Is Your 2011 Chrysler 200 Running Poorly?
Dealing with a frustrating check engine light, erratic engine behavior, or a no-start condition in your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger can bring your day to a halt. The Engine Control Module (ECM), often called the engine computer, is the central command center for your vehicle’s engine. It controls everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to emissions systems and transmission shifting. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and costly problems. This replacement engine computer is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We once had a 2011 Dodge Avenger (which shares the same platform as the 200) come into the shop with a persistent, intermittent stalling issue and a check engine light that would come and go. The owner had already replaced the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors based on generic advice, but the problem remained. Our lead technician connected a professional scan tool and noticed that communication with the ECM would drop out just before a stall. Further testing revealed that the main power relay circuit inside the original ECM was failing under heat. Installing a correctly programmed replacement module like this one resolved the issue completely, saving the customer from further guesswork and unnecessary parts replacement. It’s a classic case of symptoms pointing to sensors, when the real culprit is the computer itself.
Symptoms of a Failing 2011 Chrysler 200 ECM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) that won’t clear or returns immediately.
- ✔ Engine stalling or shutting off unexpectedly while driving.
- ✔ No-start or hard-starting conditions, even with a good battery and starter.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy and poor engine performance.
- ✔ Rough idling, misfires, or hesitation during acceleration.
- ✔ Automatic transmission shifting erratically or harshly.
- ✔ Inability for a scan tool to communicate with the engine computer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really plug-and-play?
Yes. We program the module using the VIN you provide during checkout. This service flashes the unit with your vehicle’s specific software and security information, making it ready for installation without any additional programming required.
What information do you need from me?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to ensure the programming is a perfect match for your car’s factory settings and features. You can typically find your VIN on the driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.
Where is the ECM located on my 2011 Chrysler 200?
On the 2011 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger with the 2.4L engine, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, mounted to the firewall or on the driver’s side shock tower. It is a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors.
Will this fix my specific problem or check engine light?
This module will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. While a failing ECM is a common cause for the symptoms listed, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the ECM is the point of failure before ordering.
Do I need to perform any relearn procedures after installation?
In most cases, no extensive relearn procedures are needed. Once installed, you can start the vehicle and it should operate normally. Some vehicles may benefit from a simple throttle body relearn, which can often be done by cycling the ignition without starting the engine, but it is not typically required.
