Replace your failed engine computer with an OEM 2008 Dodge Nitro 3.7L PCM (also called an ECM or ECU), programmed to your vehicle before it ships.
This module is a direct replacement for units carrying service number 05187508AJ, generic number 05150466AA, 05150275AB. Every unit is refurbished, bench-tested against OEM specification, and flashed with the latest manufacturer software.
Also replaces: 05187508AL, 05187508
Check the module is actually at fault
Engine computers rarely fail on their own. A shorted sensor, resistance in the module ground circuit, or a weak battery will all imitate a dead PCM, and fitting a replacement without finding the original cause can damage the new unit too. Internal fault codes in the P0601 to P0606 range, or a complete loss of communication with a scan tool, are the clearest evidence the module itself has failed.
No core charge, and no core to send back
Most suppliers of Nitro engine computers require a core exchange, and several only activate the lifetime warranty once your old module reaches them. We do not. No core charge, no deposit, nothing to return. Keep your old unit and the warranty starts the day yours ships.
Why these modules must be programmed
Nitro uses the Sentry Key anti-theft system. The engine computer, keys and immobiliser have to be registered to each other or the engine will crank without starting. We programme the module to your VIN before dispatch, so you avoid dealer programming fees.

Fitting it
