2008-2010 Caravan Engine Computer 68031313AD Programmed to Your VIN

Restore Your Minivan’s Performance and Reliability

Is your 2008-2010 Dodge Caravan, Town & Country, or 2008 Pacifica suddenly stalling, refusing to start, or running erratically? Before you suspect a major mechanical failure, the issue often lies with the vehicle’s electronic brain: the Engine Control Module (ECM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless owners chase expensive and unnecessary repairs when the core problem was a faulty computer. This replacement ECM is the direct, effective solution to get your family’s vehicle back on the road with confidence.

The biggest hurdle with ECM replacement has always been the costly and inconvenient trip to the dealership for programming. We eliminate that step completely. We flash this module with your vehicle’s specific VIN and current mileage before it even ships. When it arrives, it’s a true plug-and-play part. This means no special scan tools, no software subscriptions, and no towing bills. You or your trusted mechanic can perform the swap right in your driveway, saving you significant time and money.

Is Your Minivan Showing These Red Flags?

A failing ECM can cause a wide range of confusing symptoms. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:

• ✔ Unexplained stalling or engine shutting off while driving.
• ✔ Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
• ✔ Check Engine Light illuminated with communication codes like U0100 or internal processor fault codes like P0601 or P0606.
• ✔ Rough idling, engine misfires, or hesitation during acceleration.
• ✔ Poor fuel economy that has noticeably decreased over time.
• ✔ Erratic automatic transmission shifting behavior.
• ✔ Seemingly unrelated warning lights flickering on the dashboard.

A Straightforward Guide to Installation

Installing your new 2008-2010 Caravan Engine Computer is a simple process that most DIYers can handle. Follow these steps for a successful replacement:

1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge.
2. Locate the ECM: On these minivans, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, often mounted to the firewall or inner fender. It’s a metal box with several large electrical connectors.
3. Disconnect the Connectors: Carefully release the locking tabs on each of the electrical harness connectors and pull them straight off the module. Avoid pulling on the wires themselves.
4. Remove the Old Module: Unbolt the mounting hardware that secures the old ECM to the vehicle. There are usually 3 or 4 bolts holding it in place.
5. Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed ECM in the same location and secure it with the original bolts.
6. Reconnect Everything: Firmly plug the electrical connectors back into the new module until they click into place. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
7. Final Check: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position for 10 seconds before starting the engine. This allows the system to initialize. Start the vehicle and check for proper operation.
