Description

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) acts as the brain of the dual clutch transmission (DCT). It receives information from various sensors for a wide range of transmission controls to provide optimal driving conditions for the driver. The TCM is programmed for optimal operation under all driving conditions. If the TCM malfunctions, it stores the fault information in memory and provides the error information to the technician for quick and accurate repair.
