Is Your 2015 Chrysler, Dodge, or Charger Running Rough?
The Engine Control Module (ECM), also known as the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), is the central computer of your vehicle. For your 2015 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, or Dodge Challenger with the 3.6L Pentastar engine, this module is the key to optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control. When it begins to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and frustrating problems that can be difficult to diagnose. From a persistent Check Engine Light to intermittent stalling or a complete no-start condition, a faulty ECM can bring your daily drive to a halt.
This replacement Engine Control Module is the definitive solution to get your vehicle back on the road with confidence. We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair process. Unlike a generic part from a local store, this unit comes pre-programmed specifically to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage. This means there is no need for expensive trips to the dealership for flashing or programming. It’s a true plug-and-play solution designed for a straightforward installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Dodge Charger 3.6L come into the shop with a very peculiar issue. The owner complained of erratic shifting and occasional limp mode, but the transmission codes were all over the place and made no sense. He had already spent a small fortune at a transmission shop that couldn’t find anything mechanically wrong. After checking all the wiring and connectors between the transmission and the main computer, we decided to inspect the ECM. We noticed that the module was intermittently failing to communicate correctly with the Transmission Control Module (TCM). The fault wasn’t in the transmission at all; it was a failing processor in the engine computer. We installed one of our pre-programmed ECMs, and the car drove perfectly. It’s a classic example of how a faulty 2015 Chrysler 300 ECM can manifest as a problem in a completely different system.
