Is Your Dodge Dart Stalling, Idling Rough, or Refusing to Start?
A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) can be the hidden cause of frustrating and unpredictable issues in your 2013 Dodge Dart. If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, or other strange electrical problems, you’re not just losing performanceโyou’re losing the confidence and reliability you depend on for your daily drive.

When the central computer of your vehicle’s engine management system fails, it can trigger a wide range of problems. You might be experiencing one or more of the following:

- Engine Stalling or Misfiring: The engine may cut out unexpectedly while driving or at a stop.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, even with a good battery and starter.

Expert Insight: The Power of a Pre-Programmed Solution
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners get stuck between a rock and a hard place: they have the correct replacement part, but their car is still undrivable because it needs to be ‘flashed’ by the dealer. This often involves towing fees and expensive labor charges. Our pre-programming service for this 2013 Dodge Dart 2.0L ECM completely bypasses that frustrating step. We handle the complex software side before it ever ships, so when the part arrives, the most difficult part of the job is already done. It’s the closest you can get to a factory-fresh start, restoring communication between all your car’s modules and getting you back to a smooth, reliable ride.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really ‘Plug and Play’?
Absolutely. We program the unit with your car’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and mileage before shipping. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your car’s existing systems right out of the box. No further programming or dealer visits are required.
What information do you need from me?
To ensure a perfect Plug & Play experience, we will need your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration.
How do I know if my ECM is the problem?
Common signs include a no-start condition where the engine cranks, multiple unrelated error codes, stalling, and poor engine performance. While these are strong indicators, we always recommend having a qualified mechanic perform a full diagnosis to confirm the ECM is the point of failure before ordering.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to a fault within the old ECM (such as internal processor codes), this new unit will resolve the issue. After installation, it is best practice to clear all diagnostic trouble codes with a standard OBD2 scanner to allow the system to reset.

It is compatible with a range of part numbers, including 68194770AA, 5150688AD, and 68185602AC, among others listed above.
