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. This means no additional programming or flashing is required after installation. It is ready to go right out of the box.
What information do you need from me?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and current mileage. Please provide this information during the checkout process to ensure perfect programming.
Will this fix issues like transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The ECM (often part of a Powertrain Control Module or PCM) controls both engine and transmission functions. If the computer is the source of the fault, this replacement part will resolve those shifting issues.
Does this computer fit models with the 2.4L engine?
No, this specific module is programmed exclusively for the 2011-2012 Dodge Journey equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine. Using it on another engine will not work.
Do I need to have my keys reprogrammed?
No. Our programming process syncs the module to your vehicle’s existing security system and keys, so you will not need to perform any key reprogramming procedures.
What is the difference between an ECM, ECU, and PCM?
The terms are often used interchangeably. ECM (Engine Control Module) and ECU (Engine Control Unit) typically refer to the same part. A PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is an integrated unit that controls both the engine and the transmission. For your Journey, this module manages the entire powertrain.
