Is Your 2009-2010 Jeep Commander or Grand Cherokee Running Rough?
If you’re experiencing frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, erratic engine behavior, stalling, or a complete no-start condition, the root cause might be a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to emissions control and transmission shifting. When it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that are often difficult to diagnose. This replacement ECM, part number 68028176, is the definitive solution to restore your Jeep’s performance and reliability.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your Jeep 3.7L
Forget about expensive dealership visits, towing fees, and the hassle of programming a new module. We’ve simplified the repair process. This module arrives at your doorstep fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage. This means the installation is a true plug-and-play experience. Simply disconnect the old module, connect this one, and you’re back on the road. No special tools, no additional programming, and no headaches.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Grand Cherokee 3.7L towed in that had every symptom of a bad fuel pump. It would crank but not start, and the owner had already replaced the pump himself with no luck. After checking for fuel pressure and spark, we noticed the injector pulse was completely absent. We connected our diagnostic scanner and couldn’t communicate with the engine computer at all. After verifying the power and ground connections to the ECM were solid, we knew we had a failed module. We ordered one of these pre-programmed units, installed it in under 15 minutes right in the parking lot, and the Jeep fired up on the first try. It saved the customer a huge diagnostic bill and the cost of a tow to the dealer.
Diagnosing Your 2009-2010 Commander ECM
A failing engine computer can mimic many other vehicle problems, making it tricky to pinpoint. However, there are several common indicators that point directly to the ECM. If your Jeep is exhibiting a combination of these symptoms, it’s highly likely that the engine computer is the culprit. This unit is the correct replacement for your 2009-2010 Commander ECM and will resolve these complex electronic issues.
Symptoms of a Failing Engine Control Module
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with communication error codes (like U-codes) or multiple unrelated sensor codes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really plug and play?
Absolutely. We program the module using the VIN you provide during checkout. This ensures that it has the correct software and security information for your specific vehicle. Once you receive it, you just need to install it, and it will function immediately without any further programming.
Where is the ECM located on my 2009 Jeep?
On the 2009-2010 Jeep Commander, the ECM is located in the engine compartment on the right-hand (passenger) side. For the 2009-2010 Grand Cherokee, it is found in the right-hand rear of the engine compartment. Always disconnect the battery before attempting to replace the module.
What information do you need to program the module?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your vehicle’s dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal fault within the original ECM, then yes, this replacement will resolve the issue and the light. However, if the light is on because of a separate faulty sensor or component on the vehicle, that issue will need to be addressed separately.
Does this part fit the Grand Cherokee as well?
Yes, this engine control module is the correct fit for both the 2009-2010 Jeep Commander and the 2009-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, as long as the vehicle is equipped with the 3.7L engine.
