Transmission Control Module

I have an 05 Chevy Suburban and I am trying to figure out where my transmission Control Module is located. I am thinking mine is possibly bad but I can't find it. Thanks

Before condemning the transmission, I would check the shift cable for proper operation. Look at the side of the transmission where the shift cable attaches. Have someone shift the transmission from PARK to FIRST. The engine should not be running. If the operating lever on the transmission moves, then you probably do have an internal transmission problem.

If the operating lever does not move, you have a broken shift cable or it has popped of it's attachments at the operating lever or gear shift handle.

A bad Transmission Control Module (TCM) would not keep it from shifting. In the event of a bad TCM, the transmission would go into fail safe mode and you could continue driving the vehicle.
