From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2012 Dodge 1500 4.7L towed into the shop. The owner was at his wit’s end. The truck would start fine some days, and on others, it wouldn’t crank at all. When it did run, it would occasionally stall at red lights. He had already replaced the battery and alternator with no luck. After connecting our scanner, we pulled a P0606 code (ECM Processor Fault). This pointed directly to an internal failure of the engine computer. Instead of a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealer, we ordered a pre-programmed unit just like this one. The installation took less than 30 minutes. The truck fired up instantly, idled smoothly, and all the fault codes were gone. It’s a straightforward fix that solves a very complex-seeming problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really “Plug and Play”?
Yes, absolutely. We program the module with your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage before it ships. This ensures that it communicates perfectly with your truck’s other systems, like the ignition and anti-theft (SKIM) system, right out of the box. No further programming is needed.
How do I provide my VIN and mileage?
After you place your order, you will be prompted to provide your vehicle’s information. It’s a simple step in the checkout process. We cannot ship the part until we have this information to program it correctly.
Where is the ECM located on my 2012 Dodge 1500?
On the 2012 Dodge 1500, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, mounted to the firewall on the passenger side. It will have several large electrical connectors attached to it. 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 (common codes include P0600-P0606), then this replacement part will solve the issue. After installation, the light should go out on its own after a few drive cycles. We always recommend clearing any codes with a scanner after installation for immediate results.
Do I need to return my old ECM?
This listing does not require a core return. You can keep your old part or dispose of it responsibly. This saves you the hassle and cost of shipping your old, non-functional module back.
