Is Your 2015 Dodge or Chrysler Stalling, Misfiring, or Refusing to Start?
If you’re experiencing frustrating and unpredictable issues with your 2015 Dodge Charger, Challenger, or Chrysler 300 equipped with the 3.6L engine, the root cause is often a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that can be difficult to diagnose and leave you stranded. This pre-programmed engine computer is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance, reliability, and drivability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Chrysler 300 3.6L towed in last month with a classic no-start condition. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. When we connected our scan tool, we couldn’t communicate with the powertrain control module at all – a dead giveaway. After verifying the ECM had proper power and ground, we knew the internal processor had failed. Instead of a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealer, we installed one of these pre-programmed units. We provided the VIN, plugged it in, and the car fired right up on the first try. It’s a straightforward fix that saves customers time and money.
Why Choose Our Programmed 2015 Charger Engine Computer?
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the guesswork and additional cost out of the repair process. Each module is professionally programmed with your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage. This critical step ensures that all vehicle systems, including the anti-theft immobilizer and electronic throttle control, function correctly right out of the box. You can bypass the dealership’s expensive programming fees and lengthy service appointments. This is a true Plug & Play component designed for a seamless installation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
A faulty engine computer can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following issues, it’s a strong indicator that your ECM may need replacement:
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) that won’t clear, often with communication-related fault codes (U-codes).
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or hesitating, especially under load or when coming to a stop.
- ✔ Unexplained drops in fuel economy.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ The engine cranks but refuses to start.
- ✔ Misfire codes on one or multiple cylinders that aren’t resolved by replacing plugs or coils.
- ✔ Loss of power to fuel injectors or ignition coils.
- ✔ Cooling fans running constantly or not turning on at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Plug & Play” mean for this ECM?
Plug & Play means the unit arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage. You simply need to disconnect the battery, physically swap the old module with the new one, and reconnect the battery. No additional programming or dealer visits are required to get your car started and running correctly.
How do I provide my VIN and mileage for programming?
After you place your order, you will be prompted to provide your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN and current mileage. You can typically find your VIN on the driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents. This information is essential for us to program the module correctly.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to a fault within the original ECM, then yes, this replacement will resolve the issue and the light. However, if the light is caused by another failing sensor or component on the vehicle, that separate issue will still need to be addressed.
Is this compatible with all the listed part numbers?
Yes. This module is a fully compatible replacement for all the part numbers listed in the description. Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep often update part numbers over time; this unit covers the full range of specified numbers for the 2015 3.6L platform.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Basic hand tools are all that’s required for the physical installation. Typically, you will need a socket set to disconnect the battery terminal and to unbolt the module from its mounting bracket. The electrical connectors have simple locking tabs that can be released by hand or with a small flathead screwdriver.
