There’s nothing more stressful than a family vehicle you can’t count on. If your 2006 Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Town & Country is stalling, refusing to start, or showing a persistent check engine light, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the culprit.

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners try to save a few dollars by installing a used ECM from a salvage yard. It almost never ends well. Your minivan’s computer is the central hub that communicates with the ignition, transmission, and security systems. The VIN programming ensures all these components recognize each other and work in harmony. An unprogrammed module will, at best, not start the vehicle due to the anti-theft system, and at worst, can cause unpredictable performance issues. Our process of programming this 2006 Dodge Caravan engine computer to your specific VIN eliminates that entire headache, giving you a part that works correctly right out of the box.
