Can I drive my car with a faulty TCM?

It's not recommended to drive your car with a faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM). A malfunctioning TCM can cause various transmission-related issues, such as erratic shifting, transmission slipping, or being stuck in a particular gear. Continuing to drive your vehicle with these issues can lead to further damage to the transmission and other critical components.

Driving with a faulty TCM may also compromise your safety and the safety of others on the road, as it can result in unpredictable vehicle behavior and reduced control.

If you suspect that your TCM is faulty, it's best to have it inspected and repaired as soon as possible to avoid costly repairs and potential safety hazards. UpFix offers professional TCM repair services that can save you up to 80% compared to purchasing a new module. Send your TCM to UpFix for repair and ensure the smooth and reliable operation of your vehicle's transmission. Checkout our TCM repair page.
