Restore Your Avenger’s Performance and Reliability
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable issues with your 2008 Dodge Avenger or 2007-2008 Chrysler Sebring? A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) can turn a reliable daily driver into a source of constant stress.

This replacement engine computer arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN, offering a true Plug & Play installation that gets you back on the road without an expensive trip to the dealership.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing ECM can manifest in various ways, often mimicking other sensor or component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty module is the likely culprit:
- Check Engine Light: Persistent illumination, especially with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U0100.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, or starts and immediately stalls.
- Poor Performance: Noticeable loss of power, hesitation during acceleration, and decreased fuel economy.
- Erratic Shifting: The transmission may shift harshly, get stuck in gear, or behave unpredictably.
- Intermittent Stalling: The engine shuts off unexpectedly while driving or idling.
This pre-programmed 2008 Dodge Avenger engine computer is the direct answer to these problems. We handle all the complex programming for you, so you can perform the repair with confidence, whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or having your trusted local mechanic do the work.

An Expert’s Note on Installation
“Before you install your new 2008 Dodge Avenger engine computer, take a moment to inspect your vehicle’s battery terminals and main engine ground straps. A weak or corroded connection can cause voltage drops that mimic the symptoms of a bad ECM. Ensuring you have a clean, tight, and fully charged electrical system is the single most important step you can take to guarantee a successful and lasting repair. It’s a 5-minute check that can save you hours of headache.”
By providing your VIN at checkout, you ensure that the 2008 Dodge Avenger engine computer you receive is perfectly matched to your vehicleās specific configuration. This critical step guarantees seamless communication between the module and all other systems in your car, from the engine and transmission to the anti-lock brakes and security system.
