Where are the sensors located in the TCM?
The TCM receives information from sensors located in the transmission as well as a few shared over the multiplex network with the PCM. Sensors detect conditions such as movement or pressure and convert them into an electrical signal for the TCM. Automatic transmission input sensors include the:
When to replace a Transmission Control Module ( TCM )?
Rather than relying on hydraulic or mechanical control over a transmission system, newer vehicles use a transmission control module instead. A car’s TCM will likely never need replacing, but if you have a bad transmission control module, immediate replacement (or repair) will be necessary.
Where does the information from the TCM come from?
The TCM receives information from sensors located in the transmission as well as a few shared over the multiplex network with the PCM.
What happens if your TPMS sensor is dead?
Once the driving public learns that bringing a vehicle to a shop with dead sensors gives them an option to not replace the sensors and substitute standard snap-in valves, this may accelerate a situation whereby vehicles will have inoperative TPMS.

What are the symptoms of a bad transmission position sensor?
1. Car does not start or cannot move Without a proper Park/Neutral position input from the transmission range sensor, the PCM will not be able to crank the engine over for starting. This will leave your car in a situation where it cannot be started.
