722.9 the TCM is up in the trans as part of the conductor plate, not a stand-alone component.  A whole new unit is like $900 and needs to be programmed to the car which is doable I guess with the STAR clone. or pay the stealer.  I have seen refurbs  or used supposedly paired for like $300.

I took off the transmission connector plug today and cleaned it, it was oily which made me think it was goobered up enough that the TCM was not talking to the rest of the nannies. But alas it was not to be. Was still in limp mode In a short drive after a good cleaning and clearing the codes.
