Is Your Jeep Patriot Running Rough?
If your 2007-2010 Jeep Patriot, Compass, or Dodge Caliber is experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, erratic idling, 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 brain of your vehicle’s engine, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to emissions control. When it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that are difficult to diagnose and can leave you stranded. Don’t let a faulty computer keep you off the road. This direct-fit replacement ECM is the reliable, straightforward solution you need.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Jeep Patriot come into the shop with a classic intermittent no-start problem. The owner had already replaced the battery and alternator, but the issue persisted. It would start fine for a week, then suddenly refuse to turn over. Our diagnostics pointed towards a communication breakdown between modules. After checking the wiring harnesses, we suspected the ECM. We installed one of our pre-programmed units, and the Patriot fired up instantly. The customer called back a month later, thrilled that the problem was completely gone. It’s often the central computer that causes these phantom issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really “Plug & Play”?
Yes, absolutely. We program the module using the VIN you provide during checkout. This ensures it has the correct software and security information for your specific vehicle. Once you receive it, you can install it without any further programming or dealer intervention.
What information do you need from me to program it?
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 correct programming.
How do I find my original part number to confirm compatibility?
Your original part number is printed on a sticker on the housing of your current ECM. You may need to unbolt the module to see the label clearly. Comparing it to our list of compatible numbers is a great way to ensure you’re ordering the correct part.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are caused by a faulty ECM, then this replacement part will resolve the issue. However, it’s always recommended to diagnose the codes properly to ensure the ECM is the true source of the problem and not a faulty sensor or wiring issue.
Where is the ECM located on my 2008 Jeep Patriot?
On most 2007-2010 Jeep Patriots, Compasses, and Dodge Calibers, the ECM is located in the engine bay, typically mounted to the firewall or inner fender well. It is a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors.
