Is Your 2009-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee Running Rough?
Dealing with a persistent check engine light, erratic engine behavior, or a no-start condition in your Jeep can be incredibly frustrating. These are classic signs that the very brain of your vehicle, the Engine Control Module (ECM), might be failing. The ECM is responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifts and emissions control. When it malfunctions, your vehicle’s performance and reliability suffer dramatically.
This replacement Engine Control Module, part number 68028167AE, is the definitive solution for your 2009-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee or Commander equipped with the 3.7L engine. We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair process. Each unit is professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and mileage before it ships. This means it arrives at your door completely ready for installation—no expensive trips to the dealership for programming are required. It’s a true Plug & Play solution designed to get you back on the road quickly and affordably.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently worked with a customer who owned a 2010 Grand Cherokee 3.7L. He had spent months and over a thousand dollars chasing a random stalling issue. He replaced the crankshaft position sensor, the camshaft position sensor, and even the throttle body based on generic advice. The problem persisted. Finally, after scanning the vehicle, we found intermittent communication loss codes (U-codes) pointing to the ECM. Once he installed our pre-programmed Grand Cherokee Engine Computer, the stalling vanished instantly. His story is a common one: don’t waste money on sensors until you’ve considered the computer that controls them.

We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to program the module correctly. This ensures that the computer has the exact software and settings for your Jeep’s specific options and security systems. Please provide your VIN during the checkout process.
Is this part truly “Plug and Play”?
Yes. “Plug and Play” means the module arrives pre-programmed and requires no further action after installation. You will not need to visit a dealer or mechanic for additional programming. Once installed, the vehicle will start and operate as it should.
Where is the ECM located on my 2009-2010 Grand Cherokee?
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) on the 2009-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.7L engine is located in the engine bay, specifically on the right-hand (passenger) side, towards the rear firewall.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
This module is designed to resolve issues related to the computer itself, including common fault codes like P0600, P0601, P0605, and various communication errors. While it can resolve many issues, it’s always best to have a proper diagnosis to confirm the ECM is the source of the problem before ordering.
