The TCM is integrated into the power-train control module (PCM). Here is the official description: Electronic System Description:
The Power-train Control Module (PCM) and its input/output network control the following transmission operations:
shift timing.
Line pressure (shift feel).
Torque converter clutch.
The transmission control strategy combined with the engine control provides optimum power-train operation under all conditions. When determining the best operating strategy for transmission operation, the PCM uses input information from certain engine-related and driver-demand related sensors and switches.
In addition, the PCM receives input signals from certain transmission-related sensors and switches. The PCM also uses these signals when determining transmission operating strategy.
Using all of these input signals, the PCM can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or when to apply or release the torque converter clutch. It will also determine the pressure needed to optimize shift feel. To accomplish this the PCM uses three pressure control, one torque converter clutch, and four shift solenoids to control transmission operation.
The following provides a brief description of each of the sensors and actuators used to control transmission operation.
Power-train Control Module (PCM)
The operation of the transmission is controlled by the Power-train Control Module (PCM). Many input sensors provide information to the PCM. The PCM then controls the actuators which determine transmission operation.
