You actually sounded out PRNDL. That made my day.

Really enjoyed this info. Very helpful... btw: I recently programmed a Nissan pcm. What a headache to say the least 🥴🥴

Yes Nissan is a bit of a different animal

I have ford foucs 2012. When I drive for an hour, the reverse didn't not work and the transmission jump from 1 to 3. After the car get cold for long hours it can drive normaly. Is that Tcm error and need to change to a new one?

[@jenniferbillings9825]

I'm having the same problem and mine is showing its the acuator b which is part of the tcm but that part isn't covered which is so bizarre

[@ivanmilla3670]

Hey buddy what program you are using?? On the computer for ford?

HI there, I saw your video on youtube about TCM programming . So i got a few ford fiesta tcm and mazda 3 tcm. How can I test if they are programmed properly and if they need any programming how can i do it. I can buy the hardware and softwares needed. My biggest concern is how do I diagnose/ program the tcm without fitting the tcm to the car. I saw a lot of videos on youtube where they plug the J-box to the car to diagnose/ program. I would be happy if you could help me out. Thank you Fernando

[@ZoomAutoDiag]

The clutch adaptive failed on me twice before finally passing the third time on a used module. I was shook being my first PMi just a couple days ago. I thought I messed up somehow. But all came together and everything worked out great.

[@BrianMann216]

Glad you nailed it!

[@ZoomAutoDiag]

@@BrianMann216 thanks man. Not going to lie, I'm super stoked and proud of myself. I have had a lot of anxiety about programming modules. Thanks for your contribution to the community man, it really helps people grow in this field. Keep doing awesome things sir.

[@BrianMann216]

@@ZoomAutoDiag keep up the good work expanding your knowledge. I used to be anxious every time I hit the "GO " button.. I dont worry so much anymore.. after literally thousands of program jobs. When I do something new I am more aware of what is going on ,, and some times a but more uptight because I dont know what to expect!

Hi, are these TCM modules repairable? Is it possible to program them on the bench? Thanks

[@SoyDiegoReyes]

Hi, excuse me I have the VIM II for but my IDS doesn’t have the option of Module Programing! Is there a Way that I can get in touch with you? Thanks

[@BrianMann216]

Vmm is not a vcm

[@segounlocks5029]

When i get touch point numbers that far off from each other normally thst tcm seems to drive like crap. Have you noticed that?

[@dougstiffler7713]

Very informative. What program do I need to buy and what cable etc is required for me to perform these functions? Best regards, Doug

[@BrianMann216]

A j2534 interface and fjds will work. I have a video lesson showing download and install of the software to do this with a j2534 device on the core or premium membership at handsonautotraining.com

[@jahking2227]

Good day, I would like to know what model programming tool did you use? And also if you know about any cheap programer that I can purchase?

[@BrianMann216]

I used the vcm2

[@segounlocks5029]

Also if you use same tcm part number you can skip pass progrmaing and just do a relearn. Found that out after losing $50 everytime I would program a bad tcm. Very hard to find used good ones.

[@Usmanthemecano]

Can an autel 906bt program it?

[@BrianMann216]

Not the the programming part, maybe the initialization and learning

[@ekremgurler7019]

Hi Mr.Brian I want to ask a question about my Ford Focus.I live in TURKEY. It’s 2015 model , 1.5 tdci powershift. Recently I had a warning on the screen as ‘’ Battery shut downed the system to keep itself’’.I called service and they offered to replace the battery because it was low or overed. We replaced it with a new battery, after that I had another 3 more faults. 1-Engine fault 2-AutoHold is not used 3-Transmission is in limited mod. But nearly for 20 days these faults havent been apparead again.Authorized local mechanics of Ford advise to change TCM and test again, İt may be need to be replaced all transmission unit . Fault code is P2855. What do you you advise us ? Can it be solved by reprogramming the TCM by computer ? , İ hope to hear from you worriedly

[@hectormerida1714]

Where can I buy a computer like the one you use,. all the equipment you used in that program?

[@BrianMann216]

Windows 10 pro with a i5 and at least 8 gigs of ram is my recommendation, software is available from the manufacturers , a drew technology cardaq3 plus will do you well.

[@uniy123]

Do you know if a new TCM will fix codes P2767 and P0720? I replaced both sensors, but no fix yet.

[@BrianMann216]

I do not know those codes by memory, but a new tcm fixes many issues on the dual clutch trans. Also there are many service bulletins for these vehicles .

[@greyfulbuxter]

Is there a way to reprogram a used one ?

[@BrianMann216]

If you get the proper one it will have the proper cal id and just need to do do the set up , tr switch, clutch end point s etc..

[@greyfulbuxter]

I bought a used TCM for my Fiesta . How ever it didn't work for my car after installing. But when I installed in a Ford focus it worked perfectly. My mechanic says that is happening because perhaps it has been programmed to work with focus and not fiesta . Is there a way to flush out programming and reprogram it for my car ?

Hello, I just got a new TCM and it blows fuse F2 (50a) every time I reconnect the battery so its impossible to even program. Any Ideas why this keeps happening? I have a junkyard and original unit as well and neither of these blows the fuse, and it doesn't blow the fuse with the new module disconnected either. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

I left my battery unhooked and it programmed itself thru the pump. NO updates but it works. Shifts good and everything. No check engine light so I saved the 130 bucks. Plus ford said they can't get the reman tcm to program but they might not know what you and know.

Did you replace the tcm wit ha new one? That will for sure need programming guaranteed. Used you may have gotten lucky.
