Is Your 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger Experiencing Frustrating Issues?
If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, erratic shifting, stalling, or a sudden drop in fuel economy, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a likely culprit. The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, responsible for managing everything from the air-fuel mixture to transmission shift points. When it begins to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that are often difficult to diagnose, leading to costly and unnecessary repairs. Don’t let a faulty computer keep you off the road. This direct-replacement engine computer is the reliable, straightforward solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and drivability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Dodge Avenger come into the shop with a classic complaint: harsh, unpredictable shifting and a check engine light that wouldn’t stay off. The owner had already replaced two transmission solenoids at another shop, with no improvement. After hooking up our advanced scanner, we noticed communication errors between the transmission controller and the engine computer. Instead of throwing more parts at the transmission, we inspected the ECM. We found tell-tale signs of internal failure. By installing a correctly programmed 2011 Chrysler 200 ECM, we were able to resolve all the shifting problems and clear the codes for good. It’s a perfect example of how engine computer issues can masquerade as transmission problems.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with various trouble codes.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or misfiring for no apparent reason.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency (MPG).
- ✔ Difficulty starting the engine or a complete no-start condition.
- ✔ Loss of communication with diagnostic scan tools.
- ✔ Unexplained warning lights on the dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to program the ECM?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. This ensures the ECM is programmed correctly for your specific vehicle configuration and to maintain accurate odometer readings.
Is this really a ‘Plug & Play’ installation?
Yes. Because we program the unit to your VIN before shipping, it will not require any additional programming or flashing from a dealer. You or your mechanic simply need to install it. In some cases, a ‘throttle relearn’ procedure may be needed, which can be done without special tools and instructions are readily available online.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated codes are caused by a faulty ECM, this replacement will resolve the issue. However, it’s crucial to ensure that other potential problems (like faulty sensors or wiring) have been ruled out. This ECM will fix problems originating from the computer itself.
How do I find my original part number to confirm compatibility?
Your original part number is printed on a white sticker on the housing of your current ECM. You can compare it to the list of compatible part numbers on this page. Even if your number isn’t listed, as long as your vehicle is a 2011 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger with the 2.4L engine, this module will be the correct programmed replacement.
Do I need to send my old ECM back?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your old module at your convenience.
