Is Your Trusted Minivan Suddenly Unreliable?
There’s nothing more frustrating than when your dependable family haulerโthe vehicle you count on for school runs, grocery trips, and family vacationsโstarts acting up.

An Expert’s Note: We recently worked with a customer named Mark who was ready to sell his ’98 Caravan for scrap. It had an intermittent no-start issue that two different shops couldn’t solve, and he was tired of throwing money at it. He suspected the computer but was hesitant about the cost of a new one from the dealer. He ordered our pre-programmed 1998 Town & Country Engine Computer 04727154AJ, installed it in his driveway in under 30 minutes, and the van fired right up. He called us, overjoyed that his reliable workhorse was back in action for a fraction of what he expected to pay. That’s the difference a simple, correct part can make.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Plug & Play” actually mean for me?
It means the engine computer you receive is ready for immediate installation. We flash it with your vehicle’s unique VIN and current mileage before shipping. Once you install it and connect the battery, you can start the vehicle and drive away without any need for a dealer’s scan tool or special programming procedures.
What information do you need from me when I order?
During the checkout process, we will ask for your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and the current mileage. This is essential for us to program the unit correctly for your specific van.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal failure of the original computer (common codes include P0601 – Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error), this replacement unit will resolve the issue. However, if the light is on for another reason, such as a faulty sensor, that issue will still need to be addressed separately.
How can I be sure this is the right part for my minivan?
This 1998 Town & Country Engine Computer 04727154AJ is specifically for the 1998 Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, and Plymouth Voyager equipped with the 3.3L (6-201) low-emissions gasoline engine. You can also match the part number on your existing computer to the list of compatible numbers provided in our description.
Do I need to send my old computer (core) back?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your old module as you see fit.
