End the Frustration and Get Back on the Road
Is your 2013 Dodge Avenger or Chrysler 200 giving you headaches? Stalling unexpectedly, refusing to start, or showing a cascade of confusing check engine lights can be incredibly stressful. These aren’t just annoyances; they’re signs that the very brain of your engineโthe Engine Control Module (ECM)โmay be failing. You need a reliable, straightforward solution that doesn’t involve expensive dealership visits and complex programming. This is it. Our pre-programmed engine computer is the definitive fix, designed to restore your vehicle’s performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct Solution
A faulty ECM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your likely solution:
- No-Start or Hard Starting: The engine cranks but refuses to turn over, or takes an excessive amount of time to start.
- Rough Idle & Stalling: Your car idles erratically or stalls completely at stops, creating unsafe driving conditions.
- Check Engine Light with Communication Codes: You may see codes like U0100 (Lost Communication with ECM/PCM) or other confusing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that point to a module failure.
- Poor Fuel Economy & Performance: A noticeable drop in MPG and sluggish acceleration are classic signs of an ECM that’s no longer managing the engine correctly.
- Intermittent Electrical Issues: Seemingly random problems with sensors or other electronic components can often be traced back to the central computer.
Instead of chasing down individual sensor issues, address the root cause with a reliable 2013 Dodge Avenger ECM that arrives ready for installation.

A Technician’s Tip: The Hidden Cost of a Bad ECM
“Over my 20 years in the shop, I’ve seen people spend a fortune replacing perfectly good sensorsโO2 sensors, cam sensors, you name itโall because the diagnostic codes were misleading. A failing ECM is the ‘ghost in the machine,’ sending out bad data that makes you chase problems that aren’t there. The smartest first step for multiple, confusing codes is often the ECM itself. A pre-programmed unit like this 2013 Dodge Avenger ECM not only fixes the core problem but also prevents you from wasting money on unnecessary parts and labor. It’s the most efficient path back to a reliable vehicle.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this unit really Plug & Play?
Yes, absolutely. We program the module using the VIN you provide during checkout. This ensures it has the correct software and security information for your specific vehicle. Once installed, it will function immediately without any additional programming.
Do I need to match the part number exactly?
While your original part number may be on our compatibility list, the most important thing is matching your vehicle’s year, make, model, and engine size (2013 Avenger/200 with 2.4L engine). Our programming process ensures this module will work as a replacement for all the listed compatible part numbers.
Will I need any special tools for installation?
No special tools are required. Basic hand tools like a socket set are typically all that’s needed to disconnect the battery and unbolt the old ECM to install the new one. It’s a very straightforward process for a DIY-er or any professional mechanic.
What information do you need from me to program it?
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 your driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will my keys work after I install this?
Yes. Our programming process syncs the module to your vehicle’s existing security information stored in other modules, so your original keys will continue to work exactly as they did before.
What should I do after installing the new ECM?
After a successful installation of your new 2013 Dodge Avenger ECM, it is a good practice to clear any old diagnostic trouble codes with a standard OBD-II scanner. Then, drive the vehicle for 15-20 minutes to allow the computer to complete its internal self-tests and adjustments.
