For these Chrysler and Dodge minivans, the ECM is not just an engine controller; it’s deeply integrated with the vehicle’s security system (the immobilizer).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module really “Plug & Play”?
Yes, absolutely. We use the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) you provide during checkout to program the module. This ensures it matches your vehicle’s specific configuration and security settings, allowing you to install it without any further programming.
How do I find my original part number?
Your original part number is printed on a white sticker on the ECM itself. The module is typically located on the driver’s side fender in the engine bay. Matching your number to the extensive list provided in our description ensures you are ordering the correct part.
What information do you need from me to program it?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN to program the module correctly. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard visible through the windshield.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated codes are caused by a faulty ECM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. However, it is crucial to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to confirm the ECM is the point of failure. This part will not fix problems related to other faulty sensors or mechanical issues.
What if I have an aftermarket key?
Our programming is based on the original factory security information tied to your VIN. In the vast majority of cases, it works seamlessly with both original and properly cloned aftermarket keys. If you encounter a security light after installation, a simple key relearn procedure may be necessary.
