Is Your 2015 Charger, Challenger, or 300 Running Rough?
If your 2015 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, or Chrysler 300 equipped with the reliable 3.6L Pentastar V6 is suddenly giving you trouble, the root cause might be the very brain of the operation: the Engine Control Module (ECM). A failing ECM can manifest in a variety of frustrating ways, from poor performance and abysmal fuel economy to a complete no-start condition that leaves you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical component failure that compromises your vehicle’s reliability and performance. Don’t let a faulty computer dictate your driving experience. This pre-programmed engine computer is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your vehicle back on the road, running exactly as it should.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Challenger 3.6L come into the shop with a bizarre issue. The customer complained of intermittent stalling at stoplights and a check engine light with a code for a transmission solenoid circuit. They had already replaced the solenoid pack at another shop, but the problem persisted. After hours of chasing wires and checking voltages, we finally scoped the signals coming from the ECM. We discovered the driver for that specific solenoid circuit inside the computer was failing intermittently, sending erratic signals. It wasn’t a transmission problem at all; it was a classic case of a faulty ECM masquerading as something else. Installing a pre-programmed unit like this one solved the problem in under 20 minutes, saving the customer from further expensive and incorrect repairs.
Symptoms of a Failing 3.6L Engine Computer
- ✔ Unexplained Check Engine Light (CEL) illumination, often with communication-related (U-codes) or processor fault codes (P06xx).
- ✔ Stalling, stumbling, or hesitation during acceleration.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency.
- ✔ Rough or erratic idling.
- ✔ Difficulty starting the engine or a complete no-start condition.
- ✔ Automatic transmission shifting issues, such as harsh shifts or getting stuck in gear.
- ✔ Misfire codes that persist even after replacing spark plugs and ignition coils.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this unit truly Plug and Play?
Yes. We program the module using your vehicle’s VIN before shipping it. This flashing process writes all the necessary software and security information to the computer, so it will be ready for immediate installation and operation without any further steps required.
What information do you need from me to program it?
During the checkout process, we will require your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. This is crucial for correct programming. We also ask for your vehicle’s current mileage to ensure the odometer reading remains accurate.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the original ECM, then this replacement part will resolve the issue. However, if the light is on due to a faulty sensor or another component on the vehicle, that separate issue will still need to be addressed. It is always recommended to properly diagnose the codes before ordering.
Where is the ECM located on my 2015 Charger, Challenger, or 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 is a silver metal box with three large electrical connectors.
How can I be certain my original ECM has failed?
Confirming an ECM failure involves ruling out other potential causes first (sensors, wiring, etc.). Common indicators of a bad ECM include multiple unrelated error codes, communication failures with a scan tool, or symptoms that persist after related parts have been replaced. If you’re unsure, consulting a professional technician for a definitive diagnosis is a good idea.
