Is Your Chrysler 200 or Avenger Running Poorly?
If you’re experiencing frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, erratic engine performance, stalling, or even a no-start condition in your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a very likely culprit. The ECM is the central brain of your vehicle, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of problems that are often difficult to diagnose, leading to costly and ineffective repairs.
The Direct, Hassle-Free Solution: A Pre-Programmed 2011 Chrysler 200 ECM
Forget expensive dealership visits and the headache of programming a new module. This Engine Control Module is the definitive solution for your vehicle. We take all the guesswork and complexity out of the process. Before shipping, we flash the unit with the latest, most stable Chrysler-approved software and then program it specifically to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures that when it arrives, it’s a true Plug & Play component. It will seamlessly integrate with your car’s existing systems, including the immobilizer and keys, without any need for additional programming or calibration.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I once had a 2011 Avenger in the shop that had everyone stumped. The owner complained of harsh, unpredictable shifting and an intermittent check engine light. Another shop had already replaced the transmission solenoid pack, but the problem persisted. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we noticed intermittent communication loss with the engine controller. On a hunch, we monitored the data stream from the ECM to the TCM (Transmission Control Module) and found corrupt data packets. The root cause wasn’t the transmission at all; it was a failing ECM wreaking havoc on the whole network. Installing a properly programmed module solved every single issue instantly. It’s a powerful reminder that the ECM’s health is critical to the entire vehicle’s operation.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Engine Computer

- âś” Harsh, delayed, or erratic shifting from the 6-speed automatic transmission.
- âś” Intermittent or complete no-start condition, where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
- âś” Stalling for no apparent reason, either at idle or while driving.
- âś” Inability for a diagnostic scan tool to communicate with the engine module.
