Is Your 2015 Dodge Charger, Challenger, or Chrysler 300 Running Rough?
If your 3.6L V6 is experiencing perplexing issues like random stalling, poor fuel economy, a no-start condition, or a persistent check engine light that won’t go away, the root cause might be a faulty Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the central brain of your vehicle’s powertrain, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it begins to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that are often difficult to diagnose, leading to wasted time and money on unnecessary sensor replacements.
This replacement engine computer is the definitive solution for restoring your vehicle’s performance and reliability. It arrives at your door fully programmed to your specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and mileage. This means it’s a true plug-and-play component, eliminating the need for expensive trips to the dealership for programming or flashing. Simply install it, and you’re ready to get back on the road.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Charger 3.6L come into the shop with a classic complaint: intermittent stalling at stoplights and a check engine light with codes for multiple sensor circuits (P0108, P0340, P0122). The owner had already replaced the MAP sensor, camshaft position sensor, and throttle position sensor, yet the problems persisted. After verifying the wiring harnesses were intact, we connected our diagnostic scanner and monitored the live data streams from the ECM. We noticed erratic voltage readings that didn’t correspond to actual engine conditions. This pointed directly to an internal failure in the engine computer. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the car immediately started and ran perfectly. All sensor readings stabilized, and the codes were cleared for good. It’s a common scenario where the ‘brain’ is the problem, not the ‘senses’.
Diagnosing a Failing 2015 Charger Engine Computer
A failing ECM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it’s a strong indicator that your 2015 Charger Engine Computer may need replacement. This module is the central command for your powertrain, and its proper function is critical for performance and safety.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty ECM
- ✔ Check Engine Light: The check engine light is illuminated, often with communication-related or multiple, seemingly unrelated sensor codes.
- ✔ No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, even with a good battery and starter.
- ✔ Stalling or Misfiring: The engine may stall unexpectedly while driving or at idle, and you might experience rough running or misfires.
- ✔ Poor Performance & Fuel Economy: A noticeable decrease in acceleration, power, and a significant drop in miles per gallon (MPG).
- ✔ Transmission Issues: Harsh or erratic shifting, as the ECM plays a crucial role in communicating with the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
- ✔ Intermittent Problems: Issues that come and go, often worsening as the engine warms up, indicating heat-related failure of internal electronic components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really plug-and-play?
Yes, absolutely. We program the module with the specific VIN and mileage you provide during checkout. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s other systems, like the ignition and instrument cluster, right out of the box. No further programming is required.
Do I need to have my keys reprogrammed?
No. Our programming process syncs the module to your vehicle’s existing security information stored in other components. Your current keys will work exactly as they did before, without any need for a locksmith or dealer visit.
Where is the ECM located on my 2015 Charger/Challenger/300?
On these 3.6L models, the Engine Control Module is typically located in the engine bay, on the passenger side, near the firewall or shock tower. It’s a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before attempting to remove or install the module.
What information do you need from me to program it?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to ensure the programming is a perfect match for your car’s specific options and configuration. You can typically find the VIN on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated codes are caused by a failing ECM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. It’s crucial to ensure that the problem isn’t with a sensor or wiring harness itself. However, if you’ve already replaced sensors and checked wiring, a faulty 2015 Charger Engine Computer is the most likely culprit.
