Would a ECM from a 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.4 work in my TJ?

2005 TJ · Oct 23, 2020

My ecm blew and I can’t find a used one or a new one within an affordable price.

Would a ECM ECU Engine Computer Unit 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser M/T 2.4L | P05033427AG work?

it’s the same engine and transmission and the ecm looks identical and even the plugs are the same. I just have no clue if it would work after it was flashed

I'm 99.9% certain it won't work, but I'll tag @Wranglerfix in this just so he can confirm (or deny) my suspicion.

Hmm ok. Do you know why it wouldn’t work?

Because there are a lot of differences between the two platforms. Mark will know for sure, but I’ll be shocked if it works. Mark is the PCM guru, so I’ll wait until he chimes in.

2005–06 were two disastrous years for Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep electronics.

Chrysler engineers smacked the ecm and tcm together to form the pcm and it has failed on several of their vehicles including the cruiser.

My tech has not tried programming a PT Cruiser PCM for a Jeep. His thoughts are the circuitry is different and the gauges will not work amongst other things.

After money spent on an unknown pcm, programming, removing skim and shipping it makes you reaize how quickly the money adds up on something that is an unknown.

I just purchased the 06 2.4L turbo below to try to keep them going...The same issues as the 05-06 TJ plague the Cruiser and we are working diligently to solve.

The PCM that we use in our 2.4L Wrangler will fix your issues 100%. You can call or email me and I will work with you.

Every time I hear you talk you make me happy I have a 2003 with a manual transmission

385AD or 093AH depending on if you have a Rubicon or not. Either way, I got you covered.

Rubicon, yes.

I've already got one of your PCMs as a spare... never know when I may have to snatch up another
