Is Your 2015 Dodge Charger Running Rough or Not Starting?
A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM), often called the engine computer, is a common culprit behind a host of frustrating and performance-robbing issues in your 2015 Dodge Charger, Challenger, or Chrysler 300. If you’re dealing with an illuminated check engine light, unexplained stalling, poor fuel mileage, or a car that simply won’t start, the brain of your engine might be the problem. This replacement engine computer, part number 68230321, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2015 Charger 3.6L towed in with a classic case of ECM failure. The owner reported intermittent stalling at traffic lights and a persistent check engine light. Our scan tool revealed a U0100 code, indicating a loss of communication with the ECM. After verifying all power and ground circuits to the module were intact, we confirmed an internal fault. Instead of a costly trip to the dealership and days of downtime, we installed one of our pre-programmed modules. The car fired up instantly, the codes were gone, and the customer was back on the road in under an hour. This is the simple, effective solution we provide directly to you.
Diagnosing a Failing 2015 Charger Engine Computer
The engine computer is responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shift points and emissions controls. When it begins to fail, the symptoms can be widespread and sometimes confusing. This direct-fit replacement is engineered to solve these exact problems.
Common Symptoms of a Bad ECM:
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) that won’t clear.
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start.
- ✔ Unexplained stalling or rough, erratic idling.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy.
- ✔ Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Misfire codes (e.g., P0300-P0306) without a mechanical cause.
- ✔ Inability for scan tools to communicate with the module.
- ✔ Harsh or incorrect automatic transmission shifting.
The Plug & Play Advantage
Forget about expensive dealership visits, towing fees, and complex programming procedures. Our core service is providing a module that is 100% ready for installation right out of the box.

This ensures that it communicates perfectly with all other modules in your car—like the transmission controller and anti-lock brake system—without any additional steps. The security information is also programmed, so your keys will work immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this engine computer really Plug & Play?
Yes. We program the module with your car’s specific VIN and security information before it ships. This means no additional programming or dealer intervention is required. Simply install it, connect the battery, and start your vehicle.
What information do you need to program the module?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically provide this information during the checkout process. The VIN is essential for loading the correct software and calibration files for your car’s specific options.
Will this fix my car’s problem for sure?
This module will resolve any issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. While the symptoms listed are strong indicators of ECM failure, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to rule out other potential issues like wiring problems or sensor failures.
Do I need to perform any special procedure after installation?
No special tools are needed. After installing the new module and reconnecting the battery, it’s a good practice to turn the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 seconds before starting the engine. This allows all the vehicle’s modules to communicate. Then, start the car and let it idle for a few minutes.
Do I need to send my old computer back?
This purchase does not typically require you to return your original module, meaning there is no core charge. Please check the specific terms in the shopping cart or contact our support for confirmation.
