Is Your 2013 Minivan Experiencing Frustrating Engine Problems?
If your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan or Chrysler Town & Country is suffering from issues like stalling, rough idling, a persistent check engine light, or even a complete failure to start, a faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) is a very likely culprit. The ECM is the central computer, the brain of your vehicle’s engine management system. It controls everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions. When it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and debilitating symptoms that can leave you stranded.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2013 Town & Country in the shop that was driving its owner crazy. The van would run perfectly for days, then suddenly stall at a stoplight and refuse to restart for 10-15 minutes. No consistent codes were being stored, just a generic U-code for lost communication every so often. After checking all the usual suspects—power, ground, and the CAN bus network—we focused on the ECM. By monitoring live data, we noticed the 5-volt reference signal to the sensors would drop out right before a stall. Swapping in a pre-programmed ECM like this one solved the problem instantly. It was a classic case of internal ECM failure that only showed up when the unit got hot.
