Is Your Dodge Avenger Running Rough? Get Back on the Road with Confidence.
There’s nothing more frustrating than a car you can’t rely on. If your 2008-2010 Dodge Avenger is experiencing baffling issues like stalling, a persistent check engine light, or erratic performance, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the hidden culprit. You need a solution that’s not just a part, but a complete fix. This pre-programmed engine computer is engineered to restore your vehicle’s original performance and reliability, getting your daily driver back to being the dependable car you need it to be.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct Solution
A faulty ECM can manifest in numerous ways that can be misdiagnosed, costing you time and money on unnecessary repairs. If you’re noticing any of the following, this module is your definitive solution:
- Unexplained Check Engine Light (CEL) with various codes
- Stalling, stumbling, or hesitation during acceleration
- Poor fuel economy and rough idling
- Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools
- No-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire
- Erratic automatic transmission shifting
Instead of continuing the guesswork, install a component you can trust. This is the correct fix for a failing computer in your 2008-2010 Dodge Avenger ECM, designed for a seamless installation process.
An Expert’s Note: We often see customers who have replaced multiple sensors (like camshaft or crankshaft position sensors) only to have the same error codes return. This is a classic sign that the ECM itself is the root cause, as it’s failing to properly process the signals from perfectly good parts. This pre-programmed ECM solves that core problem, saving you from chasing phantom issues and replacing parts that aren’t broken.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Plug & Play” actually mean for me?
It means the installation is as simple as it gets. Once you provide us with your vehicle’s VIN and mileage during checkout, we program the computer specifically for your car. When it arrives, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the old module with this new one, reconnect the battery, and you’re ready to go. No additional programming or calibration is needed.
Do I need to send my old computer back (as a core)?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your old module at your convenience.
Will this work for my 2009 Chrysler Sebring or Dodge Journey?
Yes. This ECM is compatible with the 2.4L engine in the 2008-2010 Chrysler Sebring and the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey, in addition to the 2008-2010 Dodge Avenger. It covers all the part numbers listed in the description, making it a versatile and reliable solution for these models.
What information do you need from me to program it?
We need 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 (viewable through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration or insurance card. This ensures the 2008-2010 Dodge Avenger ECM is a perfect match for your car’s factory settings.
Can a bad ECM cause transmission problems?
Absolutely. The ECM works in close concert with the Transmission Control Module (TCM). A faulty ECM can send incorrect data, leading to harsh shifting, delayed engagement, or the transmission going into “limp mode.” Replacing a bad ECM often resolves these related transmission symptoms.
How can I be sure my part number is compatible?
We’ve provided an extensive list of compatible OEM part numbers. If your existing module’s part number is on our list, this unit is a guaranteed direct replacement. If you can’t find your number, feel free to contact us with your VIN, and we will confirm the correct fitment for you.
