Is Your Jeep or Dodge Stalling, Running Rough, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re dealing with a 2007-2010 Jeep Compass, Patriot, or Dodge Caliber that’s suddenly developed a mind of its own, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a very likely culprit. In my 20+ years as a diagnostic technician, I’ve seen these exact symptoms hundreds of times: the engine cranks but won’t start, it stalls unexpectedly at a stoplight, the check engine light is on with a flood of confusing codes, or the transmission shifts erratically. Itโs a frustrating and potentially unsafe situation, leaving you stranded and facing a costly trip to the dealership for diagnostics and programming.
You don’t have to deal with the dealership hassle or their high prices. This is the direct, reliable solution you’ve been looking for. This Engine Control Module is a fully programmed, plug-and-play replacement that gets your vehicle back to factory-spec operation without any additional work required on your end.
Expert Pro Tip: Check the TIPM First!
Before you condemn your ECM, take 5 minutes to check the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), which is the main fuse box under the hood. On these Compass, Patriot, and Caliber models, a faulty fuel pump relay or starter relay inside the TIPM can perfectly mimic a dead ECM, causing a crank-no-start condition. I’ve seen customers spend hundreds on a new computer when the real issue was a simple relay. Verify that the fuel pump is priming when you turn the key. If you don’t hear it, the TIPM is a more likely suspect. This quick check can save you time and money.

Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Installing your new engine computer is a straightforward job that most DIYers can complete in under an hour with basic hand tools. Follow these simple steps to get your vehicle running again:
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and secure it away from the post to prevent accidental contact.
- Locate the ECM: On most 2007-2010 Compass, Patriot, and Caliber models, the ECM is located in the engine bay, typically mounted to the firewall or on one of the inner fenders. It’s a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be released first. Once disconnected, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed ECM into place. Firmly reconnect the electrical connectors, ensuring they click and lock securely. A clean, tight connection is critical.
- Reconnect and Start: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start. The initial startup may take a few extra cranks as the fuel system re-pressurizes, which is completely normal.
