In most cases, the TCM is integrated into a single housing with the PCM. Nevertheless, the section of the module which controls (automatic) transmission function may be powered up separately. In any case, the TCM is typically powered using switched (only present with the ignition switch in the ON, start, or run position) voltage.

Access to a reliable vehicle information source will yield necessary details of the TCM power circuit for the specific vehicle in question.
