Is Your 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200 Running Poorly?
If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, erratic engine behavior, poor fuel economy, or even a no-start condition, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a very likely culprit. The ECM is the brain of your vehicle, controlling critical functions like fuel injection, ignition timing, and transmission shifting. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems. Don’t let a faulty computer keep you off the road. This direct-fit replacement engine computer is the reliable, cost-effective solution you need.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Avenger come into the shop with a complaint of intermittent stalling at stoplights and a check engine light for a random misfire. The owner had already replaced the spark plugs, ignition coils, and even the crankshaft position sensor with no luck. After hours of chasing wires and testing components, we hooked up our advanced scanner and monitored the ECM’s live data. We noticed the injector pulse width signals were dropping out randomly, a clear sign the ECM’s internal drivers were failing. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the car ran perfectly. It’s a classic case where the root cause was the computer itself, not the parts it controls.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
- ✔ Check Engine Light is illuminated with various, often inconsistent, trouble codes.
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or hesitating during acceleration.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ The vehicle won’t start, even with a good battery and starter.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
- ✔ Misfire codes that don’t resolve after replacing plugs or coils.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this engine computer truly “Plug and Play”?
Yes. We program the computer with the latest software update using your vehicle’s VIN. This ensures that when you receive it, you can simply install it, and the vehicle will start and run correctly without requiring a trip to a dealership for further programming.
Where is the ECM located on my 2011 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200?
On these models, the Engine Control Module is typically located in the engine bay, mounted to the firewall or inner fender. It will be a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before attempting to remove or install the ECM.
What information do you need to program the module?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. On these vehicles, the ECM and Transmission Control Module (TCM) functions are often integrated or work in close conjunction. A failing ECM can absolutely cause poor shifting, hesitation, or incorrect gear selection. Replacing a faulty ECM often resolves these related transmission symptoms.
How can I be certain my old ECM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators, it’s always best to have a qualified mechanic perform a full diagnostic. However, if you’ve already ruled out common failure points like sensors, coils, and wiring, and you’re experiencing multiple, seemingly unrelated electronic issues, the ECM is the most probable cause. This is especially true if you have communication errors with a scan tool.
