Restore Peak Performance to Your Jeep or Dodge
Is your 2007-2010 Jeep Compass, Patriot, or Dodge Caliber suffering from baffling electrical issues, a persistent check engine light, or poor engine performance? These frustrating problems often point to a single culprit: a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the central computer, the ‘brain’ of your vehicle, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of issues that can be difficult to diagnose and leave your vehicle unreliable or completely immobile.
Don’t let a faulty computer keep you off the road. This replacement engine control module is the definitive solution to get your vehicle running smoothly again. It’s not just a part; it’s a complete, hassle-free fix. We take the guesswork and complexity out of the repair by programming the module specifically to your vehicle’s VIN and mileage before it ships. This means it arrives at your door ready for a simple, direct installation with no need for expensive dealer visits or specialized programming tools.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Jeep Patriot come in that was driving the owner crazy. It would stall intermittently at stoplights, but only after it had been running for 20+ minutes. There were no consistent trouble codes, just a vague ‘loss of communication’ error that would pop up and disappear. After checking all the usual suspects—wiring, sensors, fuel pump—we focused on the ECM. By carefully applying heat from a heat gun to the module, we were able to replicate the stall every single time. The internal circuits were failing when they got hot. A pre-programmed replacement like this one had the Patriot back on the road the same day, running perfectly, and the owner was thrilled to have their reliable vehicle back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this engine computer truly ‘Plug & Play’?
Absolutely. We professionally program the module with your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage before shipping. This ensures it communicates correctly with your vehicle’s other modules, including the ignition and security systems, right out of the box. No further programming is required.
Where is the ECM located on my 2009 Jeep Patriot?
On the Jeep Patriot, Compass, and Dodge Caliber models from this era, the ECM is typically located in the engine compartment. You can usually find it mounted to the firewall on the driver’s side or near the battery tray. It will be a metal box with several large electrical connectors.
Will this fix a P0601 ‘Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error’ code?
Yes. The P0601 trouble code is a definitive indicator of an internal failure within the ECM itself. The only correct and lasting repair for this code is to replace the module. This programmed replacement is the ideal solution.
What information do you need from me to program it?
During the checkout process, we will require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage displayed on your odometer. This information is critical for ensuring the module is a perfect match for your vehicle’s configuration.
Do I need to do a ‘relearn’ procedure after installation?
In most cases, no extensive relearn procedure is needed. After installation, it’s a good practice to let the vehicle idle for a few minutes to allow the systems to sync. Some vehicles may require a short drive cycle for the transmission and idle to fully adapt, but this happens automatically.
