Is Your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200 Running Poorly?
Dealing with a car that won’t run right is frustrating. If your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200 is experiencing perplexing issues like stalling, erratic shifting, a persistent check engine light, or even a complete no-start condition, the root cause is often a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). This component is the brain of your vehicle, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission behavior. When it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that are difficult to diagnose.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Avenger come into the shop that had its owner completely stumped. The car would run fine for a few minutes, then suddenly stall at a stoplight. Other times, the transmission would shift harshly for no reason. The owner had already replaced the spark plugs and a couple of sensors with no luck. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw intermittent communication errors with the main computer. Instead of a wild goose chase for a wiring issue, we first checked the ECM. A quick swap with a known-good unit confirmed our suspicion: the original ECM was faulty. By providing a pre-programmed replacement, we had the customer back on the road the same day, saving them hundreds in unnecessary diagnostic time and parts.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with various, often unrelated, trouble codes.
- ✔ Engine stalls, stumbles, or misfires intermittently.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ The vehicle won’t start, but the battery and starter are good.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
- ✔ Intermittent issues that seem to have no logical cause.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Engine Control Module do?
The Engine Control Module (ECM), also known as an Engine Control Unit (ECU), is your vehicle’s central computer. It processes data from sensors all over the engine and drivetrain to make real-time adjustments to the fuel mixture, ignition timing, and transmission shift points to ensure optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control.
Is this module really ‘Plug & Play’?
Yes. ‘Plug & Play’ means that we program the module with your vehicle’s specific VIN and software before we ship it. When you receive it, you simply disconnect the old module and connect this new one. No additional programming or dealership visits are required for the vehicle to start and run correctly.
How do I find my vehicle’s part number?
Your original module will have a sticker on it with the part number. It typically starts with ’68’ or ’05’. Matching this number to our compatible list is the best way to ensure you are ordering the correct part for your 2011 Avenger or 200.
Do I need to have my keys reprogrammed?
No. Because we flash the module with your car’s original data, it will recognize your existing keys. The immobilizer system will function just as it did before, so you can use your current keys without any issue.
What information do you need from me to program the module?
During the checkout process, we will require your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and the current mileage. This ensures we load the correct factory software and settings for your specific car.
