Is Your Chrysler Sebring or Dodge Avenger Experiencing Critical Engine Issues?
If your 2007-2008 Chrysler Sebring or 2008 Dodge Avenger is suffering from baffling problems like stalling, misfiring, 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 central computer of your vehicle, orchestrating everything from fuel injection and spark timing to transmission shifts and emissions control. When it begins to fail, it can create a cascade of performance issues that are frustrating and difficult to diagnose. Don’t let a faulty computer keep your vehicle off the road. This direct replacement ECM is the reliable, straightforward solution you need.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Dodge Avenger with the 2.7L V6 come into the shop on a tow truck. The owner was at his wit’s end. The car would crank but wouldn’t start, and he had already replaced the crank sensor, cam sensor, and fuel pump with no success. After hooking up our professional scan tool, we noticed an intermittent loss of communication with the ECM. We couldn’t get consistent data streams. After verifying the power and ground circuits to the module were solid, we condemned the original ECM. The internal processor was failing under load. We installed one of our pre-programmed units, and the car fired up on the first try and ran perfectly. This simple swap saved the customer from an expensive trip to the dealership and weeks of guesswork.
The Ultimate Plug & Play Solution for Your Vehicle
Getting your vehicle running correctly shouldn’t require a computer science degree or a trip to the dealership for expensive programming. Our core mission is to provide a solution that is both effective and incredibly simple to install. This is a true plug-and-play module. We handle all the complex programming in-house before the unit ever ships. By providing us with your vehicle’s VIN and mileage during checkout, our technicians will flash the computer with your car’s exact factory software and security information. When it arrives at your door, it is ready for immediate installation. Simply disconnect the battery, swap the modules, reconnect the battery, and start your engine. There are no additional steps, no special tools, and absolutely no dealer intervention required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this part truly plug and play?
Absolutely. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping. This process ensures that when you receive it, you can install it directly into your car without needing any further programming from a dealer or mechanic. It’s designed to be a simple, direct swap.
What information do you need from me to program it?
To ensure perfect compatibility, we require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically provide this information during the checkout process. The VIN is essential for loading the correct software and security keys for your specific vehicle.
Where is the ECM located on my 2007-2008 Chrysler Sebring?
On most 2007-2008 Sebring and 2008 Avenger models, the ECM is located in the engine bay. It is typically found mounted to the driver’s side inner fender well or near the firewall. It is a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before attempting to remove or install the ECM.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue and the light. However, the check engine light can be triggered by many other components (like a bad oxygen sensor or a loose gas cap). It is always recommended to have the codes read by a professional or with a code reader to help confirm that the ECM is the source of the problem.
Do I need to send my old ECM (core) back?
This listing will specify if a core charge or return is required. Please check the purchase details or contact our customer service. In many cases, returning the core is not necessary, but policies can vary.
