Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Plug & Play” actually mean?
It means the engine computer is ready for installation right out of the box. We pre-program it with your car’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the latest software updates. Once you install it, you just need to connect the battery, and the car will start and run correctly without any need for a trip to the dealership for additional programming.
What information do you need from me?
To ensure perfect programming, we require your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN at checkout. This allows us to flash the module with the exact software and settings your Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger needs to function properly.
Will this fit my 2013 Dodge Avenger?
Yes, this ECM is fully compatible with the 2013 Dodge Avenger equipped with the 2.4L engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. It serves as a direct replacement for the part numbers listed in the product details.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, many of our customers with basic mechanical skills can install this part. The process typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old ECM, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in the reverse order. However, if you are not comfortable working on your vehicle, we always recommend professional installation by a qualified mechanic.
How can I be sure my original ECM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, the best way to be certain is through a professional diagnosis. A mechanic can check for communication errors with the ECM (U-codes) and rule out other potential issues like wiring or sensor faults. A faulty 2013 Chrysler 200 2.4L ECM often causes multiple, unrelated error codes to appear simultaneously.
