Is Your 2015 Chrysler, Dodge, or Challenger Running Rough?
If you’re experiencing frustrating and unpredictable issues with your 2015 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, or Dodge Challenger equipped with the 3.6L engine, the root cause might be the very brain of your vehicle: the Engine Control Module (ECM). As the central command center, a failing ECM can create a cascade of problems that are often misdiagnosed, leading to wasted time and money on unnecessary repairs. This replacement Engine Control Module, part number 68230333, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance, reliability, and drivability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I once had a 2015 Charger 3.6L in the shop that was driving the owner crazy. It would randomly stall at red lights and occasionally refuse to start, but it never stored a consistent trouble code. The owner had already replaced the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors, and even the throttle body, with no luck. When we got it, we checked the basics: power and ground signals to the ECM. We found a fluctuating ground connection that would only fail when the engine bay was hot. The internal circuits of the original ECM had been damaged from the intermittent connection. Installing a correctly programmed replacement ECM and fixing the faulty ground wire solved the problem completely. It’s a classic reminder that while sensors fail, the computer processing their data is just as critical.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
A faulty engine computer can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following signs, it’s a strong indicator that your ECM may need replacement:
- âś” Check Engine Light: The light is on, and you may have codes related to sensor circuits, module communication, or processor faults (e.g., P0606).
- âś” Engine Stalling or Misfiring: Your vehicle may stall unexpectedly while driving or at idle, and you might feel random stumbles or misfires.
- âś” No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, even with a good battery and fuel supply.
- âś” Poor Fuel Economy: A sudden and unexplained drop in your vehicle’s gas mileage can be caused by the ECM failing to manage the fuel mixture correctly.
- âś” Inconsistent Performance: You might experience hesitation during acceleration, rough idling, or a general lack of power.
- âś” Communication Errors: Your mechanic’s diagnostic scan tool may be unable to communicate with the engine computer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this part truly “Plug and Play”?
Yes. We program the module with your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage before shipping. This ensures it communicates correctly with the other modules in your car (like the transmission and anti-theft system) right out of the box. No further programming or dealer visit is required.
What information do you need from me to program it?
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), on the driver’s door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Where is the ECM located on my 2015 Chrysler 300 / Charger / Challenger?
On these specific models with the 3.6L engine, the Engine Control Module is typically located in the engine compartment. Look on the passenger side, near the shock tower or firewall. It is a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors.
How can I be sure the ECM is my problem and not a sensor?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators of ECM failure, a full diagnosis is always best. This often involves checking for specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to the processor, checking for power and ground at the ECM connector, and verifying sensor signals. If multiple unrelated sensor codes appear at once, it often points to the ECM itself.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The ECM works directly with the Transmission Control Module (TCM) to ensure smooth shifting. If the ECM is sending incorrect data about engine speed or load, it can cause poor shifting, hesitation, or incorrect gear selection. Replacing a faulty ECM often resolves these related transmission issues.
