Get Your Family’s Minivan Back on the Road
Is your 2006 Chrysler Town & Country or Dodge Caravan giving you headaches? A stalling engine, a persistent check engine light, or a vehicle that won’t start at all can disrupt your family’s entire schedule.

- Complete no-start condition (engine cranks but won’t fire)

An Expert’s Diagnostic Tip
Many owners of these minivans spend hundreds chasing down what they believe are bad sensors or fuel pumps when the ECM is the real problem. A failing computer can send false signals, making it seem like other parts have failed. If you’re getting multiple, unrelated error codes or the issues are intermittent and hard to pin down, it’s a strong indicator that the central brainโthe 2006 Town & Country engine computerโis the component that needs attention. This replacement can save you from buying parts you don’t actually need.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Plug & Play” actually mean?
It means the engine computer you receive is ready for immediate installation without any extra steps. We pre-program it with your vehicle’s specific VIN and security information, so it will communicate with your minivan’s systems correctly as soon as you plug it in and turn the key.
Where is this computer located on my 2006 Town & Country?
The Electronic Control Module is located in the engine bay, typically mounted to the driver’s side (LH) fender well. It’s a silver metal box with three large electrical connectors. Access is straightforward for a DIY installation.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal fault within the original engine computer, then yes, this part is designed to resolve that. After installation, it’s always a good practice to clear any old codes with a standard OBD-II scanner.
Do I need to send my old computer back (core charge)?
Please check the specific terms of your purchase on the product page or in your cart. Core charge policies can vary, but this information will be clearly stated before you complete your order.
Is this compatible with both the 3.3L and 3.8L engines?
Yes, this 2006 Town & Country engine computer is compatible with vehicles equipped with either the 3.3L or 3.8L V6 engine. During the programming process, we load the correct software file for the engine specified in your VIN.
