Is Your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger Experiencing Frustrating Issues?
If your vehicle is suffering from unexplained stalling, a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, or erratic shifting, the root cause might be a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shift points. When it begins to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that are often difficult to diagnose, leading to wasted time and money on unnecessary repairs.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2011 Dodge Avenger in the shop with an intermittent stalling problem that was driving the owner crazy. It would die at stoplights without warning, but then start right back up. No consistent codes were being stored. The owner had already replaced the spark plugs and a couple of sensors with no luck. After running a full diagnostic and monitoring live data, we noticed erratic voltage readings from the ECM. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the problem vanished instantly. It’s a classic case where the central computer was the hidden culprit behind a seemingly random issue.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Engine Computer
- âś” Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) that won’t clear.
- âś” Unexplained stalling or engine shutting off while driving.
- âś” Rough or inconsistent idling.
- âś” Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency.
- âś” Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- âś” Engine misfires or hesitation during acceleration.
- âś” Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire.
- âś” Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.

Simple Installation Process
While professional installation is always recommended for those unfamiliar with automotive electronics, replacing the ECM is a straightforward process. The module is typically located in the engine bay. The basic steps involve disconnecting the vehicle’s battery to ensure safety, carefully unplugging the wiring harnesses from the old module, unbolting it from its mounting bracket, and then installing the new unit in its place. Once the new module is secured and the harnesses are reconnected, you can reconnect the battery. Your vehicle will recognize the pre-programmed ECM, and you’ll be ready to get back on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this ECM programmed by a dealer?
No. This unit comes pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage. It is a true plug-and-play solution, saving you the cost and hassle of a dealership visit.
What information do you need from me when I order?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. This allows us to program the module correctly for your specific car.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal fault within the original ECM, then this replacement part will solve the problem. However, if the light is caused by another failing sensor or component on the vehicle, that issue will still need to be addressed separately.

The ECM is typically found in the engine compartment. On the 2011 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger, it is often mounted to the firewall or on one of the inner fender wells. It will be a metal box with several large electrical connectors.
Is this part compatible with my 2011 Dodge Avenger?
Yes, this ECM is fully compatible with the 2011 Dodge Avenger as long as it is equipped with the 2.4L engine and the 6-speed automatic transmission.
