Restore Peak Performance to Your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200
Is your vehicle suffering from perplexing issues like stalling, rough idling, a persistent check engine light, or a complete failure to start? These are common indicators of a failing Engine Control Module (ECM), the central computer that manages your engine’s performance, fuel economy, and emissions. Don’t let a faulty computer keep you off the road. This replacement Engine Control Module, part number 68057008AC, is the definitive solution for your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200 equipped with the 2.4L engine and 6-speed automatic transmission.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Avenger come in with a frustratingly intermittent problem. The owner reported that it would randomly stall at red lights, but then start right back up. There were no consistent trouble codes, making it a diagnostic nightmare. After checking fuel pressure, sensors, and wiring harnesses, we focused on the ECM. By monitoring the live data stream, we noticed the module would momentarily lose communication right before a stall. Swapping in a pre-programmed ECM like this one resolved the issue instantly. It’s a reminder that even the most elusive electronic gremlins often point back to the vehicle’s central computer.
Is Your Vehicle Exhibiting These Symptoms?
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with various codes
- ✔ Engine stalling or shutting off unexpectedly
- ✔ Rough or erratic idling
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency
- ✔ Difficulty starting or a no-start condition
- ✔ Poor acceleration and engine performance
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools
If you’re nodding along to any of these points, a failing ECM is the likely culprit. This module is a direct-fit replacement, designed to restore the precise engine management your vehicle had when it left the factory.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2011 Avenger Engine Control Module
The biggest hurdle in replacing an ECM is the complex and costly programming required at a dealership. We eliminate that step entirely. Before this unit ships, it is professionally programmed with your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage. This ensures that all immobilizer (security) information and vehicle-specific parameters are correctly configured. When you receive it, the process is simple:
- Disconnect the Battery: Always start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for safety.
- Locate and Replace: Find your old ECM (typically in the engine bay), disconnect the wiring harnesses, and unbolt it.
- Install the New Module: Bolt the new module in place and securely reconnect the wiring harnesses.
- Reconnect the Battery: Re-attach the negative battery terminal.
That’s it. Your vehicle will start and run correctly without any additional trips to a mechanic or dealer for programming. You get a reliable, cost-effective repair you can perform right in your own driveway.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module really plug-and-play?
Yes, absolutely. We flash the module with the latest software from the manufacturer and program it to the specific VIN you provide during checkout. This process syncs the module to your vehicle’s security system and other components, so no further programming is required.
What information do you need from me to program it?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration or insurance card.
Where is the ECM located on a 2011 Dodge Avenger?
On the 2011 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200, the Engine Control Module is typically located in the engine compartment, mounted to the firewall or inner fender well. It’s a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
If your diagnostic trouble codes point to an internal module failure (like P0600-P0606 codes) or sensor circuit faults that have been traced back to the computer, then replacing the ECM is the correct repair. It’s always best to perform a full diagnosis to ensure the ECM is the root cause before ordering.
Do I need to send my old module (core) back?
Please check the specific terms of the sale on this page. Core policies can vary, but often returning your old module is not required. This allows you to get your vehicle back on the road faster without waiting for core processing.
