An Expert’s Insight on ECM Failure
As a technician, I’ve seen countless ECMs for these Aspen and Durango models. They are typically mounted in the engine bay, on the passenger-side fender. Over a decade of exposure to engine heat, vibration, and moisture can take its toll on the delicate internal circuits and solder points. Often, the failure isn’t sudden but gradual—starting as an intermittent stall or a random warning light. Replacing it with a properly programmed unit like this one isn’t just about fixing the current problem; it’s about installing a reliable foundation for your engine’s management system for years to come.
