Get Your Dodge Journey Running Right Again
Is your 2009 or 2010 Dodge Journey giving you headaches with a persistent check engine light, stalling, rough idling, or a frustrating no-start condition? It’s a stressful experience when your reliable family vehicle is suddenly out of commission. This professionally serviced Engine Control Module (ECM) is the simple, direct solution to restore its performance and get you back to your daily routine without the high cost and hassle of a dealership visit.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct Solution
A failing ECM can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty engine computer is the likely culprit:
- Erratic engine performance, including misfires and poor acceleration
- Reduced fuel economy
- Automatic transmission shifting issues
- Communication error codes (U-codes)
- Specific Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0605, or P0606
- The vehicle won’t start, even with a good battery and starter
These issues often point directly to an internal failure in the engine computer. Our expertly serviced 2009-2010 Dodge Journey ECM is the definitive answer. It arrives programmed specifically for your vehicle’s unique VIN and mileage, making the installation process straightforward and eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for coding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module truly “Plug and Play”?
Absolutely. During checkout, we require your vehicle’s VIN. We use this information to flash the module with your vehicle’s specific software and security information. When it arrives, you simply install it, and it’s ready to go.
How can I be sure my ECM is the problem?
The symptoms listed above are strong indicators of a failing ECM. Common trouble codes like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) are a definitive sign. However, we always recommend having a qualified mechanic perform a full vehicle diagnosis before ordering to rule out other potential issues like wiring or sensor faults.
What information do you need from me to program it?
We need your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Do I need to send my old computer (core) back?
No, a core return is not required for this part, which saves you the time and expense of shipping your old unit back to us.
Will this fit other vehicles besides the Dodge Journey?
Yes, this ECM is also compatible with specific 2008-2010 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler Sebring models equipped with the 2.4L engine. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your exact vehicle and original part number.
