A transmission control unit ( TCU ), also known as a transmission control module ( TCM ), or a gearbox control unit ( GCU ), is a type of automotive ECU that is used to control electronic automatic transmissions. Similar systems are used in conjunction with various semi-automatic transmissions, purely for clutch automation and actuation.
