Is Your Dodge Avenger Running Rough?
Are you dealing with a persistent check engine light, sudden stalling, or a car that just won’t start? These frustrating issues often point directly to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). For owners of a 2008-2010 Dodge Avenger, Sebring, or Journey, a faulty engine computer can turn a reliable daily driver into a source of constant stress. Instead of facing expensive diagnostic fees and programming costs at the dealership, you have a smarter, more direct solution. This is the definitive fix to restore your vehicle’s performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct-Fit Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in various ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this pre-programmed engine computer is the solution you need:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL)
- Engine stalling or misfiring, especially when warm
- Complete no-start condition
- Poor fuel economy and reduced engine power
- Communication error codes (like U0100)
- Internal processor failure codes (like P0601, P0606)
- Erratic transmission shifting behavior

An Expert’s Insight: As a technician, I’ve seen countless Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles from this era with frustrating electronic issues. The problem is often the engine computer itself. Drivers spend a fortune replacing sensors and wiring, only to find the root cause was the ECM. The real win here is the pre-programming. A dealership can charge over an hour of labor just to flash a new computer. This unit eliminates that step entirely, making it a favorite repair for both DIYers and professional shops looking to provide a fast, reliable, and affordable fix for their customers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this engine computer truly “Plug & Play”?
Yes. We use the VIN you provide during checkout to flash the module with your vehicle’s exact software and security information. Once installed, it will function immediately without any further programming needed.
What information do you need from me to program it?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration or insurance card.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
This 2008-2010 Avenger 2.4L Engine Computer is guaranteed to fit the models listed in the compatibility chart. It also replaces a long list of original part numbers. If your vehicle and part number are listed, this is the correct part for you.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM (with codes like P0601, P0606, or communication errors), this part will resolve the issue. However, if the light is on due to other failing components (like an oxygen sensor or catalytic converter), those issues will still need to be addressed separately.
