An Expert’s Note: The Hidden Cost of a Bad ECM
“I once had a customer with a 2013 Avenger that would randomly stall in traffic—a truly unsafe situation. They had already replaced the battery and alternator, but the problem persisted. The dealership quoted them over $1200 for a new computer plus programming. We provided them with one of our pre-programmed units. The customer, a dad with a tight budget, was able to install it himself in under an hour in his own driveway. The relief in his voice when he called to say the car was running perfectly was immense. This isn’t just about fixing a car; it’s about providing a simple, affordable solution that gives people their dependable transportation back.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module is completely Plug & Play. We handle all the programming before it ships. All you need to do is install it, and you’re ready to go. A simple battery disconnect/reconnect cycle after installation is all that’s needed.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will need your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. This ensures we can program the module perfectly for your specific car.
Is this compatible with my Chrysler 200?
Yes, this ECM is compatible with both the 2013 Dodge Avenger and the 2013 Chrysler 200, as long as your vehicle has the 2.4L engine and the 6-speed automatic transmission. It replaces all part numbers listed in the description.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
This 2013 Dodge Avenger ECM is the direct solution for ECM-specific internal failure codes, such as P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error). If you have other codes, ensure you have diagnosed those issues first, as the ECM cannot fix a separate mechanical or sensor failure.
How difficult is the installation?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is straightforward. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old ECM, unbolting it, and then reversing the process with the new unit. It’s usually located in the engine bay for easy access.
