Is Your Family’s Minivan Suddenly Unreliable?
There’s nothing more stressful than a family vehicle that won’t start, stalls unexpectedly, or runs rough. Your Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Town & Country is the heart of your family’s daily logistics, and when its core computer fails, everything comes to a grinding halt. You’re likely experiencing frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, or a complete no-start condition. Before you face a massive bill and long wait at the dealership, know that there is a simpler, more affordable solution.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM & Your Direct Solution
If your minivan is showing any of these signs, a faulty Engine Control Module is the most likely culprit. This part is the central computer, and its failure can cause a wide range of problems. This pre-programmed 2008-2010 Caravan ECM is the definitive fix for issues such as:
- Engine stalling or shutting off while driving
- Complete failure to start (no spark or no fuel)
- Noticeable drop in gas mileage
- Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting
- Check Engine Light with codes like P0601, P0606, or other communication errors
- Intermittent electrical problems that seem to have no other cause
Instead of just replacing the part, we provide a complete solution. We program this unit with your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage, making the installation process as simple as swapping the old module for the new one. No trips to the dealer, no special tools, and no additional programming costs.
An Expert’s Note on Your Minivan’s Health: As a technician, I’ve seen firsthand how a failing ECM can cause chaos. It’s not just about the engine; this computer communicates with your transmission, your anti-lock brakes (ABS), and even your airbag system. Driving with a compromised module isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a potential safety concern. Installing a reliable, properly programmed ECM isn’t just a repair; it’s an investment in your family’s safety and your peace of mind on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to program the ECM?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can provide this information during the checkout process. This ensures the 2008-2010 Caravan ECM is a perfect match for your vehicle’s configuration.
Is this installation really plug and play?
Yes. Because we pre-program the module, you will not need to take it to a dealership or mechanic for further flashing. Once installed, your vehicle’s keys will need to be relearned by the system, which is a simple procedure that can be done in your driveway and instructions are included.
How can I be sure my old ECM is the problem?
While a proper diagnosis is always recommended, common signs of ECM failure include a no-start condition where the engine still cranks, stalling for no reason, multiple unrelated error codes, or communication failures with a scan tool. These are strong indicators that the main computer has failed.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal fault within the original ECM (like code P0601), then this replacement unit will solve the problem. If the light is on for another reason (e.g., a bad oxygen sensor), that issue will still need to be addressed separately.
Does this part also fit the Town & Country and Pacifica?
Yes, this ECM is compatible with the 2008-2010 Chrysler Town & Country and the 2008 Chrysler Pacifica, as long as your vehicle is equipped with the 4.0L engine. It is a direct replacement for all part numbers listed in the compatibility chart.
