A failure typically interrupts communication with sensors, causing limp\u2011mode operation or loss of power, and may trigger the P0601 internal fault code.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"quick-summary\">\n<h2>Quick Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The PCM resides in the engine compartment and controls both engine and transmission functions.<\/li>\n<li>Typical labor for removal and installation ranges from 0.5 to 0.6 hours.<\/li>\n<li>After replacement the module must be programmed with the original VIN and mileage.<\/li>\n<li>A P0601 code often points to internal PCM communication issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<p>When a 2012 Chrysler 300 experiences a Powertrain Control Module problem, the vehicle may lose power or exhibit erratic shifting. Understanding what the PCM does, where it lives, and how it is serviced can help you decide whether to repair or replace it. This guide explains the module\u2019s role, typical labor times, programming requirements and common symptoms so you can make an informed choice for your vehicle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>What the PCM Does in a 2012 Chrysler 300<\/h2>\n<p>The Powertrain Control Module in the 2012 Chrysler 300 acts as the central computer for engine and transmission coordination, processing sensor inputs to adjust fuel, spark and gear shifts. Its reliability is critical because any loss of function can lead to reduced performance or safety\u2011related limp mode. Proper operation ensures smooth acceleration and optimal emissions. The module also stores diagnostic information that helps technicians pinpoint failures. For owners considering a swap, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs1inc.com\/chrysler-dodge-plymouth\/chrysler-pcm-ecm-ecu-engine-computer\/300m-engine-computers.html\">replacement PCM for 2012 Chrysler 300<\/a> offers a direct substitute that matches the original specifications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>Where the PCM Is Located and What Replacement Involves<\/h2>\n<p>The PCM is mounted in the engine compartment, accessible without removing major components. According to the labor guide, removing and reinstalling the module typically requires about 0.5 hours for a relearn or reset, and up to 0.6 hours for a full removal and replacement. The process involves disconnecting the electrical connector, unbolting the unit, and securing the new module in the same location. No additional torque specifications are provided in the source data.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:22px auto;text-align:center;max-width:720px\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border:1px solid #e2e6ec;border-radius:8px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fs1inc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2012-chrysler-300-pcm-location-diagram.webp\" alt=\"2012 Chrysler 300 PCM location diagram\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#667085;margin-top:8px\">PCM mounting location on the 2012 Chrysler 300.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div style=\"background:#f7f9fc;border:1px solid #e2e8f2;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 24px;margin:18px 0\">\n<h3 style='margin-top:0'>How to Reach the PCM on the 2012 Chrysler 300<\/h3>\n<ol style=\"margin:14px 0 6px 0;padding-left:26px\">\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Disconnect<\/b> the negative battery cable.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> the engine cover.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> the wiper arm linkage.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> bolts and the strut support brace.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Disconnect<\/b> the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) wire harness connector.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> the crash sensor wire harness connector from inner fender.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> bolt and the PCM with mounting bracket.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> nuts and the PCM from mounting bracket.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style='margin:10px 0 0 0'><em>Work with the ignition off, and treat the module as static-sensitive: avoid touching the connector pins at any point.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:18px 0;font-size:15px\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;background:#f2f5f9;padding:9px 12px;text-align:left\">Operation<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;background:#f2f5f9;padding:9px 12px;text-align:left\">Configuration<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;background:#f2f5f9;padding:9px 12px;text-align:left\">Book Time<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Powertrain Control Module Relearn<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">0.5 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Powertrain Control Module R&amp;R<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">0.6 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Engine Control Module Relearn<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">0.5 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Engine Control Module Reset<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">0.3 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">Engine Control Module R&amp;R<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">All configurations<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d6dbe3;padding:9px 12px\">0.6 hr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>Programming Requirements After Replacement<\/h2>\n<p>After installing a new PCM, the factory procedure calls for programming the module with the vehicle\u2019s original VIN and mileage.
