Restore Your Vehicle’s Brain, Restore Your Drive
Is your 2001 Dodge Intrepid or Chrysler Concorde suffering from baffling electrical issues, a persistent check engine light, or a frustrating no-start condition? A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is the likely culprit, acting like a broken brain for your vehicle’s most critical systems. This can lead to poor fuel economy, erratic shifting, and a car you can’t depend on. Put an end to the guesswork and stress with this professionally programmed ECM, the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s reliability and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty ECM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your solution:
- Check Engine Light (CEL): Particularly for codes like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) or P0605 (Internal Control Module ROM Error).
- No-Start or Intermittent Stalling: The engine cranks but won’t start, or it stalls unexpectedly while driving.
- Poor Engine Performance: Noticeable loss of power, rough idling, hesitation, or misfires.
- Reduced Fuel Economy: The ECM controls the air-fuel mixture, and a failure can cause your car to run rich, wasting gas.
- Communication Errors: Your mechanic’s scan tool is unable to communicate with the engine computer.

An Expert’s Note on Chrysler Immobilizer Systems
“Many DIYers trying to fix a 2001 Intrepid or Concorde grab a computer from a salvage yard, only to find the car still won’t start. That’s because of the factory Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). The original ECM is cryptographically linked to your specific keys. A junkyard ECM is looking for a different key, so it prevents the engine from running. Our programming service correctly syncs this module to your vehicle’s VIN, making the security system accept your existing keys. This is the critical step that makes our module a true plug-and-play solution, saving you the time, money, and headache of a tow to the dealership.”
Don’t let a faulty computer keep your car off the road. By ordering our pre-programmed 2001 Intrepid Concorde 2.7L ECM 04896146AD, you are choosing the most efficient and reliable path to getting your vehicle running right again. It’s the smart fix for the smart driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really a plug-and-play installation?
Yes. We flash the unit with your vehicle’s specific VIN and security information before shipping. This means it will recognize your existing keys and vehicle configuration. Simply disconnect the battery, swap the module, reconnect the battery, and you’re ready to go.
Where is the ECM located on my 2001 Intrepid or Concorde?
The Electronic Control Module is typically located in the engine compartment on the driver’s side (LH front), often near the fender or firewall. It’s a silver metal box with several large electrical connectors.
What information do you need from me to program it?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. The VIN is essential for correct programming and can be found on your dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration/insurance documents.
Will this fix my check engine light?
This ECM will resolve any check engine light and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that are directly caused by a failing internal module, such as P0601. If your CEL is on for another reason (e.g., a bad oxygen sensor), that issue will still need to be addressed separately.
Do I have to send my old computer back?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep your old module or recycle it locally.
