all. Everything still runs the same without having it flashed. Thanks
Hi Dennis, I didn't have to program mine bro...I just changed it and drove off...lol. I have heard of ppl needing to have some programmed though. You'll need to go to the stealership for that though man.
I have a 2007 impala ss has a delay going into drive takes a few seconds for it to go into drive other than that it shifts fine what could that be dirty transmission filter?
Could a tcm be the reason why my impala won’t start or crank when I turn the key I’ve changed the starter, neutral safety switch and made a better connection to the ground wires
@@ssj2cdogtv691 Did you find your issue? My 2010 Implala's Gauges Intermittently go crazy and the car would go into Limp Mode (Reduced Engine Power) along with service Traction Control and Service STabilitrac messages.. The shop has had it for Weeks and are having troubles duplicating the Issues... They have checked all the Grounds, Battery is only 3 months old... They are leaning towards a Faulty BCM (Body Control module)
Im not sure about the 2013. Did you follow the video to see if yours is in the same place? If it's not, I can't give you a sure answer as mine is a 2007. But I'll look around just to check for you.
My 2008 impala Ls won’t go over 20mph after that the rpm would be jumping when accelerating, no lights on the dashboard have popped up, havent taken it to autozone because no check engine comes on, i’m thinking it’s the transmission that gone bad, should i take it to autozonev
Yes Abraham, I would take it there just see if they CAN get a reading from it. Other than that, I would check all fuses and relay's if possible. When mine wasn't going pass 20mph I thought it was the transmission but it was the transmission control module.. not saying yours would be the same but it's worth a try.
imdamanhommie appreciate the response, hopefully it’s that or something that’s not as expensive as a transmission , already put to much money on that puppy,
THAT MEANS YOUR CAR IS IN LIMP MODE ITS A SAFETY FEATURE!!! TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO ON POSITION DONT START IT!! WITH KEY STILL IN THAT POSITION REMOVE POSITIVE SIDE OF BATTERY WAIT TWO MIN PUT TERMINAL BACK TIGHTEN IT!!! THEN START YOUR CAR LET IT IDLE FOR 5 MIN IN PARK.. OK TURN OFF ENGINE.GIVE IT A SECOND. THEN RESTART IT PUT IN GEAR AND DRIVE IT..THAT SHOULD FIX PROBLEM PLEASE LET US ALL KNOW THANKS
@@royeherts9221mine makes a loud noise, will go back and forth but when the noise get quiet the car is in drive but is not moving when I push on the gas pedal...HELP PLEASE thanks in advance
What was the car doing before replacing the tcm? I have an 06 with harsh shifting and I’ve had a p0717 code and a p0700 code I changed the input speed sensor and it says it isn’t reading
Mine was not going pass 20 mph and it started the tcm was one of the things that may be wrong so I changed it. Did you change what the code said it was?
I this case I honestly don't think it's the tcm which is very good. If you already purchased the speed sensor and it's still acting up I would move to the next code... what was that code for?
If I was the dealer I'd say the same thing bro... lol. It's not the dealer, it's the stealer-ship. I didn't have to and mine still riding strong 💪. You should try, it won't hurt anything.
Before you replace all these expensive parts!!!!!! Make sure that your air filter is clean if not replace with new!! Also make sure that your spark plugs are in good working order!!! If not replace!! This shift problem is caused by pcm trying to shut things down because sponsors aren’t sure what’s going on! Well what’s going on is a bad fuel ratio causing carbon/smog to build up so sensors are going crazy and computer if doing its thing!!
That's a bunch of horse shit. The TCM is in the air box so it can use the incoming flow as a cooler. Air filter yes, spark plugs? That's just silly and has nothing to do with shift sequencing. Father was a Certified Mechanic for over 42 years. I myself have wrenched on multiple makes and models for over 28 years.
Sorry for the late response but I never had to reprogram mine. If was just plug and play. From what I was told only the stealership can reprogram it which we all know how much that may be... lol 😆
Good vid man. But I do have a question. Would it be the part to replace if the Impala is shifting in and out of overdrive? Because mine runs from 1 to 3 just fine but overdrive is a friggin ping pong game.
Thanks man. I don't think that's the issue. Mine wasn't having issues with shifting, only how fast the car was going. I would definitely get that looked at if the fluid is at the correct level and the transmission filter is good. Hope this helps
@@martinsmoto Aight. I'll update as I try things. Like today. Tried the cheapest fix I could think of, clean the MAF and TPS sensors. Only reason I tried this was because I had a couple friends suggest it. Didn't do anything.
Late message , it from what I know , the VIN is programmed into the BCM, IPC, ECM. Changing the BCM, BCM integrates fuse panel , IPC ( on some models ) , ECM require a matching VIN to be programmed
Hay bro WHY did u change it..was it not shifting?...my moms 06 will go in gear but wont move..it not throwing any codes...i figured it was the shift synaloids..but tryn to figure out exactly wht it us b4 i tear her trans cover off...could this be wht was wrong with urs?
Mine was driving but only at 25mph. If it doesn't move then that's definitely the transmission. Did you check the oil? If it's filled then the transmission an issue.
I have a 2011 Chevy impala and it will go in all gears but it jurk on second gear and that’s it. I can get pass 100miles with the car but like I said it it jurk a little on second gear. I change the shift solenoid and change the wiring harness and the codes are P0700 and P0973.
@ECURE-ok1up hey, code states the tcm so I would change it and see how it goes. It's not cheap but it's better than buying another transmission. First I would just remove, clean and install the same one just to make sure it's not dirty. Please let me know if you have any other questions
@@moatazhassan2466 if it's driving normal... let it. Once the Check Engine light displays again, run to Autozone and let them do a diagnostic check for free. The diagnostic check will provide them with a code. Once they put the code into their system it will show them what error the car is giving. That's the best start. Otherwise, you'll be spending hundreds of dollars trying to figure it out on your own since the transmission has so many parts attached.
So wat that do cause I have a 06 ss Impala but my car will go then it will stop then I have to turn it off a wait awhile then it will go forward wats the problem
That doesn't sound like the time. I would advise getting that tested. Especially if your check engine light is on. That actually sounds like an alternator symptom. Hope this helps
Can u help my electronic stability control keeps coming on my dash and disables my all wheel drive and when I change gears it hard shifts just changed the transmission on it. Mechanic is replacing my computer module to the transmission said it might be a faulty module cause it's not sending the signal to the transmission have to continuously turn my vehicle off and on again to get it to work again. Comes on again after 20 mins of driving
@@silvermadero1186 ok so if it was my car I would pay the inspection fee at the dealership if the module don't fix the issue. No need to spend a bunch of money to figure out what the issue is when you can just pay them to do a diagnostic check bro. I know that's not the answer you want to hear but it's the honest one.
2013 Impala LTZ- Code U0101 on scanner Shifts very hard when changing to Reverse, engine whines and goes slow once accelerating. Could this be the tcm?
Not sure on this one because that's a different vehicle. I do have a 2014 at the crib but never had that issue so I can't speak on it or give you any advice. If you figure it out, please post the system here so we all can know what the issue was. 😊
AGAIN LIMP MODE IS A SAFETY FEATURE!! IM TRYING TO TELL ALL YOU PEOPLE. TO RESET IT SHUT CAR OFF TURN KEY ON BUT DONT CRANK IT OVER.LEAVE KEY IN THAT SAME POSITION..DISCONNECT THE POSITIVE CABLE ON BATTERY.LEAVE KEY ON..WITH KEY STILL ON PUT BATTERY TERMINAL BACK ON BEFORE YOU START MOTOR MAKE SURE BATTERY TERMINALS ARE TIGHT FROM THE KEY POSITION IN SAME POSITION TURN ENGINE ON!! ! DO NOT!!! SHUT KEY OFF BEFORE CRANKING IT OVER JUST START IT DO NOT GIVE IT GAS LET IDLE FOR THREE MIN..CLOSE HOOD AND TRY DRIVING IT...LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPENS
If it won't move, that's definitely a transmission issue unfortunately 😕. Mine moved but didn't go pass 25 mph. Plus, that was one of the codes that popped up for me (transmission control module).
@@brianbuxton6228 no @ Brian. Mine just wouldn't let me go ods 15mph with the check engine light on. I tested it at Autozone and that was one of the codes that popped up.
You should have explained why you were changing the TCM and what problem you were having with transmission the reason for you changing the TCM that would be more helpful than knowing where it is and changing it out!
I would've thought it was obvious that a code popped up stating the TCM was faulty but if not, the car was not going pass 25mph and that was one of the codes that popped up when I bought the car from the auction. Hth
@@mogomega8825 all you can do at this point is purchase and try bro. You may not need to flash it. I bought mine from Ebay so it didn't cost too much... figured it wouldn't hurt to try a cheap one, and it worked. I bought it for about $50. If I would have got it from the stealership I would have paid almost $600 and they DEFINITELY would have made me believe it needed to be flashed...smh
This doesn't seem to be your issue Chris. It seems like you may have a pedal issue or something connected to it. I would go to AutoZone and let them tell you what it is and the cost to fix these codes and then check on Amazon or eBay to get the cheaper price.
Need help bro car has to warm up to normal temperature then I have to turn the car off turn it back on to put it in drive to go then at a light it would just rev then I have to keep repeating turnin the car off to go
Hey lovely, the only reason I changed it was because when I had a diagnosis done on the car, that was one of the things the computer said was MY issue was. If your car switch gears fine but does not move while it's in that specific gear, that may be the transmission itself. I had the same problem in another car. My car would let me put it in reverse but while in reverse it just revs like it's in neutral when the gas is pressed. If yours is doing this it might be the transmission as well but please don't just go off of what I'm saying, have it looked at by a professional. If it was stuck in a specific gear that would be different but it allows you to put it in gear but won't move. Please let new know If you have any other questions. I always answer. Good luck with everything!
@@martinsmoto ughhh yes its still in my driveway. Cant even afford to get it to a shop for diagnosis. I just wish I could get someone to look. Going thru all types of different reason is driving me crazy. LoL thank you so much for responding.
@@hercules71185 my 2009 Chevy Impala auto transmission is having the same Issue if I read right. Will not engage in drive but if you start in 1st from a stop you can work your way up from first to second to third gear then put it into drive and it will work fine. Any info would be appreciative.
Not sure if this is something you can do. This requires a certain set of tools and knowledge. I didn't have to reprogram mine but my best answer would be to contact the dealer and ask them if it's possible. You may need to contact 3 or 4 before someone can give you a detailed answer. Don't just take the first answer provided. Hope this helps.
@@martinsmoto the reason I think it needs programming is because after I changed the tcm and started my car, I can't move the gear to drive it was stuck on park. It was working before I changed the tcm.

It may not go more than 30 mph...at least that was happening ro me. But I've changed 2 on two different cars and never had to get it programmed. Hope this helps
@@martinsmoto thanks man.
THE REASON IT WONT GO PAST A CERTAIN SPEED! IS BECAUSE ITS GOING INTO LIMP MODE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT YOUR MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION SO YOU DONT BLOW THEM UP
I have an 07 chevy impala while I was driving it the transmission wouldn't change gear and I turned it off and it would start and it was like it reset the transmission and would let me drive again and it did that about 10 miles to get it to a safe location what could that be
I'm honestly not sure on that one but I would first check the fluid level, then change the transmission screen. Other than that I wouldn't really know... is the check engine light on? If so, I would start from there. If not, and the other stuff don't work, I'd bring it to a shop because I'd rather pay to diagnose it then to keep riding like that and mess it up worse.
Hope this helps
Hey I have an impala 2008 and the speedometer jumps up and down and when driving as i press on the gass it stalls and pulls when driving sometimes I also feel like i have to press the gas more then needed as if it’s pulling if that makes sense I changed the speedometer sensors/ transmission sensor .. I’ve been doing research and someone pointed out about torque converter but not sure… also ! When I took it to auto zone to scan the codes… it showed up as a code having to do with the gas tank sensor or in that nature I honestly forgot the code but will drop it in the comments when I find it anyways I bought a new gas cap. And yeah still jerks still have a vibration coming from what feels the throttle or transmission in that area of the car… any idea or thoughts on that ?
Hi, I'm not really sure on that one until I see what code it's pulling. Please provide that so I can check to see if that's something that may be causing your problem.
Did you figure out what it was?
Hey brother that sounds like your speed sensor, it's located near the passenger wheel underneath the car. Replace that and your speed odometer will stop jumping causing your transmission to shift improperly. The transmission follows instructions from your cars speed, if the speed sensor is faulty than the transmission will shift rough
I got p0877 code in my 2013 chevy impala after test how much would it cost approx. to repair or replace TCM .thanks..
Not sure of the cost...I got mine from eBay for less than $100 though 😅
Does the number on the computer does anything or just get the same year of your car
Get the same one as the year of your car bro
I have a 2008 Chevy Impala LTZ. It "jumps" when I excellerate, but only sometimes. Could it be I need to replace the tcm? If I excellerate slowly it helps when it starts to act up, but normally it is fine. It is an automatic flexi fuel.
That doesn't sound like the TCM. The TCM causes MAJOR issues when it fails. Hth
Those are engine mounts causing that
Hi Jeannie,
Did you find it the problem to be the engine mounts? I'm having the same issue but can't quite find the problem.
was your car hesitant once you came to a complete stop? basically acted as if it didn't want to go it would move but wouldn't go as fast?
Yes, but it was 3 things Autozone stated was wrong or that could have been causing that issue Rodnequea...(after getting a diagnostic check)
1. Transmission Control Module
2. Acceleration Petal
3. Throttle Body
Once they told me that I changed all three. I can't really tell you which one caused the problem but which ever one it was got the job done.
@@martinsmoto Reduced power has to do with the throttle body or accelerator pedal not tcm module. The pedal most likely fixed it since they are a common issue for this vehicle. It's not good to believe parts sellers are technicians.
what was the reason for replacing the TCM what was going on that made you change it . I have a code PO 717 would that HEPL??
Hi mloren, my car wouldn't go pass 20mph and my check engine light was on when I bought the car from the auction. After testing it, the symptoms were
1. Replace Break Pedal
2. Replace TCM
3. Replace Throttle Body
I bought and changed all three since I didn't know the history of the car (before I had it). Once I changed all three it ran just fine.
What causes the P0717 code?
A few common causes can result in a P0717 code, including:
A faulty valve body
A faulty input/turbine speed sensor
One or more faulty shift solenoids
A shorted, open, or otherwise damaged circuit
Contaminated transmission fluid
A faulty engine coolant temperature sensor
What are the symptoms of the P0717 code?
When the P0717 code is stored, a number of symptoms will occur:
The Check Engine light will turn on.
The vehicle will not shift as expected and may have hard, sudden, or delayed shifts.
The fuel efficiency will suffer.
The engine will seem to misfire when coming to a stop after traveling at higher speeds.
The engine will stall at idle.
In some rare cases, the only symptom will be the Check Engine light, but in most instances one or more of these symptoms will occur.
I have a 2008 Chevy impala LT. And I was driving to work and it stopped in the middle of traffic. When I shift in any gear it doesn't move it will only shift in reverse and move it don't move in drive or any other gear could it be my Trans or another issue
Sorry Greg but this is definitely a transmission issue. Check your fluid too, that will make it not go in gear as well.
Thanks
Did you have to have this flashed? If I bought a used one will it work ok with my car?
No, I didn't have it flashed. It was just plug and play. Meaning I just disconnected the old one and them connected the new one and that was all. Everything still runs the same without having it flashed. Thanks
Why did you replace it?
I have a question would the transmission control module cause the car locks to go up and down and cause the engine to go dead while driving ??
@@archieperkins187 no, it would not. That sounds like something electrical. Thanks
@@martinsmoto thanks for getting back with me !! I’ve gotten so many different answers to this question,, thanks for eliminating one of them 👍🏾💯
WHY did you choose to replace the Transmission ECM? What were the symptoms?
When I went to AutoZone, this was one of the things they stated I needed to replace. My car was not going past 20mph
do you have to program the module? if so, how?
Hi Dennis, I didn't have to program mine bro...I just changed it and drove off...lol. I have heard of ppl needing to have some programmed though. You'll need to go to the stealership for that though man.
I have a 2007 impala ss has a delay going into drive takes a few seconds for it to go into drive other than that it shifts fine what could that be dirty transmission filter?
It's possible... also check the fluid level while the car is running
Could a tcm be the reason why my impala won’t start or crank when I turn the key I’ve changed the starter, neutral safety switch and made a better connection to the ground wires
No, it's def not the tcm bro. What do it do when you turn the key? How does it sound?
@@martinsmoto it just shows the dash lights and the box indicator doesn’t show what gear it’s in and just makes a click noise when I turn the key
@@ssj2cdogtv691 Did you find your issue? My 2010 Implala's Gauges Intermittently go crazy and the car would go into Limp Mode (Reduced Engine Power) along with service Traction Control and Service STabilitrac messages.. The shop has had it for Weeks and are having troubles duplicating the Issues... They have checked all the Grounds, Battery is only 3 months old... They are leaning towards a Faulty BCM (Body Control module)
I have a 2013 impala is the module in the transmission??
Im not sure about the 2013. Did you follow the video to see if yours is in the same place? If it's not, I can't give you a sure answer as mine is a 2007. But I'll look around just to check for you.
Do you have to re program the tcm?
No Carlos, for my vehicle I did not have to get it programmed bro.
My 2008 impala Ls won’t go over 20mph after that the rpm would be jumping when accelerating, no lights on the dashboard have popped up, havent taken it to autozone because no check engine comes on, i’m thinking it’s the transmission that gone bad, should i take it to autozonev
Yes Abraham, I would take it there just see if they CAN get a reading from it. Other than that, I would check all fuses and relay's if possible. When mine wasn't going pass 20mph I thought it was the transmission but it was the transmission control module.. not saying yours would be the same but it's worth a try.
imdamanhommie appreciate the response, hopefully it’s that or something that’s not as expensive as a transmission , already put to much money on that puppy,
THAT MEANS YOUR CAR IS IN LIMP MODE ITS A SAFETY FEATURE!!! TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO ON POSITION DONT START IT!! WITH KEY STILL IN THAT POSITION REMOVE POSITIVE SIDE OF BATTERY WAIT TWO MIN PUT TERMINAL BACK TIGHTEN IT!!! THEN START YOUR CAR LET IT IDLE FOR 5 MIN IN PARK.. OK TURN OFF ENGINE.GIVE IT A SECOND. THEN RESTART IT PUT IN GEAR AND DRIVE IT..THAT SHOULD FIX PROBLEM PLEASE LET US ALL KNOW THANKS
@@royeherts9221mine makes a loud noise, will go back and forth but when the noise get quiet the car is in drive but is not moving when I push on the gas pedal...HELP PLEASE thanks in advance
What was the car doing before replacing the tcm? I have an 06 with harsh shifting and I’ve had a p0717 code and a p0700 code I changed the input speed sensor and it says it isn’t reading
Mine was not going pass 20 mph and it started the tcm was one of the things that may be wrong so I changed it. Did you change what the code said it was?
It says the turbine/speed sensor has no signal. P0717 code
I this case I honestly don't think it's the tcm which is very good. If you already purchased the speed sensor and it's still acting up I would move to the next code... what was that code for?
@@martinsmoto You didn't get a code?
@@PantherSteven yes, I cannot remember what the code was but it told me 3 things may be the problem so I changed all three lol.
Hello I'm Kelvin I would watching your video do you have to have the TCM reprogram by dealer of what
Hi Kelvin, I did not have to have mine programmed by anyone. Once it was changed it started working. Thanks 😊
I have a 2009 impala. It will go in reverse and 1st gear. It just happened all of a sudden. What should I do? I’m hoping it’s a sensor or this TCM.
Your gears are gone... honestly another transmission is a better option. Sorry, i know you don't wanna hear that
did you ever figure it out?? You can take out 10A trans fuse@@martinsmoto
I replaced the tcm on my 06 impala SS just like u did but it wudnt shift called dealer told me it had to b programed
If I was the dealer I'd say the same thing bro... lol. It's not the dealer, it's the stealer-ship. I didn't have to and mine still riding strong 💪. You should try, it won't hurt anything.
Before you replace all these expensive parts!!!!!! Make sure that your air filter is clean if not replace with new!! Also make sure that your spark plugs are in good working order!!! If not replace!! This shift problem is caused by pcm trying to shut things down because sponsors aren’t sure what’s going on! Well what’s going on is a bad fuel ratio causing carbon/smog to build up so sensors are going crazy and computer if doing its thing!!
That's a bunch of horse shit. The TCM is in the air box so it can use the incoming flow as a cooler. Air filter yes, spark plugs? That's just silly and has nothing to do with shift sequencing. Father was a Certified Mechanic for over 42 years. I myself have wrenched on multiple makes and models for over 28 years.

Can I use a tcm from a 2008 chevy impala in a 2012 chevy impala
I wouldn't recommend that @drestrapp
Will this work on a 2005 lacrosse with a 3800 series 3 ?
Not sure but nothing beats a failure but a try right?
Good vid man. But I do have a question. Would it be the part to replace if the Impala is shifting in and out of overdrive? Because mine runs from 1 to 3 just fine but overdrive is a friggin ping pong game.
Thanks man. I don't think that's the issue. Mine wasn't having issues with shifting, only how fast the car was going. I would definitely get that looked at if the fluid is at the correct level and the transmission filter is good.
Hope this helps

is the tcm specific for the 07 ss impala or is it a general part for the impala or chevys
@@jamesmcgee4101 specific to each vehicle. Sorry I'm just seeing this
Late message , it from what I know , the VIN is programmed into the BCM, IPC, ECM. Changing the BCM, BCM integrates fuse panel , IPC ( on some models ) , ECM require a matching VIN to be programmed
Hay bro WHY did u change it..was it not shifting?...my moms 06 will go in gear but wont move..it not throwing any codes...i figured it was the shift synaloids..but tryn to figure out exactly wht it us b4 i tear her trans cover off...could this be wht was wrong with urs?
Mine was driving but only at 25mph. If it doesn't move then that's definitely the transmission. Did you check the oil? If it's filled then the transmission an issue.

Thank u!!!!
Did you have to reprogram the tcm?
No...I didn't
I have a 2011 Chevy impala and it will go in all gears but it jurk on second gear and that’s it. I can get pass 100miles with the car but like I said it it jurk a little on second gear. I change the shift solenoid and change the wiring harness and the codes are P0700 and P0973.
@ECURE-ok1up hey, code states the tcm so I would change it and see how it goes. It's not cheap but it's better than buying another transmission. First I would just remove, clean and install the same one just to make sure it's not dirty. Please let me know if you have any other questions
Also mine would drive in 1 gear Nd check engine light would come on and then the next day it would be normal again what do you think that would be??
Did you go to autozone while the light was on to see what codes came up? If not, please do, then you'll have a starting point
imdamanhommie yeah I did and the code came up for a transmission control module as well
imdamanhommie but now the car is driving normal again for the last 2 days
@@moatazhassan2466 if it's driving normal... let it. Once the Check Engine light displays again, run to Autozone and let them do a diagnostic check for free. The diagnostic check will provide them with a code. Once they put the code into their system it will show them what error the car is giving. That's the best start. Otherwise, you'll be spending hundreds of dollars trying to figure it out on your own since the transmission has so many parts attached.
It's a gm I got a 07 getting my trans replaced. Jus call OnStar in your car and get a diagnosis.
So wat that do cause I have a 06 ss Impala but my car will go then it will stop then I have to turn it off a wait awhile then it will go forward wats the problem
That doesn't sound like the time. I would advise getting that tested. Especially if your check engine light is on. That actually sounds like an alternator symptom.
Hope this helps
Did you have to reprogram the TCM?
No, I did not have to reprogram. Thanks
Is this the same process for a 12 impala?

Hey is there a reason y you changed the TCM?
My transmission wont go into drive, only reverse.
Hey lovely, the only reason I changed it was because when I had a diagnosis done on the car, that was one of the things the computer said was MY issue was. If your car switch gears fine but does not move while it's in that specific gear, that may be the transmission itself. I had the same problem in another car. My car would let me put it in reverse but while in reverse it just revs like it's in neutral when the gas is pressed. If yours is doing this it might be the transmission as well but please don't just go off of what I'm saying, have it looked at by a professional. If it was stuck in a specific gear that would be different but it allows you to put it in gear but won't move. Please let new know If you have any other questions. I always answer. Good luck with everything!
