Frequently Asked Questions
Is this 2006 Dodge Caravan ECM really ‘Plug and Play’?
Absolutely. We use the VIN you provide during checkout to flash the module with your vehicle’s exact software and security information. When it arrives, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the old module with the new one, reconnect the battery, and start the engine. No further programming is needed.
What information do you need from me?
To ensure perfect programming, we require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically provide this during the checkout process.
Will this fix my check engine light?
This ECM will resolve any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and check engine lights that are directly caused by an internal failure of the computer itself (such as P0600-P0606 codes). If the light is on due to a separate mechanical or sensor issue (like a bad oxygen sensor), that part will still need to be addressed.
How do I find my current part number?
Your original part number is printed on a sticker on the housing of your current ECM. While this unit replaces many part numbers, confirming your original can provide extra peace of mind. Our unit is compatible with the extensive list provided in the product details.
Does this fit both the Caravan and the Town & Country?
Yes, this ECM is compatible with both the 2006 Dodge Caravan and the 2006 Chrysler Town & Country models equipped with either the 3.3L or 3.8L engine, as specified in the fitment guide.
