Is Your 2015 Charger, Challenger, or 300 Running Rough?
If your 2015 Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300, or Dodge Challenger is experiencing perplexing issues like stalling, erratic behavior, or a persistent check engine light, the root cause might be its most critical component: the Engine Control Module (ECM). As the central computer for your 3.6L Pentastar engine, a failing ECM can create a cascade of problems that can be difficult to diagnose. From poor fuel economy to a complete no-start condition, a faulty engine computer can sideline your vehicle and leave you searching for a reliable solution.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Challenger with the 3.6L come in that was driving the owner crazy. It had a random, intermittent misfire on cylinder 3 that would only happen after the engine was fully warmed up. The owner had already replaced the spark plug, ignition coil, and fuel injector for that cylinder, but the problem persisted. After hooking up our diagnostic scope, we noticed the control signal from the ECM to the #3 coil was dropping out unpredictably. The internal driver in the original engine computer was failing under heat. Installing a correctly programmed replacement ECM solved the issue instantly, saving the customer from further unnecessary parts replacements.
Symptoms of a Failing 2015 3.6L Engine Computer
- ✔ Check Engine Light: A constant check engine light is the most common sign. You may see codes related to sensor circuits, communication errors (like U0100), or processor faults.
- ✔ Engine Performance Issues: Noticeable loss of power, hesitation during acceleration, rough idling, or engine misfires can all point to a failing ECM.
- ✔ No-Start Condition: The engine may crank but refuse to start. This can happen if the ECM is not properly controlling the fuel injectors or ignition coils.
- ✔ Poor Fuel Economy: If the ECM is not calculating the air-fuel mixture correctly, you’ll see a significant drop in your vehicle’s MPG.
- ✔ Erratic Shifting or Stalling: The ECM works in tandem with the transmission control module. A faulty unit can cause unexpected shifting patterns or cause the engine to stall unexpectedly.
- ✔ Intermittent Problems: Issues that appear and disappear, often related to engine temperature, can be a sign of failing internal components within the computer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this engine computer?
No. This module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage. It is a true Plug & Play solution, requiring no further dealer programming or initialization.
What information do you need from me?
To ensure perfect programming, we require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage during the checkout process. This allows us to load the correct software and security information for your car.
Where is the ECM located on my 2015 Charger?
On the 2015 Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300, and Dodge Challenger, the ECM is typically located in the engine compartment. You can usually find it mounted on the passenger side firewall or near the shock tower.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated diagnostic trouble codes are caused by a faulty ECM, then this replacement part will solve the problem. However, if the codes are for a different failing component (like an oxygen sensor or catalyst), those issues will need to be addressed separately.
What’s the difference between an ECM, ECU, and PCM?
These terms are often used interchangeably. ECM (Engine Control Module) and ECU (Engine Control Unit) refer to the computer managing the engine. PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is a more inclusive term for modern modules that control both the engine and the automatic transmission. For this vehicle, the terms effectively refer to the same part.
