An Expert’s Note: We recently helped a customer, a busy mom named Sarah, whose 2006 Town & Country had become her biggest source of stress. It would stall randomly in traffic, and she was afraid to drive it with her kids. The dealer quoted her over $1200 for a new computer and programming. She ordered our pre-programmed module, and her husband installed it in their driveway in about 45 minutes. She called us the next day, overjoyed that her van was running like new. That’s the peace of mind we deliverโa reliable vehicle and significant savings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Plug & Play” actually mean for me?
It means the computer is ready to install and function the moment you receive it. We pre-load it with your vehicle’s specific VIN, mileage, and immobilizer (security) information, so it syncs with your keys and other modules perfectly. You simply disconnect the old unit, connect this one, and start the engine. No extra steps are needed.
Where is this ECM located on my 2006 Town & Country or Caravan?
You’ll find the Engine Control Module in the engine bay, typically mounted to the driver’s side (LH) inner fender, near the battery and air filter box. It has three large electrical connectors.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
This module is the definitive fix for internal processor failure codes, such as P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error).
