Get Your Dodge Avenger Running Right Again
Is your 2008 Dodge Avenger giving you headaches with unpredictable stalling, a persistent check engine light, or a frustrating no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the brain of your vehicle, and when it falters, it can cause a cascade of confusing and costly problems. Instead of dealing with expensive dealership diagnostics and programming fees, you can get a reliable, straightforward solution delivered right to your door.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty engine computer can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing ECM is a likely culprit:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with codes that won’t clear
- Engine stalling or sputtering unexpectedly
- Difficulty starting the engine, or it won’t start at all
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy
- Poor engine performance, hesitation, or misfires
- Communication error codes (U-series DTCs)
This pre-programmed 2008 Dodge Avenger ECM is the definitive solution. We take the guesswork out of the repair by flashing the unit with your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage before it ships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this engine computer truly Plug & Play?
Yes. We program the unit using the VIN you provide during checkout. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your car’s existing systems, like the ignition and anti-theft (SKIM), right out of the box. No additional programming is needed.
How do I find my original part number?
Your part number is printed on a sticker on the casing of your current ECM. While this unit replaces many part numbers, matching it is a great way to confirm fitment. This unit is a direct replacement for part number 05033708AF and many others listed in the compatibility chart.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the ECM, this part will resolve the issue. After installation, it’s always a good practice to clear any stored codes with a standard OBD-II scanner. If the light returns, it may indicate a separate issue with a sensor or other component.
What information do you need from me?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to program the module correctly. Please provide it during the checkout process to ensure a seamless Plug & Play experience.
Does this fit vehicles other than the 2008 Dodge Avenger?
Yes, this 2008 Dodge Avenger ECM is also compatible with the 2007-2008 Chrysler Sebring equipped with either the 2.7L or 3.5L engine. Please check the detailed fitment list to confirm it’s the right part for your specific vehicle.
