An Expert’s Note for the DIYer: The engine computer in these minivans is located on the driver’s side (LH) fender, making it one of the more accessible modules to replace. A common point of failure is internal solder joint cracking from years of heat cycles and vibration. When you install our pre-programmed 2003 Dodge Caravan 2.4L Engine Computer, you’re not just replacing a part; you’re installing a component that has been correctly configured to communicate with every other module in your vehicle, from the transmission to the instrument cluster, right out of the box. This is a crucial step that many overlook when buying a used part.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this engine computer truly “Plug and Play”?
Yes. We use the VIN you provide during checkout to flash the module with your vehicle’s exact software and security information. Once you receive it, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the old computer with the new one, reconnect the battery, and you’re ready to go. No further programming is necessary.
Where is this part located on my 2003 Caravan?
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) is located in the engine bay, mounted to the driver’s side (LH) fender. It is typically a silver metal box with three large electrical connectors.
