Failure can result in poor performance, misfires, or loss of power.\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"quick-summary\">\n<h2>Quick Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>PCM replacement takes 0.5 hours, ECM replacement 0.5 hours<\/li>\n<li>Both modules are accessed from the engine bay; the PCM sits near the battery, the ECM near the intake<\/li>\n<li>If a new PCM is installed, it must be programmed with the vehicle\u2019s VIN and mileage<\/li>\n<li>P0601 and P0606 are common internal codes for these modules<\/li>\n<li>Properly programmed units from Flagship One eliminate the need for on\u2011site programming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<p>If your 2016 Dodge Charger 6.2L is showing a lack of power or engine misfires, the root cause could be a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Engine Control Module (ECM). These modules orchestrate engine timing, fuel delivery, and transmission shifts. Knowing how they are installed, the time required for replacement, and the programming steps that follow can help you make an informed decision about repair versus replacement. By following the guidance below, you can understand the scope of the job and the advantages of a VIN\u2011programmed unit from Flagship One.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>What the PCM Does in a 2016 Dodge Charger<\/h2>\n<p>The PCM in the 2016 Dodge Charger 6.2L handles communication between the engine, transmission, and various sensors, while the ECM focuses on engine management. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs1inc.com\/chrysler-dodge-plymouth\/dodge-pcm-ecm-ecu-engine-computer\/charger-engine-computers.html\">replacement engine computers for the Charger<\/a> Each module must be correctly seated, wired, and programmed to maintain engine efficiency and prevent diagnostic trouble codes. Properly functioning modules ensure smooth acceleration, correct idle, and reliable start\u2011up.<\/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 located in the engine bay. Removing each unit requires a 0.5\u2011hour labor block. Access typically involves disconnecting the battery, removing the air\u2011intake cover, and sliding the module out of its bracket. After removal, the new unit is inserted and secured following the same 0.5\u2011hour schedule.<\/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\/2016-dodge-charger-pcm-service-figure.webp\" alt=\"2016 Dodge Charger PCM location diagram\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#667085;margin-top:8px\">From the factory PCM removal procedure for the 2016 Dodge Charger.<\/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 2016 Dodge Charger<\/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 cowl plenum cover\/grille panel from over the wiper module.<\/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\">0.6 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 a new module is installed, the factory requires the unit to be programmed with the vehicle\u2019s VIN and mileage.
