Failure of either unit may interrupt sensor data, trigger internal fault codes, and prevent the engine from starting or running smoothly.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"quick-summary\">\n<h2>Quick Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>PCM and ECM relearn procedures each require about half an hour of labor.<\/li>\n<li>Replacing a PCM typically involves a 0.9\u2011hour R&amp;R task.<\/li>\n<li>Factory guidance insists the new PCM be programmed with the original VIN and mileage.<\/li>\n<li>Service Bulletin U60 addresses a required PCM reprogram for safety compliance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<p>When a 2018 Chrysler 300 exhibits erratic starting, stalling, or unexpected shift behavior, the powertrain and engine control computers are often the focus. Understanding how these modules function, what labor is involved in their removal and replacement, and the programming steps required can help you assess repair options. This guide outlines the key tasks, typical labor times, and precautions so you know what to expect before authorizing service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>What the PCM Does in a 2018 Chrysler 300<\/h2>\n<p>The Powertrain Control Module in the 2018 Chrysler 300 interprets sensor inputs to control fuel injection, ignition timing, and transmission shift points, while the Engine Control Module oversees combustion processes and emission controls. Together they ensure the engine runs efficiently and meets emissions standards. Proper operation is essential for drivability and fuel economy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs1inc.com\/chrysler-dodge-plymouth\/chrysler-pcm-ecm-ecu-engine-computer\/300m-engine-computers.html\">replacement PCM for 2018 Chrysler 300<\/a> plays a critical role in maintaining vehicle performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>Where the PCM Is Located and What Replacement Involves<\/h2>\n<p>Both the PCM and ECM are mounted within the engine compartment, accessible after removing the intake assembly and several fasteners. Removal typically follows the 0.9\u2011hour R&amp;R labor time for each unit, while reinstall includes the same effort plus any required torque specifications. Once the new module is in place, the technician secures it with the original hardware and reconnects the wiring harnesses.<\/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\/2018-chrysler-300-pcm-location-diagram.webp\" alt=\"2018 Chrysler 300 PCM location diagram\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#667085;margin-top:8px\">PCM mounting location on the 2018 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 2018 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> and isolate the negative battery cable.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> the two push pins that secure the front cowl top panel to the right rear corner o.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> the front cowl top panel.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) retaining bolt.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Disconnect<\/b> the PCM electrical connectors.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:10px 0;line-height:1.65\"><b>Remove<\/b> the PCM from the vehicle.<\/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\">0.9 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\">0.9 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 or ECM, the factory procedure requires programming the unit with the vehicle&#8217;s original VIN and mileage to verify identity and software level.
