Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM & Your Direct Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other sensor or component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty module is a likely culprit:
- Check Engine Light (CEL) Illumination: Often with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U0100 or internal processor codes (P0600-P0606).
- No-Start or Hard-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, or starts only after extended cranking.
- Poor Engine Performance: Noticeable loss of power, hesitation during acceleration, and rough idling.
- Reduced Fuel Economy: The engine is no longer operating at peak efficiency, leading to more frequent stops at the pump.
- Transmission Shifting Issues: The ECM plays a crucial role in communicating with the transmission controller, and a fault can lead to harsh or erratic shifting in your 6-speed automatic.
This replacement 2012 Dodge Avenger ECM is the definitive fix for these issues. By replacing the faulty unit with this pre-programmed module, you restore the critical communication and control systems your vehicle relies on for smooth, efficient operation.

Expert Insight: The Importance of VIN Programming
As a technician, I’ve seen countless DIY repairs go wrong when a non-programmed computer is installed. On modern vehicles like your Avenger, the ECM is the central hub that communicates with the anti-theft system (immobilizer), transmission, and other key modules. Our VIN-specific programming ensures that all these systems recognize the new ECM instantly. This “digital handshake” is essential for the vehicle to start and run correctly. By handling this critical step for you, we eliminate the biggest headache and potential failure point of the repair, turning a complex job into a simple component swap.
Don’t let a bad computer keep your car off the road. This 2012 Dodge Avenger ECM is the most reliable and straightforward way to solve your vehicle’s electronic woes. By providing a fully tested and correctly programmed unit, we empower you to complete the repair correctly the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really “Plug & Play”?
Yes. We program the unit with the specific VIN and mileage you provide. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s other systems, like the ignition and anti-theft, right out of the box. No further programming or flashing is needed.
How do I provide my VIN and mileage?
After you place your order, we will contact you for your vehicle’s information. It’s a simple process to ensure we program the module perfectly for your car.
Will this fit my 2012 Chrysler 200?
Yes, this ECM is compatible with the 2012 Chrysler 200 equipped with the 2.4L engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, in addition to the 2012 Dodge Avenger with the same configuration.
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 computer that manages the engine. PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is a term for a module that controls both the engine and the transmission. For this vehicle, the functions are integrated into this single unit.
Do I need to perform a ‘relearn’ procedure after installation?
In most cases, no extensive relearn procedure is required. The vehicle may take a short drive cycle (a few miles of mixed city/highway driving) to fine-tune its idle and shift points, but it will start and run immediately upon installation.
How can I be sure this will fix my car’s problem?
While this module will correct any issues directly caused by a failing ECM, we always recommend a thorough diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to rule out other potential causes like faulty wiring or sensors. This part is the solution for confirmed ECM failures.
