From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2012 Dodge 1500 with the 4.7L V8 come in with a very strange complaint. The owner said it would randomly stall at stoplights, but only after it was fully warmed up. There were no consistent trouble codes, just a generic network communication code that would pop up occasionally. We checked the fuel pressure, spark, and sensors—all tested fine. After hours of chasing wires, we decided to monitor the ECM’s data stream. We noticed that just before a stall, the 5-volt reference signal to the sensors would drop out completely. This pointed directly to an internal fault in the original ECM that only manifested under specific temperature conditions. Swapping in a pre-programmed module like this one solved the problem instantly. The customer was back on the road the same day without the intermittent stalling that had plagued him for months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module truly “Plug and Play”?
Yes, absolutely. We program the module using the VIN you provide during checkout. This process flashes the unit with your truck’s exact software and security information. When it arrives, you simply install it, and the vehicle will start and run correctly without any further programming required.
What information do you need from me?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on the driver’s side door jamb sticker. Please double-check it for accuracy to ensure perfect programming.
Where is the ECM located on my 2012 Dodge 1500?
On the 2012 Dodge 1500 with the 4.7L engine, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, mounted to the firewall on the passenger side. It is a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before attempting to remove or install the module.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal fault within the original ECM, then yes, this replacement module will resolve the issue. However, if the light is caused by a separate faulty sensor or component on the vehicle, that issue will still need to be addressed. This module will allow your truck to correctly diagnose and report on other potential problems.
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.
