Failure of either unit can disrupt engine start, cause erratic idle, trigger loss of power, or produce diagnostic trouble codes such as P0601 and P0606, indicating internal processor or communication problems.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"quick-summary\">\n<h2>Quick Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>PCM or ECM failure often presents as no\u2011start, stalling, or unexpected shift behavior.<\/li>\n<li>Factory service bulletins require reprogramming the new module with the original VIN and mileage.<\/li>\n<li>Typical labor times range from 0.3 to 0.6 hours for relearn or replace procedures.<\/li>\n<li>Flagship One units arrive pre\u2011programmed, eliminating the VIN\u2011programming step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<p>If your 2017 Dodge Charger is showing erratic power delivery, unexpected stalling, or a loss of communication with the scan tool, the underlying cause may be a faulty powertrain control module or engine control module. Both modules serve as the vehicle&#8217;s brain, translating sensor data into precise commands that keep the engine and transmission operating smoothly. Understanding how these computers work, where they reside, and what the factory requires after a replacement can help you make an informed decision about repair versus a refurbished replacement. This guide walks you through the function of each module, typical labor estimates, required programming steps, common symptoms, relevant service bulletins, and practical steps to protect the electronics in your Charger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>What the PCM Does in a 2017 Dodge Charger<\/h2>\n<p>The powertrain control module in the 2017 Dodge Charger coordinates engine output with transmission behavior, handling fuel injection timing, spark advance, and shift schedules. The engine control module focuses specifically on combustion control, monitoring crankshaft position, oxygen sensor feedback, and emissions systems. Both units rely on a microprocessor that must maintain accurate internal timing and communication with other vehicle networks. When the processor loses sync or encounters a fault, the vehicle may limit power, enter limp mode, or refuse to start. Proper operation is critical for performance, fuel economy, and emissions compliance. The module also stores calibration data that reflects the original VIN and mileage, which the factory expects to be retained after any replacement. For owners seeking a direct swap, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs1inc.com\/chrysler-dodge-plymouth\/dodge-pcm-ecm-ecu-engine-computer\/charger-engine-computers.html\">replacement powertrain and engine computers for the 2017 Dodge Charger<\/a> provide a drop\u2011in solution when paired with the correct programming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-section\">\n<h2>Where the PCM Is Located and What Replacement Involves<\/h2>\n<p>In the 2017 Dodge Charger, the PCM is mounted near the firewall on the passenger side, while the ECM resides within the engine compartment close to the intake manifold. Access typically requires removal of a protective cover and disconnecting the battery to prevent voltage spikes. Labor estimates from the factory service guide list 0.5 hours for a PCM relearn, 0.6 hours for a PCM removal and reinstall, 0.5 hours for an ECM relearn, 0.3 hours for an ECM reset, and 0.6 hours for an ECM removal and reinstall. The process involves unplugging the module connectors, securing the unit with the original bolts, and reattaching all harnesses before any software steps are performed.<\/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\/2017-dodge-charger-pcm-service-figure.webp\" alt=\"2017 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 2017 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 2017 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>When a new PCM or ECM is installed in the 2017 Dodge Charger, the factory procedure mandates programming the unit with the vehicle&#8217;s original VIN and current mileage to ensure proper identification and calibration.
