Restore Peak Performance to Your 3.6L V6
Is your 2015 Dodge Challenger, Charger, or Chrysler 300 suffering from perplexing issues like random stalling, rough idling, a persistent check engine light, or a complete no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the brain of your vehicle’s engine, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to emissions controls and transmission shifting. When it falters, the entire vehicle’s performance and reliability are compromised. Don’t let a faulty computer keep your Mopar off the road. This replacement ECM is the definitive solution, arriving fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage for a true plug-and-play installation.
The Critical Role of Your 2015 Challenger Engine Computer
The engine computer in your 3.6L Pentastar-equipped vehicle is a sophisticated piece of hardware responsible for thousands of calculations per second. It takes data from sensors all over the engine—like the crankshaft position sensor, oxygen sensors, and mass airflow sensor—and uses that information to make precise adjustments. A failing unit can send incorrect signals, leading to a cascade of problems that are often misdiagnosed as faulty sensors or mechanical issues. Replacing sensors chasing a problem will only lead to frustration and wasted money when the core issue is the central processing unit itself. This is where our pre-programmed 2015 Challenger Engine Computer provides a direct and effective fix.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Charger with the 3.6L come in that was a diagnostic nightmare for another shop. The owner had already replaced three oxygen sensors, the MAP sensor, and a set of spark plugs trying to solve an intermittent stalling issue and a P0171 (System Too Lean) code. The car would run fine for a day, then suddenly die at a stoplight. We connected our advanced diagnostic scanner and monitored the live data streams from the ECM. We noticed that the short-term fuel trim values would suddenly spike just before the engine would stall, with no corresponding change from the sensor inputs. This pointed directly to the ECM’s internal logic failing. We installed one of our VIN-programmed modules, cleared the adaptive memory, and the car ran perfectly. The customer was thrilled to finally have a reliable vehicle again after weeks of chasing ghosts.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty ECM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with codes related to internal processor failure (e.g., P0601, P0606).
- ✔ Unexplained drops in fuel economy.
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or hesitating during acceleration.
- ✔ Rough or erratic idling.
- ✔ Difficulty starting the engine or a complete no-start condition.
- ✔ Automatic transmission shifting erratically or harshly.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
- ✔ Misfire codes that don’t resolve after replacing plugs and coils.
A True Plug-and-Play Solution
The biggest hurdle when replacing a modern ECM is the complex programming required. The module needs to be configured with your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), mileage, and security information (SKIM/immobilizer). Without this, the vehicle will not start. Our service eliminates this expensive and time-consuming step. We handle all the programming for you before the part ever ships. When you receive your replacement 2015 Challenger Engine Computer, the process is simple:
- Disconnect the Battery: Always start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for safety.
- Locate and Remove the Old ECM: On these models, it’s typically found in the engine bay. Disconnect the electrical connectors and unbolt the module.
- Install the New ECM: Bolt the new module in place and securely reconnect the electrical harnesses.
- Reconnect the Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- Start the Vehicle: The engine will start and run correctly with no further programming or dealer visits required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
Absolutely not. This engine computer comes fully programmed to the VIN and mileage you provide at checkout. It is a 100% plug-and-play solution. No trips to the dealer or special tools are required.
What information do you need from me?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration or insurance card.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal fault with your original ECM, this replacement part will resolve the issue. However, if the light is on for other reasons (like a faulty sensor or mechanical problem), those issues will need to be addressed separately.
Is this compatible with my 2015 Charger 3.6L?
Yes, this ECM is a direct fit for the 2015 Dodge Charger, 2015 Dodge Challenger, and 2015 Chrysler 300, as long as your vehicle is equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine.
What if I order the wrong part?
We strongly recommend matching your original part number to the list provided. Providing your VIN during checkout allows us to double-check compatibility and ensure you receive the correct, programmed module for your exact vehicle, minimizing any chance of error.
