Is Your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200 Experiencing Engine Problems?
If your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200 is suffering from perplexing issues like stalling, poor fuel economy, a persistent check engine light, or a complete no-start condition, the root cause is often a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the brain of your vehicle’s engine, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it begins to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that are frustrating and difficult to diagnose. Don’t let a faulty computer keep your car off the road. This direct-fit replacement engine computer is the reliable, straightforward solution you need.
Expert Pro Tip
Before replacing your ECM, always perform a thorough inspection of the vehicle’s battery, terminals, and primary engine ground wires. A weak battery or a corroded ground connection can cause low voltage issues that mimic the symptoms of a failed ECM. A simple check with a multimeter can save you from replacing a perfectly good module. Ensure all connections are clean, tight, and free of corrosion.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
A failing engine computer can manifest in various ways. If you’re noticing any of the following issues with your 2.4L Avenger or 200, it’s a strong indicator that your ECM needs attention:
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with seemingly random or communication-related trouble codes (e.g., U-codes).
- ✔ Engine misfires, stumbles, or runs rough.
- ✔ Unexplained drop in fuel efficiency.
- ✔ Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving or at idle.
- ✔ Difficulty starting the engine or a complete no-start condition.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic shifting from the 6-speed automatic transmission.
- ✔ Loss of power and poor acceleration.
- ✔ Cooling fans not turning on, leading to overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to program this ECM for my car?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage. This allows us to flash the module with the correct software and settings for your specific car, ensuring a true plug-and-play installation.
Will I need to have a dealer or mechanic program this module after I install it?
No. This module arrives completely programmed and ready for installation. No further flashing or programming is required. Simply disconnect the battery, swap the old module with the new one, and reconnect the battery.
Where is the ECM located on a 2011 Dodge Avenger?
On the 2011 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, mounted on the driver’s side firewall or near the strut tower. It’s a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors.
Can a bad ECM cause my automatic transmission to shift incorrectly?
Absolutely. The ECM works in close communication with the Transmission Control Module (TCM). A faulty ECM can send incorrect data, leading to hard shifts, delayed shifting, or the transmission going into ‘limp mode.’ Replacing a bad ECM can often resolve these related transmission issues.
Is this part compatible with my 2011 Chrysler 200?
Yes, this engine computer is fully compatible with the 2011 Chrysler 200 as long as it is equipped with the 2.4L engine and the 6-speed automatic transmission, as specified in the fitment data.
