Restore Your SUV’s Power and Reliability
Is your 2008-2009 Chrysler Aspen or Dodge Durango suffering from frustrating and unpredictable issues? A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the hidden culprit behind problems like stalling, erratic shifting, poor fuel economy, or a complete no-start condition. Instead of facing a costly and time-consuming visit to the dealership, take control of your repair with our pre-programmed engine computer. This isn’t just a part; it’s the definitive solution to get your trusted SUV back on the road, running exactly as it should.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing ECM is the likely cause:
- Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U0100, U0101, or internal processor fault codes such as P0601, P0605, or P0606.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but won’t fire up, or there’s no spark or fuel injector pulse.
- Poor Performance: Noticeable loss of power, hesitation during acceleration, and decreased gas mileage.
- Erratic Shifting: The transmission may shift harshly, get stuck in gear, or seem to hunt for the right gear.
- Stalling: The engine cuts out unexpectedly, either at idle or while driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Plug & Play” actually mean for this ECM?
It means the engine computer will arrive at your door fully programmed with your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage. All you need to do is disconnect the battery, swap the old module with this new one, and reconnect the battery. No further programming or trips to the dealer are necessary.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN and mileage?
You will be prompted to enter your vehicle’s VIN and current mileage during the checkout process. This information is crucial for us to program the module correctly for your specific Aspen or Durango.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The ECM works directly with the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Faulty signals or internal failures in the ECM can cause harsh shifting, delayed engagement, or incorrect gear selection. If your mechanic has diagnosed the issue as an ECM failure, this part is designed to correct those communication errors.
Do I need to send my old computer back?
