Q: Car doesn't crank after Tcm swap
Hello so the Transmission control module was swapped in my can and now I am unable to start it. It doesn't crank at all. As soon as I hook up the battery the alarm goes off and I get a service stabilitrak. I have done some reading and see that the 2010 terrain is part of GM global a architecture and swapping a tcm from another vehicle is not supported and will result in a no start no crank condition. I think this is my issue, my question is how do I fix it?
