Is Your 2011 Chrysler 200 Running Rough?
If you’re dealing with frustrating issues like stalling, erratic shifting, a persistent check engine light, or a complete no-start condition in your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger, the root cause is often a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions. When it fails, it can create a cascade of problems that are difficult to diagnose and can leave you stranded.
Don’t let a faulty computer keep your car off the road. This is a direct-fit replacement engine computer for your vehicle, arriving fully programmed to your specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and mileage. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming or complex flashing procedures. It’s a true Plug & Play solution designed to get you back behind the wheel quickly and affordably.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Chrysler 200 towed in that was a real head-scratcher. The owner said it would randomly stall at stoplights and sometimes wouldn’t start at all, but there were no consistent trouble codes. We checked the fuel pump, sensors, and wiring, but everything looked fine. On a hunch, we monitored the data stream from the ECM and noticed the 5-volt reference signal to several key sensors would momentarily drop out. This pointed directly to an internal failure in the ECM. After installing a pre-programmed module just like this one, the car started instantly and ran perfectly. The intermittent electrical ghosts were gone, and the customer was thrilled to have their reliable car back without the high cost of a dealership repair.

On the 2011 Chrysler 200, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, mounted to the firewall or inner fender well. It is a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors. Always disconnect the battery before attempting to remove or install it.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM, this replacement part will resolve the issue. However, it’s crucial to ensure that the underlying problem isn’t with a sensor or other component that the ECM is monitoring. We recommend having the codes professionally diagnosed before ordering.
