Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really a Plug & Play installation?
Yes. Because we program the engine computer to your car’s exact Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before shipping, it will integrate seamlessly with your existing keys and modules. No further programming is required. In most cases, a simple battery disconnect/reconnect procedure is all that’s needed after installation.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will need your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN to ensure we flash the module with the correct software for your specific engine, transmission, and options. Your mileage will also be programmed into the unit.
How do I find the correct part number on my old ECM?
Your original part number is typically on a sticker on the outside of the metal computer housing. However, this unit is compatible with a long list of part numbers for the 2007-2010 Caliber, Patriot, and Compass. As long as your vehicle is within this range, our VIN programming ensures it will work, even if the part number doesn’t match exactly.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
This 2007-2010 Dodge Caliber engine computer is the direct solution for codes related to internal processor failure, module communication errors (U-codes), and other specific ECM faults. While it can resolve many issues, it’s always best to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to confirm the ECM is the root cause of the problem before ordering.
What is the difference between an ECM, ECU, and PCM?
The terms are often used interchangeably. ECM (Engine Control Module) and ECU (Engine Control Unit) typically refer to the same component. PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is a type of ECM that also controls the transmission. For your vehicle, this module serves as the central computer for the entire powertrain.
