Restore Peak Performance to Your 3.6L Pentastar Engine
Is your 2015 Dodge Challenger, Charger, or Chrysler 300 suffering from perplexing issues like a persistent check engine light, rough idling, stalling, or a complete no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Engine Control Module (ECM), the electronic brain of your vehicle. A faulty ECM can cripple your car’s performance, fuel economy, and reliability. This replacement Engine Control Module, part number 5150883AD, is the definitive solution to get your 3.6L V6 running smoothly and efficiently once again.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2015 Dodge Charger come into the shop with a frustrating, intermittent stalling problem. The owner had already replaced the spark plugs and a few sensors with no luck. The check engine light would come and go, throwing a variety of seemingly unrelated codes. After running a full diagnostic, we traced the electrical anomalies back to the ECM itself. The internal processor was failing under load. Instead of a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealer, we installed one of our pre-programmed units. The car fired up instantly, idled perfectly, and the stalling issue was completely gone. The customer was back on the road the same day, saving hundreds on dealer programming fees and diagnostic time.
Is Your Vehicle Showing Signs of ECM Failure?
A failing engine computer can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your ECM could be the culprit:
- ✔ Check Engine Light: The light is on, and you may have error codes related to multiple, unrelated sensors or systems (e.g., P0606, P0601).
- ✔ No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, even with a good battery and fuel supply.
- ✔ Poor Engine Performance: Noticeable loss of power, hesitation during acceleration, and rough running.
- ✔ Reduced Fuel Economy: The ECM controls the air-fuel mixture, and a faulty unit can cause the engine to run rich, drastically increasing fuel consumption.
- ✔ Intermittent Stalling: The engine randomly shuts off while driving or idling for no apparent reason.
- ✔ Shifting Problems: In some cases, a failing ECM can interfere with communication to the transmission control module, leading to harsh or erratic shifting.
The Simple Solution: A Plug-and-Play 2015 Challenger Engine Computer
The biggest hurdle in replacing an engine computer has always been the expensive and complex programming required at a dealership. We eliminate that problem entirely. This unit is not just a part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. When you place your order, we use the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) you provide to flash the module with your vehicle’s exact software and security information.

Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. However, it’s crucial to ensure the underlying problem isn’t with a sensor or another component. If you have active trouble codes, it’s wise to diagnose them to confirm the ECM is the root cause before ordering.
