Detailed Description
Dorman 318-261 is an engine control module built for the 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser. As the ECM, it receives data from engine sensors and uses that information to control ignition and fueling for consistent drivability and efficiency. This remanufactured unit is tested to match original equipment performance, making it a direct replacement choice when diagnosing a failed module on a Chrysler PT Cruiser.
The module features a black connector color, female connector gender, pin-style terminals, a rectangular connector shape, and a compact 9 x 1.5 x 6-inch form factor. It is flashable, does not require flash programming, and uses 4 connectors with 152 terminals. Part number 318-261 also cross-references 5033074AC and 5033074AD for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Hard starting or no-start conditions caused by ECM failure
- Rough idle or unstable engine operation
- Incorrect fuel delivery or ignition control
- Check engine light concerns tied to module faults
- Loss of engine management communication on the 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser, N/A. VIN, mileage, and tire size are required to order this module. Verify connector count, connector shape, and terminal layout before installation. Because this ECM is flashable, confirm vehicle-specific calibration requirements during service. Always inspect related wiring, grounds, and sensors before replacing the module.
Quality Assurance
This Dorman ECM is remanufactured and tested to meet original equipment performance expectations. It is built for direct engine control module replacement on the listed Chrysler PT Cruiser application.
