Is Your Family Minivan Suddenly Unreliable?
There’s nothing more stressful than a vehicle you can’t depend on, especially when you’re responsible for getting your family around safely. If your 2006 Chrysler Town & Country or Dodge Caravan is suddenly stalling, running rough, refusing to start, or showing a persistent check engine light, the problem often points to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical safety and reliability issue. You need a solution that is fast, dependable, and gets you back on the road without the hassle and expense of a dealership visit. This is that solution.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty ECM can create a wide range of frustrating, and often confusing, problems. You might be experiencing one or more of the following issues. If these symptoms sound familiar, this pre-programmed engine computer is the definitive fix you’ve been looking for:
- Erratic stalling or cutting out while driving
- Complete no-start condition (engine cranks but won’t fire)
- Rough or unstable idle
- Poor fuel economy and loss of power
- Harsh or incorrect transmission shifting
- Check Engine Light with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0605, or P0606 (Internal Control Module Failure)

Expert Insight: The “Ghost in the Machine” Fixed
“We had a customer with a 2006 Caravan used for their family business. They were chasing an intermittent stalling problem for months. It would die at stoplights without warning, but not always. They replaced sensors and checked wiring, but the ‘ghost’ remained. The real issue was the original ECM’s internal processor was failing under specific temperature conditions. It’s a classic failure pattern for these modules. Once we installed a properly programmed 2006 Town & Country engine computer, the problem vanished instantly. The family regained not just a running vehicle, but the confidence to trust it for their livelihood and daily trips. That’s the peace of mind a reliable ECM provides.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to program the computer?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration or insurance documents. Please provide this information during checkout.
Is this really 100% Plug and Play?
Yes. Because we flash the module with your vehicle’s specific VIN and software before shipping, it will integrate seamlessly with your existing keys and other electronic modules. No further programming or dealer intervention is necessary.
Where is the ECM located on my 2006 Town & Country or Caravan?
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) on these models is located in the engine bay, typically on the driver’s side (LH) fender, near the battery and behind the headlight.
Do I need to send my old computer back?
No. There is no core charge or requirement to return your old, faulty module. This simplifies the process for you.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The ECM plays a crucial role in controlling the transmission’s shift points. If your original ECM is failing, it can send incorrect signals, leading to poor shifting. A new, properly functioning ECM often resolves these communication-based transmission issues.
How does the one-year replacement warranty work?
If the module fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a direct replacement. Simply contact us with your order information, and we will guide you through the straightforward replacement process.
