Is Your Minivan Suddenly Unreliable? Get Back on the Road with Confidence.
There’s nothing more stressful than a family vehicle you can’t trust. If your 2006 Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Town & Country is experiencing frustrating issues like stalling at stoplights, refusing to start, running rough, or flashing a stubborn check engine light, the problem often points directly to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). Don’t let a faulty computer sideline your daily routine. This is the simple, direct-fit solution to restore your minivan’s performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent problems. You might be dealing with one or more of the following issues, which this replacement unit is designed to solve:
- No-Start or Hard Starting: The engine cranks but won’t fire up, or takes an excessive amount of time to start.
- Stalling and Rough Idle: The engine unexpectedly shuts off while driving or idles erratically.
- Poor Fuel Economy: A sudden and unexplained drop in your miles per gallon (MPG).
- Check Engine Light (CEL): Often with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error), P0605, or P0606.
- Transmission Shifting Problems: Harsh shifting or failure to shift into gear, as the ECM communicates with the transmission controller.
This pre-programmed 2006 Dodge Caravan engine computer is the definitive solution. It arrives ready for installation, eliminating the most complex and expensive part of the repair—the trip to the dealership for programming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module truly “Plug & Play”?
Yes, absolutely. During checkout, you will provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. We use this information to flash the module with the correct software and security information for your specific minivan. When it arrives, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the old module with this one, reconnect the battery, and you’re ready to go. No further programming is required.

If your vehicle’s problems have been correctly diagnosed as a faulty ECM, then this part is the solution.
