That code in every refrence I have available which is most of them is a Trans Control system Malfucntion. Basically it is saying there is a problem with the transmission controller. However on a 1996 tahoe the controller is intragal to the pcm however it is on a seperate board inside the case. I would say to look at the PCM cases and see if it has split in half at the seem. Very common problem with that pcm in Vans.
