Frequently Asked Questions
Is this unit truly Plug & Play?
Yes. We use the VIN you provide during checkout to program the module with your vehicle’s exact software and security information. Once you receive it, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the old module for the new one, reconnect the battery, and start the vehicle. No further programming is needed.
What information do I need to provide?
To ensure a perfect Plug & Play experience, we require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your driver’s side door jamb sticker or on your vehicle’s registration/insurance card.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the original ECM (e.g., codes like P0601 – Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error), this replacement unit will solve the problem. It is crucial to ensure that the root cause of the failure is the ECM itself and not a faulty sensor or wiring issue elsewhere in the vehicle.
Do I need to perform a security relearn procedure?
No. Because we program the unit to your specific VIN, the security information is pre-loaded. The vehicle’s immobilizer system will recognize this computer as its own, allowing the engine to start and run without any additional security relearn steps.
Does this fit other vehicles besides the Dodge Journey?
Yes, this 2009-2010 Dodge Journey ECM is also a direct fit for several other vehicles equipped with the 2.4L engine, including the 2009-2010 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler Sebring. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific model and year.
