Is Your 2011 Avenger or 200 Running Poorly?
If your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200 is suffering from persistent check engine lights, erratic engine behavior, poor fuel economy, or even a no-start condition, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the culprit. The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting. When it begins to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems. This replacement ECM, part number 68057006AB, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Avenger come into the shop with a complaint of intermittent stalling and a check engine light for a random misfire (P0300). The owner had already replaced the spark plugs, ignition coils, and even the crankshaft position sensor with no success. After hooking up our advanced diagnostic scanner, we noticed the live data for the fuel trims and ignition timing were fluctuating wildly, far beyond normal parameters. This pointed not to a single sensor, but to the central processor making the decisions. We swapped in a pre-programmed 2011 Avenger ECM, and the car immediately ran smoothly. The data streams stabilized, and the misfire code never returned. It’s a classic case where chasing individual symptoms can be costly, while addressing the root cause—the ECM—provides the complete fix.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2011 Avenger ECM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with various codes
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or hesitating during acceleration
- ✔ Rough or erratic idling
- ✔ Harsh or incorrect shifting from the 6-speed automatic transmission
- ✔ A significant drop in fuel mileage
- ✔ Complete no-start or no-spark condition
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools
- ✔ Other warning lights on the dashboard appearing without cause
The Plug-and-Play Advantage
One of the biggest hurdles in replacing a modern vehicle’s computer is the need for expensive programming at a dealership. Our process eliminates that step entirely. We take your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage and program this information directly into the module before it ships. When you receive your replacement 2011 Avenger ECM, it is a true plug-and-play part. Simply disconnect the battery, swap the old module with the new one, reconnect the battery, and start your car. There is no need for a trip to the dealer or any special tools for programming, saving you time and hundreds of dollars in labor costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this ECM programmed by a dealer?
No. This engine computer comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN and mileage. It is a plug-and-play solution that requires no additional programming or dealer intervention. Just install it, and you’re ready to go.
How difficult is the installation?
Installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It typically involves disconnecting the vehicle’s battery, locating the old ECM, unplugging the wiring harnesses, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in the reverse order. No special tools are required.
How do I provide my VIN and mileage?
You will be prompted to provide your vehicle’s VIN and current mileage during the checkout process. This information is essential for us to program the module correctly for your specific car.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. It is crucial to ensure that the codes stored in the computer have been properly diagnosed and that the ECM is indeed the point of failure, not a separate sensor or wiring problem.
Is this compatible with my Chrysler 200?
Yes, this ECM 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. It shares the same electronic architecture as the 2011 Dodge Avenger.
