Is Your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger Running Rough?
If you’re dealing with frustrating issues like stalling, erratic engine behavior, poor fuel economy, or a persistent check engine light that just won’t go away, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a very likely culprit. The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of problems that are often difficult to diagnose, leaving you stranded and facing expensive dealership repair bills.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Dodge Avenger come into the shop with a classic case of intermittent no-start. The owner had already replaced the battery and starter to no avail. The car would crank but wouldn’t fire, and then, an hour later, it would start up like nothing was wrong. After hours of chasing wires and testing sensors, we hooked up our advanced scanner and monitored the 5-volt reference signal from the ECM. We saw the voltage dropping out randomly, which was starving the critical engine sensors of power. A new, properly programmed ECM fixed the issue instantly. It’s a textbook example of how a faulty module can mimic other component failures.
