Is Your Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger Giving You Headaches?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that won’t start, runs poorly, or has baffling electrical issues. If your 2013 Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger is stalling, idling erratically, or displaying a persistent check engine light, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the culprit. Instead of facing expensive dealership diagnostics and programming fees, you can get back on the road quickly and confidently with our pre-programmed, Plug & Play engine computer. This is the simple, reliable fix you’ve been searching for.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty ECM can manifest in various ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your definitive solution:
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start for no apparent reason.
- Stalling and Rough Idle: Your vehicle stalls unexpectedly at stops or idles poorly, making driving unpredictable.
- Erratic Shifting (6-Speed AT): The transmission may shift harshly, get stuck in gear, or fail to shift at all.
- Check Engine Light with Communication Codes: You may see Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0606, or U0100, indicating an internal module or communication failure.
- Poor Fuel Economy & Performance: A noticeable drop in MPG and sluggish acceleration can point directly to a failing computer.
