How To Reset A Chevy Silverado Transmission Control Module (A Step-By-Step Guide)
How To Reset A Chevy Silverado Transmission Control Module (A Step-By-Step Guide). In this video tutorial I will show you how to reset Chevy Silverado transmission control module. Here’s how to do it: • Turn your key to the ‘On’ position but do not start the engine. Ensure that your dash lights are visible. You’ll hear two clicks when the lights are turning on. • Press down your gas pedal completely. • Hold the gas pedal down for at least 10 seconds. • Turn your key to the ‘Off’ position while still holding down the gas pedal. Don’t remove your key. • Release your gas pedal. You should release the gas pedal as soon as you turn the key to the ‘Off’ position but not while turning it. • Wait for at least 2.5 minutes as your engine rests. You should not engage any of your vehicle’s systems. • Test drive your vehicle for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Maintain a decent speed and your TCM should reset. The process may vary on step 4 depending on your Chevy Silverado model. If the TCM doesn’t reset, try removing the key from the ignition in step 4. If your TCM still fails to reset after removing the key, try a hard reset. To perform a hard reset: • Turn your vehicle off. • Wear protective gear, including gloves and goggles. • Disconnect the battery. Disconnect the negative cable first. • Press your horn to drain any remaining excess energy in your system. • Reconnect your battery. You should connect the positive cable first. Disconnecting the battery will reset the whole electrical system but may not actually reset the TCM in some Chevy models. If disconnecting the battery doesn’t reset your TCM, you may need to locate, disconnect and reconnect your TCM. Check your owner’s manual to know and find the right fuses that you should remove to disconnect and reconnect your TCM. This may require you to seek professional help.
