Is Your Family’s Minivan Suddenly Unreliable?
There’s nothing more stressful than a vehicle you can’t depend on, especially when it’s the one you trust for school runs, errands, and family trips. If your 2013 Chrysler Town & Country or Dodge Caravan is suddenly stalling, refusing to start, or showing a persistent check engine light, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a very likely culprit. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a major disruption. We understand that you need a straightforward, reliable, and permanent solution to get your life back to normal. This pre-programmed 2013 Town & Country Engine Computer is the answer, designed to restore your vehicle’s performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty ECM can cause a wide range of frustrating and confusing issues. You might be experiencing one or more of the following problems:
- No-Start or Hard Starting: The engine cranks but refuses to fire up, or takes an unusually long time to start.
- Engine Stalling: The engine shuts off unexpectedly while driving or idling at a stoplight.
- Check Engine Light: You may see diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P0606 (ECM Processor Fault), U0100 (Lost Communication With ECM), or various sensor communication errors.
- Poor Performance: Noticeable loss of power, decreased fuel economy, and rough idling.
- Transmission Issues: The ECM also communicates with the transmission, so a fault can lead to harsh or erratic shifting.
This unit is the definitive solution. It arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage, making it a true plug-and-play component. By replacing your old, failing module, you directly address the root cause of these electronic issues, ensuring your minivan runs exactly as it should.

Expert Insight: The End of a Frustrating Diagnosis
As a technician, one of the most challenging issues to diagnose used to be an intermittent electronic problem. A customer would bring in their minivan explaining it stalled twice last week but is running fine now. The codes might be stored, but the fault isn’t active. This often points to a failing processor in the ECM. In the past, this meant a new, unprogrammed computer and a complicated dealer-only procedure. Our pre-programmed 2013 Town & Country Engine Computer changes the game. It allows you or your mechanic to confidently replace the core component, solving those frustrating, intermittent electrical gremlins without the hassle and expense of dealer intervention. It turns a complex electronic repair into a simple, direct replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really a ‘plug-and-play’ part?
Yes. During checkout, we will ask for your vehicle’s VIN and current mileage. We then program the computer with this data, so when it arrives, it is ready to be installed without any further programming or dealer visits. In some cases, a simple key relearn procedure may be necessary, which can be done without special tools.
What information do you need from me?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to ensure the programming is a perfect match for your minivan’s specific options and security system. Providing the mileage is also requested for proper setup.
How do I find my original part number?
Your original part number is printed on a white sticker on the engine computer itself. The module is typically located in the engine bay. Matching your number to one in our compatible list (e.g., 68164371AD, 68164371AC) confirms a direct fit.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM (as indicated by codes like P0606 or communication faults), then replacing it with this programmed 2013 Town & Country Engine Computer will resolve the issue. It’s always best to have your vehicle scanned for codes to confirm the diagnosis before ordering.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
The one-year replacement warranty covers any functional defects with the computer itself. If the unit fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a replacement part to get you back on the road.
