Is your family’s Caravan, Town & Country, or Pacifica giving you headaches with stalling, rough running, or a frustrating no-start condition? A failing engine computer can bring your daily routine to a halt, creating stress and uncertainty. You need a solution that is reliable, straightforward, and gets you back on the road without expensive dealership programming. This pre-programmed Engine Control Module (ECM) is the definitive answer, designed to restore your minivan’s performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
The ECM is the brain of your vehicle, controlling everything from fuel mixture and spark timing to transmission shifting. When it fails, the symptoms can be confusing and varied. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty module is the likely culprit:
- Check Engine Light: Persistent illumination, often with communication error codes like U0100 or internal processor codes like P0606.
- Engine Performance Issues: Stalling for no reason, rough or erratic idling, hesitation during acceleration, and a noticeable drop in fuel economy.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, even with a good battery and fuel supply.
- Erratic Transmission Behavior: Harsh shifting, getting stuck in gear, or a failure to shift properly, as the ECM works in tandem with the transmission controller.
This module is the direct solution to these problems. It’s not just a part; it’s a complete fix. By replacing your old, failing unit with our precisely programmed 2008-2010 Caravan 4.0L ECM, you are restoring the central command system of your vehicle to perfect working order.

An Expert’s Insight on Programming
From over 20 years in the shop, I’ve seen countless drivers waste time and money on ECMs that weren’t programmed correctly. An unprogrammed module is just a metal box. Our meticulous programming process ensures this computer has the exact factory software your minivan needs to manage the engine, transmission, and fuel systems perfectly from the moment you turn the key. It’s the critical difference between a temporary patch and a lasting, reliable solution for your vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does “Plug & Play” mean?
“Plug & Play” means the engine computer comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). All you have to do is disconnect the battery, physically swap the old module with this new one, and reconnect the battery. No additional programming or dealer intervention is needed.
Do I need to send my old computer (core) back?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep or responsibly dispose of your old module.
How do I find my original part number to confirm compatibility?
Your original part number is printed on a sticker on the housing of your current ECM. While this unit is compatible with all part numbers listed in the description, you do not need to match them exactly, as we program it based on your VIN.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM (common with codes like P0600-P0606 or U-series communication codes), this part is the correct fix. However, if the light is on for another reason, such as a bad sensor, that separate issue will still need to be addressed.
What information do you need from me to program it?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN and the current mileage. This ensures the programming is a perfect match for your minivan’s specific configuration and options.
Is this the correct 2008-2010 Caravan 4.0L ECM for my vehicle?
Yes, this engine computer is the correct fit for the 2008-2010 Dodge Caravan, 2008-2010 Chrysler Town & Country, and 2008 Chrysler Pacifica, specifically for models equipped with the 4.0L V6 engine.
