How to Reset an ECM on a Dodge Stealth

The Engine Control Module, or ECM, on a Dodge Stealth is the engine management indicator for the automobile. It is the car's brain box, holding all the information about the car, such as the mileage. It tells all the car's parts what they need to do. When the ECM senses a problem with your car, it triggers a check engine light on your dash. In most cases, a problem with the ECM requires reprogramming at a dealership, but you can reset the unit by yourself in a few simple steps.
