Is Your 2011 Avenger or 200 Plagued with Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re experiencing frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, erratic engine behavior, harsh shifting, or even a no-start condition, the root cause might not be a faulty sensor or spark plug. It’s often the vehicle’s main brain: the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shift points. When it fails, it can create a cascade of problems that are difficult to diagnose. This replacement engine computer is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance, reliability, and drivability.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Engine Computer
- âś” Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) that won’t clear, often with communication-related fault codes (U-codes).
- âś” Engine performance issues, such as stalling, stumbling, or rough idling.
- âś” A noticeable decrease in fuel economy for no apparent reason.
- âś” The automatic transmission shifts harshly, gets stuck in gear, or shifts at the wrong times.
- âś” The vehicle cranks but refuses to start, even with a good battery and starter.
- âś” Intermittent issues with other electronic systems that seem unrelated.
The Simple, No-Hassle Solution: A Pre-Programmed 2011 Avenger ECM
Forget expensive dealership visits, towing fees, and the headache of programming a new module. This unit is professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This critical step ensures that the ECM communicates perfectly with your car’s anti-theft system (immobilizer), transmission, and all other onboard modules. It arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation. Simply disconnect the battery, swap the modules, reconnect the battery, and you’re ready to drive. This is the most efficient and cost-effective way to get your 2011 Avenger ECM replaced and your car back in top condition.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Chrysler 200 come into the shop with a complaint of harsh shifting and an intermittent no-start. The owner had already replaced the crankshaft position sensor and the throttle body based on advice from a forum, but the problem persisted. After hooking up our professional scan tool, we noticed communication errors with the TCM (Transmission Control Module) that didn’t make sense. Instead of chasing ghosts, we went straight to the source: the ECM. A failing ECM can send corrupt data, making other good modules appear faulty. We installed one of our pre-programmed units, and within 20 minutes, the car started perfectly and shifted as smoothly as it did from the factory. It saved the customer from buying a transmission they didn’t need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really “Plug and Play”?
Yes. We program the module with your vehicle’s VIN and latest software updates before shipping. This means it will work with your existing keys and security system without any additional programming required from a dealer or locksmith.
Do I need to provide my VIN when I order?
Absolutely. Providing your VIN is a mandatory step in the checkout process. This is how we ensure the computer is programmed correctly for your specific vehicle configuration, guaranteeing a seamless installation.
What if my original part number isn’t on your list?
Please contact us with your VIN and original part number. The list provided covers the most common numbers, but there may be others. Our team can verify compatibility for you to ensure you receive the correct part.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The ECM plays a vital role in controlling transmission behavior. If the ECM is faulty, it can cause poor shifting, even if the transmission itself is mechanically sound. This part often resolves such electronic-based transmission issues.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. You will typically only need a socket set to remove the bolts holding the module and to disconnect the negative battery terminal. Always disconnect the battery before starting any work.
