Is Your 2011 Chrysler 200 Running Rough?
If your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger is experiencing frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, stalling, erratic shifting, or a complete no-start condition, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a very likely culprit. The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission behavior and emissions control. When it begins to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and performance-robbing problems that can be difficult to diagnose.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Chrysler 200 with the 2.4L engine come into the shop that was giving the owner fits. The car would randomly stall at stoplights and occasionally refuse to start, but there were no consistent trouble codes—just a few random communication errors that would come and go. After verifying the integrity of the wiring harness and checking power and ground signals to the module, we identified the ECM as the intermittent point of failure. Swapping it with a pre-programmed unit like this one solved every single issue instantly. The customer was back on the road the same day without a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) that won’t clear.
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or hesitating during acceleration.
- ✔ Rough or erratic idling.
- ✔ Poor fuel economy.
- ✔ Harsh or incorrect shifting from the 6-speed automatic transmission.
- ✔ Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire.
- ✔ Loss of communication with diagnostic scan tools.
- ✔ Unexplained warning lights on the dashboard.
