Is Your 2015 Chrysler, Dodge, or Charger Running Rough?
If you’re dealing with frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, stalling, or a complete no-start condition in your 2015 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, or Dodge Charger, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a likely culprit. The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle’s powertrain, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifts and emissions controls. When it fails, the symptoms can be unpredictable and difficult to diagnose, leaving you stranded and facing a costly repair bill at the dealership.
This replacement Engine Control Module is the definitive solution to get your 3.6L Pentastar engine running smoothly again. We take the guesswork and high cost out of the equation. Unlike a generic part from a local store, this unit arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage. This means it’s a true plug-and-play component—no need for expensive dealer-only tools or programming sessions. Simply install it, and you’re ready to go.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Dodge Charger 3.6L towed in that was a classic ‘crank, no-start.’ The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. Another shop told him he needed a new engine computer. Before ordering one, we did our due diligence. We connected our scanner and saw no communication with the ECM. That’s a big red flag, but it doesn’t always mean the module itself is dead. We checked the main power and ground pins at the ECM connector. Sure enough, a critical ground wire had corrosion deep inside the insulation, causing an intermittent connection. After repairing the wire, the original ECM powered up and the car started perfectly. This saved the customer hundreds of dollars. Always verify power and grounds at the computer before condemning it—it’s the first step any seasoned technician takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really 100% plug and play?
Yes. We program the module using the VIN you provide during checkout. This process flashes the unit with your vehicle’s exact software and security information, allowing it to work immediately after installation without any further steps.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
You will be prompted to enter your VIN during the checkout process. Please double-check it for accuracy, as the programming is specific to this number.
Do I need any special tools to install this part?
No special programming tools are required. Installation typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set, to disconnect the battery and unbolt the old ECM. The electrical connectors are designed to be removed and installed by hand.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the original ECM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. However, it’s crucial to ensure the problem isn’t caused by a faulty sensor or wiring issue. We always recommend having the codes professionally diagnosed before ordering.
What is the most important step during installation?
You must disconnect the vehicle’s battery before you begin removing the old ECM. Failing to do so can cause a voltage spike that can damage the new module, other electronics in the car, or even cause personal injury. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal first.
