Expert Insight: The P0601 Nightmare, Solved.
As a technician, one of the most definitive ‘bad news’ codes you can see is P0601: Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error.

It’s the smartest way to resolve a critical failure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECU truly Plug and Play?
Yes, absolutely. To make this possible, we require you to provide your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and current mileage during checkout. Our technicians will program the computer with this information, so it syncs perfectly with your Jeep’s systems right out of the box.
How do I find my original part number?
Your original part number is printed on a sticker on the housing of your current engine computer. It will typically be a combination of letters and numbers. While this unit is compatible with many part numbers, matching it is a good way to confirm fitment.
Will this fix my check engine light?
This ECM will resolve any check engine lights and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that are directly caused by a faulty engine computer, such as the common P0601 code. However, it is essential to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to ensure the ECM is the root cause of your issue. This part will not fix problems caused by other faulty sensors or mechanical components.
What information do you need from me to program it?
We need two pieces of information: your 17-digit VIN and the exact mileage you want programmed into the unit. Please double-check this information for accuracy before submitting your order.
Will this fit my 2017 Jeep Compass?
This unit fits the 2017 Jeep Compass designated as the ‘classic style’, which is identifiable by its vertical rear door handle. It does not fit the all-new body style that was also introduced in 2017. It is a direct fit for all 2015-2017 Patriot and 2015-2016 Compass models listed.
Do I need to have my keys reprogrammed?
No. Our programming process syncs the computer to your vehicle’s existing security system and keys. You will not need any additional key programming after installation. This is a key part of what makes our plug and play 2015-2017 Jeep Patriot engine computer so convenient.
