Transmission Control Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 GMC Savana 3500, 2019 GMC Savana 2500, 2019 Chevrolet Express 3500, and 2019 Chevrolet Express 2500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In manual mode, the Transmission Control Module will always have final authority of when to allow an upshift or downshift. The Transmission Control Module only allows an upshift or downshift into the appropriate gear based on engine RPM, vehicle speed and other control parameters. The transmission will not automatically downshift to the next lower gear if it would cause an engine over speed condition or an upshift if it would result in too low of engine RPM.

If the Transmission Control Module prevents an upshift or downshift for any reason, a SHIFT DENIED message will be displayed on the instrument cluster.
