Hello,

The Transmission Control Module, TCM, is located under the center console, heater box, on top of the center tunnel. See image 1.

The TCM has a single, 45 pin black/brown, connector.

Pin out at the connector for 12V supply and ground.
Pin 16, red wire 12V from fuse F2.39 on instrument panel fuse block, see image 3.
Pin 31+32, brown wire ground.

You can check these using a voltmeter.

I hope this helps.

Cheers, Boris
