Is Your Jeep Compass Stalling, Misfiring, or Refusing to Start?
A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) can turn your reliable daily driver into a source of constant frustration. If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, unpredictable stalling, a rough idle, or a no-start condition, the brain of your vehicle’s engine is likely the culprit. Don’t let dealership-level repair costs and complex programming procedures keep you off the road. We have the straightforward, reliable, and affordable solution you need to restore your Jeep’s performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM & Your Solution
The ECM is responsible for managing everything from fuel mixture and ignition timing to transmission shifting. When it fails, the symptoms can be widespread and confusing. This plug-and-play engine computer is the definitive solution for issues caused by a faulty original unit. Look for these common warning signs:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication codes (U-series) or circuit fault codes.
- Vehicle randomly stalls while driving or at idle.
- Engine cranks but will not start.
- Noticeable drop in fuel economy (MPG).
- Rough or erratic engine idle.
- Hesitation or stumbling during acceleration.
- Automatic transmission shifts harshly or at the wrong times.

By ordering our 2015-2017 Jeep Compass ECM 68246705, you’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a solution that gets you back on the road quickly and confidently.

Expert Insight: Why a Junkyard ECM Won’t Work
As a technician, I’ve seen many people try to save money by pulling an ECM from a salvage yard. For modern Jeeps, this simply doesn’t work. The factory Engine Control Module is tied directly to the original vehicle’s anti-theft system (Sentry Key Immobilizer System). When you install a used, un-programmed module, it won’t recognize your keys, and the vehicle will not start. Our service completely bypasses this issue by pre-programming the unit with your vehicle’s unique data, making it a true plug-and-play fix that works right out of the box.
Stop guessing and start driving. This programmed 2015-2017 Jeep Compass ECM 68246705 is the most reliable and efficient way to solve your vehicle’s electronic issues and get back to depending on your Jeep every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM really ‘Plug and Play’?
Absolutely. We use the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) you provide during checkout to flash the module with your Jeep’s exact software and security information. This ensures that when you install it, the computer is ready to work with your existing keys and systems without any additional programming.
How do I know if the ECM is my problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators of a failing ECM, a definitive diagnosis from a qualified mechanic is always recommended. Common signs include a no-start condition where the engine still cranks, multiple unrelated diagnostic codes, and stalling issues that can’t be traced to other components.
What information do you need from me?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN to ensure the engine computer is programmed correctly. You can typically find this on your dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal fault within the original ECM, then yes, this replacement unit will solve the problem. However, if the light is caused by another faulty sensor or component on the vehicle, that issue will still need to be addressed separately.
Is this also compatible with my Jeep Patriot?
Yes, this ECM is also a direct fit for 2015-2017 Jeep Patriot models that use the compatible part numbers listed. Please verify your vehicle’s original part number to ensure a perfect match.
What is the warranty on this part?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty.
