Programmed 2007-2010 Compass Engine Computer ECM ECU 68043260AC

Is Your Jeep Compass Stalling, Misfiring, or Refusing to Start?

As a technician with over two decades of experience under the hood, I’ve seen countless drivers frustrated by erratic vehicle behavior. A flickering check engine light, sudden stalling at a stoplight, or a car that just won’t turn over can ruin your day. More often than not, especially in vehicles like the 2007-2010 Jeep Compass, Patriot, and Dodge Caliber, the root cause is a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that sidelines your vehicle. You need a reliable, straightforward solution to get back on the road, and that’s exactly what this is.

Common Symptoms of a Failing 2007-2010 Compass Engine Computer

If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty engine computer is a very likely culprit. In my shop, these are the classic signs I look for when diagnosing these specific vehicles:

• ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related codes (U-codes).
• ✔ The engine cranks but will not start.
• ✔ Intermittent stalling while driving or when coming to a stop.
• ✔ Noticeable drop in fuel efficiency.
• ✔ Rough or erratic engine idle.
• ✔ Automatic transmission shifting issues.

Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required

You can perform this replacement yourself with basic hand tools. Here’s a general guide to get you started:

1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes for the system to discharge.
2. Locate the ECM: On the 2007-2010 Compass, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, often mounted to the firewall or inner fender.
3. Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical harness connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be released. Then, unbolt the old module from its mounting bracket.
4. Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed ECM into place. Firmly reconnect the electrical harnesses, ensuring they click securely into position.
5. Reconnect and Verify: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10 seconds before starting the engine to allow the systems to initialize. Start your vehicle and enjoy a smooth-running engine.
