An Engine Control Module (ECM) 12581144 - also called an Engine Control Unit (ECU) - is the main computer that controls how an engine runs.
|
1. Control engine operation
The ECM controls:
-
Fuel injection (how much fuel, when)
-
Air intake (throttle, turbo boost, EGR)
-
Ignition timing (gas engines)
This keeps the engine running smoothly under all conditions.
2. Improve fuel efficiency
3. Reduce emissions
-
Manages emissions systems (EGR, catalytic converter, DPF)
-
Keeps exhaust gases within legal limits
-
Helps meet environmental regulations
4. Protect the engine
-
Monitors temperatures, pressures, and speeds
-
Prevents overheating, knocking, or over-boost
-
Can reduce power (limp mode) to avoid damage
5. Adapt to driving conditions
6. Diagnose problems
-
Detects faults using sensors
-
Stores trouble codes
-
Turns on the Check Engine Light
-
Helps technicians diagnose issues quickly
|
Signs of a Failing Control Module 12581144:
|
1. Check Engine Light stays on
-
Light is on with no clear mechanical cause
-
Comes back immediately after clearing codes
-
Multiple unrelated fault codes appear at once
2. Poor engine performance
3. Hard starting or no start
-
Engine cranks but won’t start
-
Starts sometimes, other times won’t
-
ECM not properly controlling fuel or spark
4. Stalling or random shutdowns
5. Electrical problems
-
Sensors test good but show bad readings
-
Fuel injectors or coils not firing correctly
-
Cooling fans, EGR, or turbo controls acting erratically
6. Communication issues
-
Scan tool can’t communicate with ECM
-
U-codes (network/communication errors)
-
Vehicle fails emissions or inspection
7. Engine running too rich or too lean
8. Burnt smell or visible ECM damage (rare but serious)
-
Smell of burnt electronics
-
Water or corrosion inside ECM
-
Usually caused by voltage spikes or water intrusion

Manufacturer information
The Mopar Part Corporation is one of the largest customer care and repair service companies in the world. Why? Because it's the official parts, service, and customer care division of Fiat Chrysler, one of the largest manufactures of automobiles in the world.
Since Mopar is tied so tightly together with Fiat Chrysler, the brand can easily make use of Chrysler's long-standing reputation when it comes to the manufacturing of high-quality pieces, parts, and hardware for automobiles, heavy-duty trucks, and just about everything in between. That being said, Mopar doesn't need to lean on Chrysler for its own success.
The Mopar brand is trusted by hundreds of thousands of truckers, repairpeople, and technicians the world over — and for good reason. The brand is just as versatile as you can expect from Chrysler and also makes countless essential original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products for Chrysler's many brands.
