Restore Peak Performance to Your 5.7L HEMI
Is your 2009 Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, or Dodge Ram 1500 running rough, stalling, or showing a persistent check engine light? The Engine Control Module (ECM), the electronic brain of your vehicle, is often the root cause of these frustrating and complex issues. A failing ECM can disrupt everything from fuel economy and transmission shifting to basic engine start-up. This replacement Engine Control Module, part number 68059431AA, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle running reliably again.
We take the guesswork and high cost out of the repair process. Unlike a generic module from a parts store or a salvage yard, this unit arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage. This means there is no need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It’s a true plug-and-play solution designed for the DIY mechanic and professional alike. Simply disconnect the battery, swap the modules, reconnect the battery, and you’re ready to drive.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7L HEMI towed in with a no-start condition. The owner had already replaced the crank sensor, cam sensor, and even the fuel pump based on various forum suggestions. The engine would crank but never fire. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner, we noticed erratic data from multiple sensors and communication errors with the transmission module. This pointed away from a single bad part and towards a central processing failure. We tested the power and ground circuits to the ECM, which were solid. The culprit was an internally shorted ECM. By installing a pre-programmed 2009 Durango Engine Computer, the truck fired up on the first try and all communication errors vanished, saving the customer from further expensive and unnecessary parts swapping.
Symptoms of a Failing 2009 Durango Engine Computer
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, a faulty ECM could be to blame. Look for these common warning signs:
- ✔ Persistent and illuminated Check Engine Light (CEL)
- ✔ Engine stalling or shutting off while driving
- ✔ Rough idling or misfires
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting
- ✔ Vehicle won’t start, but the battery and starter are good
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools
- ✔ Issues with electronic throttle control
The Plug-and-Play Advantage
The most significant benefit of this module is the professional programming service included with your purchase. When you place your order, you provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians then flash the module with the correct software and immobilizer data for your exact vehicle. This critical step ensures that all components, from the ignition system to the transmission, communicate correctly with the new ECM. This is the same procedure a dealership would perform, but completed before the part ever ships, saving you time, towing fees, and labor costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this engine computer truly plug-and-play?
Yes. We program the module using your vehicle’s VIN before shipping. This ensures it works with your existing keys and security system right out of the box. No additional programming or dealer visit is required for installation.
What information do I need to provide when ordering?
To ensure proper programming, we require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration or insurance card.
How do I find my original part number to confirm compatibility?
Your original part number is printed on a sticker directly on your current engine computer. You may need to unbolt the module or move wiring harnesses to see it clearly. Matching your number to our compatible list ensures a perfect fit.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. However, it’s crucial to ensure the underlying cause is the ECM and not a separate sensor or mechanical issue. We recommend a full diagnostic scan before ordering to confirm the diagnosis.
Do I need to perform a ‘relearn’ procedure after installation?
In most cases, no specific relearn procedure is needed. After installation, the vehicle may take a few drive cycles (a mix of city and highway driving) to fully adapt to the new module and optimize performance and shifting. This is a normal, automatic process.
