Is Your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger Running Poorly?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle you can’t rely on. If your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger with the 2.4L engine is experiencing perplexing issues like stalling, rough idling, a persistent check engine light, or even a complete failure to start, the root cause is often the very brain of your engine: the Engine Control Module (ECM). This sophisticated component manages everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it fails, it can create a cascade of problems that are often misdiagnosed, leading to wasted time and money on unnecessary repairs.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2011 Avenger towed in that had its owner at his wit’s end. He had replaced the crankshaft position sensor, camshaft sensor, and even the throttle body based on a series of confusing, intermittent codes. The car would run fine for a day, then suddenly stall at a stoplight or refuse to start in the morning. After confirming the new sensors were functioning correctly, our diagnostics pointed to the ECM itself. The internal driver circuit for the ignition coil was failing intermittently under heat. We installed a correctly programmed ECM, and the car has been running perfectly ever since. This is a classic case where treating the symptom (the codes) doesn’t fix the underlying disease (a failing ECM).
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
- ✔️ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) that won’t clear or returns with various codes.
- ✔️ Engine stalling, stumbling, or hesitating during acceleration.
- ✔️ Rough or erratic idling.
- ✔️ A complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
- ✔️ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy.
- ✔️ Poor or harsh automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔️ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
- ✔️ Unexplained electrical issues or warning lights on the dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM truly “Plug and Play”?
Yes. We program the module with the latest software updates from Chrysler and flash it with your vehicle’s unique VIN. This process ensures it integrates seamlessly with your car’s existing systems, including the anti-theft system, without any need for additional programming at a dealership.
What information do I need to provide for programming?
During the checkout process, you will be prompted to provide your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. This is all we need to program the module specifically for your car. Please double-check the VIN for accuracy to ensure a perfect match.
Where is the ECM located on a 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger?
On these models, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, mounted to the firewall or inner fender. It is a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before attempting to remove or install the module.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM, then yes, this replacement part will resolve the issue. However, it’s important to ensure that the codes are not being caused by other failing components like sensors or wiring. This module will fix problems originating from the computer itself.
What is the difference between an ECM, ECU, and PCM?
The terms are often used interchangeably. ECM (Engine Control Module) and ECU (Engine Control Unit) refer to the same part. PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is a more integrated unit that controls both the engine and the transmission. For your 2011 Chrysler 200/Avenger, this module serves as the central computer for the powertrain.
