Is Your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger Running Rough?
Dealing with persistent engine problems can be incredibly frustrating. If your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger is suffering from issues like erratic idling, stalling, poor acceleration, or a stubborn check engine light that won’t go away, the root cause might be a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the brain of your vehicle’s engine, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and seemingly unrelated symptoms, making diagnosis a real challenge.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I once had a 2011 Avenger in the shop that was driving its owner crazy. The car would randomly stall at red lights and had a persistent P0606 code (ECM Processor Fault). The owner had already replaced the crankshaft and camshaft sensors, thinking they were the issue. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner, we noticed the live data stream from the ECM was erratic, dropping out intermittently. This confirmed our suspicion: the sensors were fine, but the computer processing their signals was not. We installed a correctly programmed ECM, and the car ran perfectly. It’s a classic case where chasing symptoms instead of the root cause can cost you time and money.

Don’t let a faulty computer keep your car off the road. This Engine Control Module is the reliable, straightforward solution for your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger equipped with the 2.4L engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair process. Unlike a generic module from a parts store or a junkyard unit, this ECM arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and mileage. This means it’s a true plug-and-play part. There’s no need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming or a complicated flashing procedure. Simply install the module, connect the battery, and your car’s brain will be fully restored.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Engine Computer
- ✔ Check Engine Light: An illuminated Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related codes (U-codes) or internal processor fault codes (P06xx codes) is a major red flag.
- ✔ Engine Stalling or Misfiring: The engine may stall unexpectedly, either while driving or at idle, or you may experience random misfires.
- ✔ Poor Performance & Fuel Economy: A noticeable drop in power, sluggish acceleration, and a sudden decrease in gas mileage can all point to a faulty ECM.
- ✔ No-Start Condition: In severe cases, the ECM can fail completely, preventing the engine from starting at all, even though the battery and starter are good.
- ✔ Harsh or Erratic Shifting: The ECM works with the transmission control module. A failing unit can cause delayed, hard, or incorrect gear shifts.
- ✔ Communication Issues: Your mechanic’s diagnostic scan tool may be unable to communicate with the ECM, making it impossible to pull codes or read data.
