An Expert’s Tip: Check Your Grounds First!
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers suspect a bad ECM when the real issue was much simpler. Before replacing your 2012 Chrysler 200 engine computer, take 15 minutes to check and clean your vehicle’s main battery and engine ground connections. A loose or corroded ground can cause bizarre electrical symptoms that mimic a failed computer, from communication errors to no-start conditions. Ensuring these connections are tight and clean is a crucial first step that can save you time and money. If the problems persist after checking your grounds, then you can be confident the ECM is the root cause.
