Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really ‘Plug & Play’?
Yes. Because we program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage before shipping, it is ready for installation upon arrival. No further programming or flashing is required. Simply install it, and you’re ready to go.
What information do you need from me?
During the checkout process, we will require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. This is essential for us to program the unit correctly for your specific Dart.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal fault within the original ECM (such as a processor error code), this replacement unit will solve the problem. It is always recommended to have the codes scanned to confirm the ECM is the root cause before ordering.
How do I know if my original ECM is the problem?
Common signs include a no-start condition where the engine still cranks, multiple unrelated error codes, stalling, or poor engine performance that can’t be traced to a mechanical issue. A professional diagnosis is the best way to be certain, but these symptoms are strong indicators of a failing 2013 Dodge Dart 2.0L ECM.
Where is the ECM located on my 2013 Dart?
On the 2013 Dodge Dart, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, mounted to the side of the battery tray or on the firewall. It will have several large electrical connectors attached to it.
