Restore Your Vehicle’s Brainpower and Performance
The Engine Control Module (ECM), often called the engine computer, is the central command center for your 2015 Dodge Challenger, Charger, or Chrysler 300’s 3.6L engine. It meticulously manages critical functions like fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions systems, and transmission communication to ensure optimal power, efficiency, and reliability. When this vital component begins to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and often difficult-to-diagnose issues, leaving your vehicle running poorly or not at all.
This replacement ECM, part number 68230316AE, is the definitive solution to these problems. We eliminate the biggest hurdle in ECM replacement: the programming. Each unit is professionally flashed with the latest software and programmed specifically to your vehicle’s unique VIN and mileage. This means it arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation, getting you back on the road without an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Charger 3.6L come into the shop with a ghost of a problem. The owner complained of random stalling at red lights, but it would always start right back up. There were no consistent check engine codes, just a few random communication errors that would come and go. We checked the fuel pump, sensors, and wiring, but everything seemed fine. On a hunch, we monitored the ECM’s live data and noticed a few key sensor readings would flatline just before a stall. We sourced a pre-programmed ECM like this one, and the installation took less than 15 minutes. The customer called a week later, overjoyed that the stalling was completely gone. It was a classic case of a failing 2015 Challenger ECM that was causing intermittent issues without throwing a clear code.
Is Your Vehicle Showing Signs of ECM Failure?
A failing engine computer can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty ECM could be the culprit:
- âś” Persistent Check Engine Light: The light stays on even after addressing other potential issues, or it illuminates with communication-related error codes (U-codes).
- âś” Engine Stalling or Misfiring: The engine may stall unexpectedly, run rough, or misfire as the ECM fails to properly control spark and fuel.
- âś” No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start due to the ECM not firing the ignition coils or fuel injectors.
- âś” Poor Fuel Economy: A sudden and unexplained drop in MPG can be caused by incorrect fuel mixture calculations from a faulty module.
- âś” Inconsistent Shifting: The ECM works with the Transmission Control Module (TCM), and a failure can lead to harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- âś” Apparent Sensor Failure: Multiple, unrelated sensor codes appearing at once can point to the ECM itself rather than the individual sensors.
