2007-2010 Patriot Engine Computer 68043260AB | Programmed & Plug-and-Play

Restore Your Jeep’s Performance and Reliability

If you’re dealing with frustrating and unpredictable issues like stalling, a persistent check engine light, or a no-start condition in your Jeep Patriot, Compass, or Dodge Caliber, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the culprit. As the vehicle’s brain, a faulty ECM can create a cascade of problems that are difficult to diagnose. I’ve seen it countless times in my shop: perfectly good sensors and components get replaced, only for the real issue to be the computer itself. This pre-programmed 2007-2010 Patriot Engine Computer is the definitive solution, designed to get you back on the road with confidence and without the exorbitant cost and hassle of a dealership visit.

We take the guesswork and complexity out of the repair. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN and current mileage during checkout, and our technicians will flash this module specifically for your vehicle. It arrives at your door ready to install—no additional programming, no special dealer tools, just a straightforward, plug-and-play fix.

Common Signs of a Failing Engine Computer

If your vehicle is exhibiting any of these symptoms, a faulty ECM is a likely cause. Replacing your module can resolve these issues and restore proper vehicle function. Watch out for:

• ✔ Unexplained Check Engine Light (CEL) illumination
• ✔ Engine stalling, sputtering, or misfiring
• ✔ Vehicle failing to start or starting intermittently
• ✔ Poor fuel economy and reduced engine power
• ✔ Communication error codes, such as U0100
• ✔ Internal module failure codes, like P0601 or P0606
• ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting

A Straightforward Guide to Installation

Installing your replacement 2007-2010 Patriot Engine Computer is a job most DIYers can handle in their own driveway. Follow these steps for a smooth installation:

1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait at least 10 minutes to allow the system to fully discharge.
2. Locate the ECM: On the 2007-2010 Jeep Patriot, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, often on the firewall or near the battery.
3. Disconnect the Connectors: Carefully release the locking tabs on the wiring harness connectors and pull them straight out from the module. Avoid pulling on the wires themselves.
4. Remove the Old Module: Unbolt the old ECM from its mounting bracket. There are usually a few bolts holding it in place.
5. Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed ECM onto the bracket and secure it with the original bolts.
6. Reconnect and Secure: Plug the wiring harness connectors firmly into the new module until they click into place. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
7. Final Check: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position (without starting the engine) for 10-15 seconds to allow the systems to initialize. Then, start your vehicle. The check engine light may be on initially but should clear after a short drive cycle.
