ProTech Auto Systems- Signs of a Failed Dodge Auto Computer

An auto computer, also called the ECM, is one of the most important components on a Dodge vehicle. In the event that this critical part fails, your automobile will immediately begin to experience problems. Here are some of the key signs that your Dodge vehicle’s computer is going bad. This is when it is important to replace your auto computer.

Car fails to start
While some Dodge auto computers fail gradually, there are others that fail without any warning signs. If your car will not crank, you should first test the vehicle’s electrical system. If the electrical system checks out okay, the computer’s PCM could definitely be the culprit. 

Check engine light
In many instances, a bad auto computer may cause the check engine light to turn on. If the computer is determined to be faulty, the only effective solution is to install a new one. Fortunately, auto computers are not very difficult to replace. With the use of a basic tool set, some Dodge owners are able to complete the repair in the confines of their own garage. 

Poor transmission performance
Dodge auto computers have control over several components, including your transmission. If your automatic transmission begins to shift poorly or performs erratically on the road, the ECM should be tested. Some of the other common causes of a malfunctioning transmission include a low level of fluid and a failed internal mechanism. 

Bad gas mileage
The PCM has a direct influence on your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. While poor gas mileage can be caused by a number of things, a bad computer is certainly on the list. Auto computers control the engine’s air-fuel ratio, which is one of the most important aspects of a modern engine. 

If you suspect that your Dodge’s computer has failed, be sure to get it tested as soon as possible. Do not let this important component ruin your driving experience. Call ProTech Auto Systems today!
