Is Your Chrysler Sebring Running Rough? It Could Be The ECM.
If your 2007-2010 Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Avenger, or Dodge Journey is experiencing perplexing issues like a persistent check engine light, erratic engine behavior, or a complete failure to start, the root cause is often a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). As the central computer of your vehicle, the ECM is responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it begins to fail, the symptoms can be widespread and difficult to diagnose, leading to frustration and costly, ineffective repairs.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Sebring 2.4L come into the shop that was driving the owner crazy. The car would randomly stall at traffic lights, the cooling fans would run constantly even when the engine was cold, and it had a handful of seemingly unrelated communication error codes. The owner had already replaced the alternator and battery with no success. After running a full diagnostic, we traced the network communication faults back to the source: a failing internal processor in the ECM. It was sending corrupt data across the vehicle’s network, causing chaos. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and within 15 minutes, all the phantom issues were gone. It’s a classic case of the vehicle’s ‘brain’ causing body-wide problems.
