- PCM replacement on a 1999 Dodge Dakota.
Many of these vehicles have issues with the PCM, power control module. Try to find one with the same year model vehicle or ship it out to be repaired.

Hey man, I recently started having these exact issues and your video was awesome, I’m someone who isn’t fully mechanically inclined and you made things real easy to understand. I’m gonna start with the coil and PCM and see if that solves me issue.
thanks for watching.
Did you ever fix it?
Hell of a video,love the details and the honesty,some real content 👍💪🙏❤️
Glad you enjoyed it
My 1999 manual Dodge Dakota sport is bucking real bad and I’ve gone through a half tank of gas in just two days. My friend thinks it’s the fuel pump but I’m checking this video first!
Cool
I had the Same issues on mines ended being the computer and conectors I replaced both and luckily I was able to fix the issue
good
the one with the red Mark's said 98.on it .I saw another repair on the pcm .one cuts a long the side all for .then put it in the over. all though it broke I would have put it in the oven. yes the information you gave was a great help. I bought a dodge Dakota4x4 and it has these problems. I took it to the shop .cost me 300.00 my elearm was on had to all way undo the battery for it to stop .so when I took it in they cut all the wires under the dash .made me very mad.
dang.
The issue with the over drive light is probably something the aftermarket gear selector knob, there should be a button on the shift knob to turn OD off
thanks for sharing.
I fixed my 1993 5.2 Dodge Dakota finally. I replaced every single sensor and ecm. Still didn't work. To get to the point I found 3 clogged injectors. When I changed them out I found the tops of them had been rusting and flaking off into the injectors. They are very easy to diagnose with a cheap multi meter and a long handled screw driver. Lots of videos out there for testing them. I got a set of 8 Bosch 4 hole injectors on ebay for 100 bucks. They cost 68 for 1 at the parts store. Hope this helps. P.S. I had to re clean two more injectors. Some of the debris stayed in the fuel rail and ended up in the back 2 on the passenger side.
Yuk! That truck must have been sitting somewhere at some point.
My truck sat for 6.5 months and I’m worrying that this could be the case
Hey Robert I just wanted to let you know that when it comes to model gears anything produced after October of the model year is considered the following model year which could be one of the reasons you're having a problem with the year on the module. And after getting into a Dodge forum I found that there are three generations of Dodge Dakota the last one starts in 1999. Meaning the reason the module probably doesn't work is because it's for a different generation of Dakota.
dang. I understand.
If there are no codes present, keep track of your last fill ups. Bad fuel will send you down a path of issues thinking it parts or things about to fail. If stalling or engine bucking or sluggish performance continues, keep topping the tank with fresh fuel from a different gas station than your last. That could be the problem before chasing parts.
But I had codes....
@@RobertDIY Mine had similar issues without code. This is how we learn Robert.
ok
@erty7012 what was your problem? I have no codes
I have a bad shake on my truck rebuild motor injectors clean and tested and work 100% enless they act up wean hot but I have also replaced everything on the ignition so it leads to the computer and I recently got the p0351 finally so I'm thinking it's the computer. Thanks great video 👍👍👍
thanks for watching.
Dude, the pcm needs flashed to the VIN. Also, the letters at the end are just software updates. But if not coded to the vin it won't play nice because the transmission may be different. It has to be the same engine and transmission combo if you don't flash it but it should be
thanks
Thank you very helpful! 🙏🏼
thanks.
That's helps me so much thanks so much.
Glad it helped!
Won’t go into overdrive? Have him empty that ashtray. Holy hell. Lol
LOL
I have that same exact Dakota even same color Will a 378AE ecm work in it the one in it has different numbers 323AE
I have no idea
Me either 😂
I replaced the ECM a couple of times. I made a couple of videos about the numbers and dates. It's probably best to use one that was remanufactured by a company that fixes these ECMs.
I got question? I have a 2003 dodge Durango rt and I’ve been having problems with it not starting? Or not wanting to start. I checked battery alternator and starter all good some times I have to use starter fluid and it still won’t start it’s usually after sitting all night the next morning it won’t start? So it’s been doing this for a couple of months now. It usually starts after playing with it or after I kill the battery and have to jump it so this morning same thing didn’t wanna start I added starter fluid nothing my battery started dying so I grabbed another vehicle to jump it and nothing so I let it sit and juicy up and tried it again it wanted to start so i gave it a minute or 2 and tried it again and it started but my check engine light was on with a P0351 code so thanks for the video I’m just hoping this works on my truck it ain’t stalling or misfiring it just doesn’t wanna start and once it does it’s starts all day like I said until it sits over night so I’ve been trying to figure out what’s going on and I hope by replacing that it works
If it starts fine when hot but not cold it may be a temp sensor.
I wonder if the ecm could just be relearned to the stock Vin settings. May be an expensive trip to the independent shop though
You may be right.
Robert- if you have about 15 mins head over to the South main auto channel. A few hours ago Eric posted a ram2500 follow up video that shows him doing it to an ECU
I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow.
Hold on! Before going to a shop or dealership to repair or replace your main computer, go online and search for companies that send remaned PCMs. My computer went bad in my 03 4.7 Dakota. I found a company online, which has you fill out all the necessary info for them to program it and ship it to you. It cost me roughly 170 or so. It solved my truck's problems. And a warning to anyone having a PCM going bad, DON'T PUT IT OFF. If you let it go the bad PCM will cause other electrical problems.
I have a 2003 dodge Dakota it started stalling on me today. It starts up just fine, no check lights popping up on the dash. I can’t figure out what it is. I just put a new idle valve sensor in it an it didn’t help

I have a p1171 error code in a s60 2.0t
I think it is the MAF because it is reading 2.2g/s
OK
hello! i have a 2000 dodge dakota, V8 magnum and it sat for a little bit. I got it for a graduation gift as a project pickup, but i can not for the life of my figure out what is wrong with it. It will crank, but that’s it. We changed the coils, spark plugs, all the basic stuff, and even the sensor plugs. my dads a mechanic but is more on the ford side, so he doesn’t know dodges that well 😂, but good enough to replace and fix all the basic things. if you have any ideas that would be grand and help me give a little bit of a head start for it :)

hi my 1997 dakota turns off when i go reverse and the dash board lights looses power like if its wants to turn off
ouch
the turning of was a 5 min fix and another one was the alternator any adcive for dash board does mark just sometimes when in parked
@@danny_boyx2949 Check your grounds for corrosion. Headlight switch may be having problems. Are you parking light dim also?
If pcm has sticker it means it has pcm software reflash a.k.a deathflash
thanks for sharing
Hey Robert I’ve got a question for you
My 94 Volvo 940s brake pedal feels fine while the car is shut off but when it’s started it has about 2/3 travel before it starts to even have any braking power I’ve tried bleeding the brakes many many times and still no better I replaced the master cylinder then bleed the brakes again and still no better I’m thinking it could possibly be the brake booster but let me know what you think the car does have abs if that makes any difference I’ve been bleeding the brakes in this order
RR,LR,RF,LF
If there’s anything I can explain better let me know
I just really want to get the brakes working well again on this car cause it really is a great car
Yea, try replacing the brake booster.
Robert DIY thanks for the advice
Is there an OD button somewhere on the dash or on the column/shifter? I've seen that in some 90's cars. My 95 corollas have that.
I can't remember, I've slept since then. 😛
My '97 Dakota has an O/D button on the end of the gear select lever on the steering column. Pushing the button turns on that light when overdrive is off. Pushing the button again turns the light off and overdrive back on.

Likewise with mines.
I got mine apart??
ok
Dude, I know this is after the fact but word to the wise, dont start taking computer components apart if you don't have experience. When you opened that PCM you never grounded yourself while handling the circuit board or anything. Even working on any components in a desktop computer or laptop you ALWAYS ground yourself or use a ground strap you put on your wrist. If you don't it's so easy to cause static which can destroy components on circuit boards. And if you're gonna mess with anything do some research first. If you can use UA-cam then you can search the web.
As a laptop tech I am fully aware of the situation.
That's absurd!
Hey I was running diagnostics on a 98 dodge Durango and it died and lost communication with the scanner problem was it was dying and the OD light was on the overdrive light stuck on. I push the overdrive button while I was running the diagnostics and killed truck. Communication.
Ouch!
@@RobertDIY well it restarted a little while later I’m thinking maybe ignition switch because the lights on the dash don’t turn on right away when it happens it takes a few seconds for them to come back on I don’t know if the computer would do that i don’t think so anyway what do you think it’s been doing it since right after she bought it and I’m finding no codes
maybe a bad battery cable or connection. Unfortunately you may have to throw a couple of parts at it if you don't have codes.
Instead of putting it in the oven can we put it in the microwave instead? Lol
😛😂😂😂 Maybe at your place.
Robert DIY my microwave is already destroyed tho 😂
My place it is. lol
Robert DIY have your fire extinguisher ready!
Brain is going out
thanks.
In my 98 rt I get p0351 after car wash..haha
dang
