Expert Insight: Why ‘Plug & Play’ is Crucial
From our 20+ years of experience, we know the Chrysler LH platform vehicles, like your Intrepid, have a specific anti-theft system (SKIM) that pairs the ECM to the vehicle’s keys. Simply installing a used computer from another car will result in a no-start condition. The P0601 code you might be seeing is a fatal internal processor fault that cannot be repaired. Our pre-programming service correctly pairs this 2002 Dodge Intrepid 3.5L ECM 04606873AA to your VIN before it ships, ensuring the anti-theft system recognizes it and allows the car to start and run perfectly upon installation.
Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. We professionally program the computer with your vehicle’s unique VIN and mileage. Once you receive it, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the old module with the new one (located in the LH front engine compartment), and reconnect the battery. No further programming is needed.
What information do you need from me after I order?
After you place your order, we will need your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. This ensures we can program the unit perfectly for your specific car.

This ECM is the definitive fix for internal module fault codes, most commonly P0601. If your diagnostics have pointed to a failed engine computer, this part will resolve those related codes and restore proper function.

No. There is no core charge or requirement to return your old part. You can recycle it locally at your convenience.
