Thanks. What is the inner plenum? I thought it was on the passenger side on the floor. Is this correct?

Thanks. I was reading a forum discussion, and one of the mechanics said you can get to the TCM through the glove compartment? Any thoughts?

Hi,

I don't believe that is possible. Take a look at the attached pic. The TCM is above the glove box and isolated.

Please keep in mind, one this is removed, it will need to relearn the adaptation values. Separating the connector automatically resets the adaptation values of the transmission. The control module must relearn the values once the transmission is operational again. The quality of the gear changes may deteriorate during the "learning" process.

Let us know.

Joe
