Question TCM location on a 98 Chevrolet Suburban 1500

I have a 1998 Chevy Suburban 1500 that is 2WD. Does anybody know where to locate the Transmission Control Module on a truck like mine? I have been told there isn't one. Then told that it is in the PCM. Does anybody know the exact location of the TCM?

The manual for your vehicle is here:

I have a 1996 C1500, with the 4L60E transmission, and do not believe there is a separate Transmission Control Module on the GMT400 platform, which includes your 1998 Suburban 1500. If you look at the electronic component diagram, here, you won't see one called out:

That said, while I've driven and worked on a GMT400 for decades, I don't know everything, and someone else more educated than me may come along with better information... in the meantime, the online manual is your best resource to dig through. I can say that my Haynes book for the 1988-1998 GM trucks does not mention a transmission control module.
