Hyundai Genesis: Automatic Transmission Control System / Transmission Control Module (TCM) Description and Operation
Transmission Control Module (TCM) plays a role of the brain
for the automatic transmission. The module receives and processes
signals from various sensors and implements a wide range of Transmission
controls to ensure optimal driving conditions for the driver.
TCM is programmed for optimal response to any on-road
situation. In the event of a transmission failure or malfunction, TCM
stores the fault information in memory so that the technician can refer
to the code and quickly repair the transmission.
