Restore Peak Performance to Your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200
Is your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200 suffering from baffling electrical issues, a persistent Check Engine Light, or poor engine performance? The Engine Control Module (ECM), the central computer of your vehicle, is often the root cause of these frustrating problems. When the ECM begins to fail, it can lead to a cascade of issues that can be difficult to diagnose. This direct-fit replacement Engine Control Module, corresponding to part number 68057015AH and its alternatives, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle running reliably again.
We take the guesswork and complexity out of the repair process. Unlike a generic part from a local store or salvage yard, each module we provide is meticulously programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage. This critical step ensures that the computer has the correct software and security information, making the installation a true Plug-and-Play experience. You won’t need to pay for expensive dealership programming or specialized tools. Simply install the unit, and you’re ready to drive.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Avenger come into the shop with a complaint of intermittent stalling and a check engine light for a throttle position sensor circuit. The customer had already replaced the throttle body twice with no success. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner, we noticed the 5-volt reference signal to the sensor was dropping out randomly. Instead of just replacing more parts, we traced the wiring back to the ECM. We found that the ECM’s internal driver for that circuit was failing under heat. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the problem was solved instantly. It’s a classic case where the symptoms point to one part, but the real culprit is the computer managing it.
Is Your 2011 Avenger ECM Failing?
A faulty engine computer can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking the failure of other components. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it’s a strong indication that your 2011 Avenger ECM may need replacement.
- ✔ Check Engine Light: The most common sign, often with communication error codes (U-codes) or multiple, seemingly unrelated sensor codes (P-codes).
- ✔ No-Start or Hard Starting: The engine cranks but refuses to start, or takes an unusually long time to fire up, especially when warm.
- ✔ Engine Stalling: The engine may stall unexpectedly while driving or when coming to a stop.
- ✔ Poor Fuel Economy: A sudden and unexplained drop in your vehicle’s MPG can be caused by the ECM failing to manage the fuel mixture correctly.
- ✔ Erratic Shifting: Since the ECM communicates directly with the transmission controller, a failing module can cause harsh shifts, delayed engagement, or getting stuck in gear.
- ✔ Engine Misfires or Rough Idle: The computer may fail to properly control ignition timing or fuel injectors, leading to a shaky idle and poor acceleration.
- ✔ Loss of Spark or Injector Pulse: In severe cases, the ECM may fail to send the signal to fire the spark plugs or fuel injectors.
The Plug-and-Play Advantage
Replacing an ECM has historically been a job reserved for dealerships due to the complex programming required. Our service eliminates that barrier. By programming the module to your VIN before it ships, we handle the most difficult part of the job. This ensures that all vehicle-specific options and security protocols, like the anti-theft system, are correctly configured. When you receive your part, the installation is straightforward:
- Disconnect the Battery: Always start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for safety.
- Locate and Remove the Old ECM: On the 2011 Avenger and 200, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, often near the firewall or inner fender.
- Install the New ECM: Unplug the wiring harnesses from the old unit and connect them to your new, pre-programmed module. Bolt it into place.
- Reconnect the Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
That’s it. No additional programming or calibration is needed. This process saves you time, money, and the hassle of arranging a tow to a service center. This is the ideal solution for both seasoned DIY mechanics and first-time installers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this part really “Plug & Play”?
Yes. We program the module with the specific VIN and mileage you provide during checkout. This process ensures the computer is fully synchronized with your vehicle’s existing systems, including the anti-theft immobilizer. No further programming is required.
Where is the ECM located on a 2011 Dodge Avenger?
On the 2011 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200, the Engine Control Module is typically located in the engine compartment. Look for it mounted to the firewall on the driver’s side or on the inner fender well. It will be a metal box with several large electrical connectors.
What happens if I install this without it being programmed?
An unprogrammed ECM will not work. The vehicle’s security system will prevent the engine from starting, and you will likely see a security light on the dashboard. Our pre-programming service is essential for a successful installation.
Will this fix my specific Check Engine Light codes?
This module will fix codes that are caused by a faulty ECM itself (like internal processor faults, communication errors, or failed sensor driver circuits). However, it will not fix problems caused by faulty external sensors or wiring. It is always best to properly diagnose the codes before ordering.
Do I need to return my old ECM?
Please check the specific terms of the sale on the product page. Some purchases may require a core return to receive a credit back, which helps keep costs down and encourages recycling of old parts.
