Hello, does my car have a TCM? The problem I am facing is; the gear selector light on the dash board isn't showing, hence, the car can't start, have seen video's showing replacement of the Transmission Control Module solving this, but not sure if mine has one

Hi Ken,

The fuses were my first suspect too and I replaced all of them that were burnt out and the battery is fully charged, however, still having the same issue.

Thanks for the response.
