Is Your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200 Running Poorly?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle you can’t rely on. If your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200 is experiencing bizarre and unpredictable issues like stalling, rough idling, or a persistent check engine light that no amount of part-swapping seems to fix, the root cause might be its central nervous system: the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM, also known as the engine computer, is responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it fails, it can create a cascade of problems that are often difficult to diagnose.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Engine Computer
A faulty ECM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking the failure of other components. If you’re noticing any of the following issues, it’s time to consider the health of your vehicle’s computer. This replacement 2011 Avenger ECM is the definitive solution for restoring your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with various, often unrelated, trouble codes.
- ✔ Engine stalling or shutting off unexpectedly while driving.
- ✔ Difficulty starting the engine, or a complete no-start condition.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy.
- ✔ Rough or erratic idling.
- ✔ Poor engine performance, hesitation, or misfires.
- ✔ Harsh or incorrect shifting from the 6-speed automatic transmission.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Chrysler 200 come into the shop with a classic head-scratcher. The owner had already replaced the crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor, and a full set of spark plugs trying to chase down an intermittent stalling issue and a P0335 code. The car would run fine for days, then suddenly die at a stoplight. After confirming the new sensors were working correctly and checking the wiring harness for damage, we hooked up our scope to the sensor signals going into the ECM. We found that the signals were clean, but the ECM was intermittently failing to process them, causing it to lose track of engine position and shut down. A replacement, correctly programmed ECM solved the problem instantly. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes the issue isn’t the sensor, but the computer reading it.
