Is Your 2015 Chrysler, Dodge, or Charger Running Rough?
If your 2015 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, or Dodge Charger with the 3.6L V6 engine is experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, erratic shifting, a persistent check engine light, or a complete no-start condition, the root cause is often a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the brain of your vehicle, controlling everything from fuel mixture and ignition timing to transmission shift points. When it begins to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that are difficult to diagnose and can leave you stranded. Don’t let a faulty computer dictate your vehicle’s reliability. This is the direct, hassle-free solution to get your car back to factory-spec performance.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Dodge Charger 3.6L come into the shop with a complaint of intermittent stalling at stoplights and a check engine light that would come and go. The owner had already replaced the spark plugs and a coil pack with no success. Our scan tool pulled codes P0606 (Internal Control Module Processor Error) and U0100 (Lost Communication With ECM/PCM). After verifying the power and ground circuits to the module were solid, we knew we were dealing with an internal failure of the ECM. Instead of sending the customer to the dealership for a costly replacement and programming, we installed one of our pre-programmed units. The entire job took less than 30 minutes. The car started immediately, the codes were gone, and the stalling issue was completely resolved. The customer was back on the road the same day, saving significant time and money.
Symptoms of a Failing Engine Computer
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related codes (U-codes) or internal processor fault codes (P06xx).
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or hesitating unexpectedly.
- ✔ No-start or hard-starting conditions, even with a good battery and starter.
- ✔ Poor fuel economy and reduced engine power.
- ✔ Automatic transmission shifting erratically or harshly.
- ✔ Seeming failure of multiple sensors at once.
- ✔ The cooling fans run constantly or not at all.
The Perfect Solution: A Programmed 2015 300 Engine Computer
Finding a replacement ECM for these vehicles isn’t as simple as swapping a part from a salvage yard. The factory anti-theft system (SKIM) is tied directly to the ECM, and an un-programmed module will not allow the vehicle to start. This is where our service provides immense value. We take a fully tested, genuine OEM module and program it specifically to your car using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage you provide. This critical step ensures that when you receive the part, it is a true Plug & Play solution. There is no need for expensive dealership visits, specialized scan tools, or additional programming fees. You simply disconnect the battery, swap the modules, reconnect the battery, and start your car. It’s the most efficient and cost-effective way to solve your ECM problems and restore your vehicle’s performance and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this engine computer truly Plug and Play?
Yes, absolutely. We program the module with your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage before shipping. This process syncs the computer to your car’s immobilizer and other systems, eliminating the need for any additional programming. Just install it, and you’re ready to go.
What information do you need from me to program it?
During the checkout process, we will require your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and the current mileage. This ensures a perfect software match for your car’s options and features.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM (indicated by codes like P0601, P0606, or communication errors), then this replacement module will resolve the issue. However, if the light is on for other reasons, such as a bad sensor or a mechanical problem, those issues will need to be addressed separately.
Where is the ECM located on my 2015 Chrysler 300?
On the 2015 Chrysler 300 and its Dodge counterparts, the ECM (often called a PCM on these models) is typically located in the engine bay, on the passenger side, near the firewall or shock tower. It is a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors.
What is the difference between an ECM, ECU, and PCM?
The terms are often used interchangeably. ECM (Engine Control Module) and ECU (Engine Control Unit) refer to the computer that controls the engine. PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is a more inclusive term for a module that controls both the engine and the automatic transmission. For this vehicle, the part functions as a PCM, but it is commonly searched for as an ECM.
