Is your Jeep Patriot suffering from frustrating and unpredictable issues like stalling, rough idling, a persistent check engine light, or a complete failure to start?

- Unexplained engine stalling or shutting off while driving.

- Difficulty or inability to start the engine, even with a good battery and starter.

Expert Insight: The Anti-Theft Connection
Ever wonder why you can’t just pull a computer from a junkyard? Your Jeep’s security system (known as the Sentry Key Immobilizer System or SKIM) is directly linked to the ECM via the vehicle’s unique VIN. If the VIN in the computer doesn’t match the rest of the vehicle, the engine will not start. Our pre-programming service handles this critical step, ensuring the new ECM communicates perfectly with your keys and other modules right out of the box.
By choosing this pre-programmed 2015-2017 Jeep Patriot Engine Control Module, you’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a complete, stress-free solution. We handle the complex programming so you can handle the simple installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really “Plug & Play”?
Yes, absolutely. We flash the unit with your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage information before shipping. Once it arrives, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the old module with the new one, and reconnect the battery. No further programming or dealer visits are required.
How do I provide my VIN and mileage?
After you place your order, you will be prompted to provide your vehicle’s VIN and current mileage. This information is critical for the programming process. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module is designed to fix issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. While it resolves the most common electronic engine problems, we always recommend having a qualified technician properly diagnose your vehicle to confirm the ECM is the point of failure before ordering.
Do I need to send my old computer (core) back?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your old module at your convenience.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation is straightforward and typically only requires basic hand tools, such as a socket set or wrenches, to disconnect the battery and unbolt the module’s mounting hardware and electrical connectors. No special electronic equipment is needed.
Is this compatible with the Jeep Compass?
Yes, this 2015-2017 Jeep Patriot Engine Control Module is also the correct fit for the 2015-2016 Jeep Compass and the 2017 Compass with the ‘classic’ body style, as specified in the fitment guide.
