Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Plug & Play” mean for my installation?
Plug & Play means the engine computer you receive is pre-programmed with your car’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage. Once you install it, the unit will immediately communicate with your vehicle’s systems without requiring any additional programming or dealer intervention. It’s ready to work right out of the box.
What information do you need from me to program the computer?
After you place your order, we will require your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN and the current mileage. This ensures we can program the module perfectly for your specific car, making the installation seamless.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal fault in your old engine computer (like error code P0601), this replacement unit is designed to resolve that issue. However, if the light is on for another reason (e.g., a bad oxygen sensor), that separate issue will still need to be addressed.
How do I know this is the correct part for my car?
This computer is compatible with the 2008 Dodge Avenger (2.7L & 3.5L) and 2007-2008 Chrysler Sebring (2.7L & 3.5L). We also list numerous compatible OEM part numbers. As long as your vehicle and part number match our list, and you provide the correct VIN, this unit is guaranteed to be the right fit.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, replacing an ECM is typically straightforward. It usually involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old unit, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in reverse order. Since our unit is Plug & Play, you avoid the most difficult part: the programming.
