  3. Reconnect any loose or damaged connectors securely.

4. TCM Replacement (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the TCM, typically found near the transmission or under the dashboard.
  2. Disconnect the battery again for safety.
  3. Remove the mounting screws and disconnect the wiring harness from the TCM.
  4. Install the new TCM by connecting the wiring harness and securing it with screws.
  5. Reconnect the battery.
