Is Your 2015 Dodge or Chrysler 3.6L Running Rough?
The Engine Control Module (ECM), often called the engine computer, is the electronic brain of your vehicle’s powertrain. In your 2015 Dodge Charger, Challenger, or Chrysler 300, it meticulously manages everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When this critical component begins to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and frustrating problems, leaving you with an unreliable vehicle and a persistent Check Engine Light. From stalling at intersections to a complete no-start condition, a faulty ECM can bring your daily drive to a grinding halt.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Chrysler 300 come into the shop with a ghost of a problem. The owner complained of intermittent stalling, but every time we had it, it ran perfectly. We checked fuel pressure, scanned for codes, and tested sensors for hours. Finally, while monitoring live data on a long test drive, we saw the processor voltage inside the ECM drop out for a split second, just before it stalled. It was a classic case of an internal computer failure that no amount of sensor replacement could fix. The owner was dreading a massive bill and days of waiting for a dealership to program a new unit. We provided a pre-programmed module just like this one. The installation took less than 30 minutes, and the car was back on the road, running flawlessly, the very same day. It’s a testament to how a direct, programmed solution saves time, money, and headaches.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related or internal processor fault codes.
- ✔ Engine misfires, stumbles, or runs rough for no apparent reason.
- ✔ Vehicle refuses to start or is extremely difficult to start (hard starting).
- ✔ A noticeable and sudden decrease in fuel economy.
- ✔ Erratic or harsh automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ Stalling while driving or idling.
- ✔ Issues with other electronic systems that communicate with the ECM.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module truly “Plug & Play”?
Yes. We flash the computer with your car’s specific VIN, which programs the engine operating parameters and security information. This allows you to install it without any further programming required. In most cases, you simply install the part, and the vehicle will start and run correctly.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
You can enter your VIN in the designated field during the checkout process. If you forget or have trouble, you can also email it to us with your order number, and we will ensure the module is programmed correctly before shipping.
Will this fix my car’s specific problem?
This module will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. However, it is crucial that the vehicle is properly diagnosed. This part will not fix problems related to other bad sensors, wiring issues, or mechanical failures. We recommend having a qualified mechanic diagnose the issue before ordering.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set and ratchet to disconnect the battery and unbolt the module. The ECM is usually located in the engine bay and is easily accessible. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work.
Do I need to send my old part back?
This listing does not require you to return your original computer. There is no core charge associated with this purchase, saving you the hassle and expense of a return shipment.
