Chrysler/Dodge TIPM problems can be difficult to diagnose because the problems can begin in numerous ways. The battery may start draining. The horn may start going off by itself while driving. The horn may go off by itself when the car is parked and the motor is off. The car may start running rough. The car may die and then drive fine when you re-start the motor... only to start running rough and then die again. Windshield wipers might decide to start working on their own. The door locks, which should auto-lock shortly after you begin driving, don't lock until quite a while later. The air bag light or traction control light may come on for no reason. The speedometer might stop working and not generate a code. The battery may drain when the car is off but after a recharge work normally only to be drained a day or two later. Once any of these problems start others usually follow.

Another problem is buying one from a parts puller that took it from a junkyard and selling it on eBay without knowing if it works 100%. Those cars usually don't end up in a junkyard if they are running perfectly. Then after if you buy it and install it you might find that it may not solve your problem or if it does you suddenly find that there is some other problem with it.

The TIMP for sale here has been TESTED on the road in a Dodge Avenger for over 2 full weeks and this TIMP has covered 117 miles. It has been driven in stop and go city traffic and been driven on the Interstate. It has been driven with hard acceleration and normal acceleration. Everything has been repeatedly tested: Fuel pump control circuits, horn circuits, cruise control circuits, wiper circuits, tire pressure, traction control, radio, and air conditioner circuits, door auto-locking... everything that indicates a failing TIPM. This TIPM has produced perfect performance and no warning lights at all popping up on the dash.

This TIPM is a P04692346AE, as can be seen on the label photo. It is working absolutely perfectly.

The Mopar TIPM model P04692346 fits 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger cars with both the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine AND the 3.6L V6. The last 2 designation letters after the P04692346 (AC or AD or AE etc.) are just the manufacturing date codes and are all interchangeable.  While this particular unit is a P04692346AE you can use it in any 2011-14 Avenger or 200.


Removal and installation are relatively easy, just make sure to disconnect the negative battery terminal on the firewall and give it a few minutes to make sure all capacitors drain before taking off the TIPM harness connectors. Remove the air cleaner box. For the TIPM main harness terminals use a flat head screwdriver to pop the Red locks up, press in the Connector Lock which should make the White Lever release and pop up a little. Then gently pull up the White Lever while pulling the Connector downward. You don't have to keep the Connector Lock pressed in at this point. Do that carefully and they come apart. If you exert too much force on the Lever you can break the little plastic pins that the Lever is riding on. I've removed a lot of TIPMs a lot of times so this is experience talking. NEVER USE FORCE. It does not wiggle out because of the tight rectangular fit, so pull on the cable if necessary or use a flat head screwdriver between the Connector and the TIPM case along the Connector edge to get it started. You can see in the listing photo all those little Lever pins I'm referring to on the sides of the 3 big square Connector boxes.

Once your bad TIPM has been replaced with this one the Body Control Module and the Engine Control Module will program this replacement TIPM to your car's configuration by following this sequence:

1) Put the key in the ignition and turn to the RUN position but DO NOT START the car.
2) The dash lights will illuminate and after about 30 seconds all the lights except the Check Engine Light will go off and the Check Engine Light will start flashing. After 10 flashes (about 20 seconds or so) the Check Engine Light will STOP flashing. Wait at least another 30 seconds before turning the key to the OFF position and remove the key.
3) The TIPM has now been flashed with your car configuration.
4) Start the car as normal. It should run fine.    

Make sure to carefully compare the fuses present in your old TIPM to the ones on this replacement: If your car was delivered with special options that required an additional fuse that option may not have been included in the car this came out of, or this one may have had an option your car doesn't have. So removing or adding an additional fuse may be needed for that option to operate. Once you program it using the above steps the circuitry in the TIPM will configure itself appropriately.

Also note: If you've had the air bag or traction light issue with your old TIPM that warning light might come on the first time you start the car with this replacement. Don't worry, that's in the dash panel memory. Just turn the car off and restart it and the dash light should not appear as the TIPM has now corrected the fault in the dash memory. If your old TIPM was causing Check Engine Light problems, use an OBD-2 reader to clear the codes just before you remove your old one. This replacement has just come out of the test car and is perfectly 100% good so you want to clear any codes that your old one may have triggered in your Engine Control Module. If you had TIPM speedometer fault that may also stay in the dash panel memory the first time you drive with the replacement TIPM. If so, stop the car, turn it off, remove the key. Restart the car and see if the speedo works. If not, do the TIPM self programming sequence as above again. Then the speedometer will work. If you've got a Tire Pressure light issue, it might not be your TIPM. It might be a low battery on the sender inside the tire. Try inflating the tire to 5 pounds above recommended pressure and drive the car for a short while. If the Tire Pressure light goes off, the problem is the sender and NOT the TIPM. Then just bleed pressure to recommended level.

You may want to copy these instructions and have a print out with you when you change out your TIPM.
