Frequently Asked Questions
Is this engine computer truly plug-and-play?
Yes. We program the module using the VIN you provide during checkout. This ensures that it has the correct software and security information for your specific vehicle, allowing it to work immediately after installation without any need for a trip to the dealership.
How do I provide my VIN and mileage?
You can enter your vehicle’s VIN and current mileage in the designated fields on the product page or during the checkout process. It’s crucial that this information is accurate to ensure perfect programming.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal failure of the original ECM (e.g., codes P0601, P0606), then this replacement part will solve the problem. After installation, it’s always a good practice to clear any old codes with a standard OBD-II scanner.

On the 2009 Dodge Dakota, the ECM is typically located in the engine compartment, mounted to the passenger side firewall. Always disconnect the battery before attempting to remove or install the module.
