Restore Your Avenger’s Performance and Reliability
Is your Dodge Avenger suffering from frustrating issues like stalling, poor fuel economy, a persistent check engine light, or a complete no-start condition?

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ‘Plug & Play’ actually mean?
It means the module we send you is pre-programmed with your car’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the latest software updates. Once you receive it, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the old module with the new one, reconnect the battery, and start the car. No additional programming or dealer intervention is necessary.
Do I need to send you my old computer (core)?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep or recycle your old module at your convenience.
Where can I find my car’s VIN?
Your 17-digit VIN can be found on your vehicle’s registration, your insurance card, or on a small plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard, visible through the windshield.
My car has a security key (immobilizer). Will this work?
Yes. By programming the module to your VIN, we ensure it correctly syncs with your vehicle’s existing anti-theft and immobilizer system. Your original keys will work perfectly.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
This 2008-2010 Dodge Avenger ECM is the direct solution for internal module failure codes like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) and other communication-related faults. If your codes point to a faulty computer, this part is designed to resolve them.
What should I do right after installing the new ECM?
After installation, it’s a good practice to let the vehicle idle for 5-10 minutes to allow all the electronic systems to re-sync. You may then drive the vehicle normally. Any stored trouble codes should be cleared with a standard OBD2 scanner.
