Is Your Family Minivan Sidelined?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle you rely on every day suddenly acting up. If your 2006 Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Town & Country is experiencing baffling issues like stalling at stoplights, refusing to start, or running rough with the check engine light glaring at you, the problem often points to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a disruption to your family’s routine. This pre-programmed 2006 Dodge Caravan ECM is the simple, reliable, and affordable solution to get you back on the road with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need from me to program the ECM?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage. Please provide this information during the checkout process to ensure the module is programmed correctly for a Plug & Play installation.
Is this really a “Plug and Play” part?
Yes, absolutely. “Plug and Play” means we handle all the necessary programming before the part ships. Once you receive it, you simply install it, and your vehicle will start and run without needing a trip to the dealership for further programming.
Will this computer work for both the 3.3L and 3.8L engines?
Yes, this ECM is compatible with 2006 Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country models equipped with either the 3.3L or 3.8L V6 engine. We program it based on your VIN to match your specific vehicle’s configuration.
My van is shifting hard. Can the ECM cause this?
Yes. In these minivans, the Engine Control Module also contains the logic for the transmission, often called a Powertrain Control Module (PCM). A failing module can absolutely cause poor shifting, hesitation, or other transmission-related symptoms.
How do I find my original part number to check compatibility?
Your original part number is printed on a sticker on the ECM itself. It is located on the driver’s side fender, under the hood. While this unit is compatible with all the part numbers listed, we program based on your VIN, which is the most accurate method.
What kind of warranty is included?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. This gives you peace of mind that you are receiving a quality, dependable part for your vehicle.
