Remanufactured ECM for 2006 Aveo and Wave

Cardone 77-4384 is a remanufactured engine control module for select 2006 Chevrolet Aveo, Aveo5, Pontiac Wave, and Wave5 applications with California Emission System and OE number 96436784. It is built to restore factory-style engine management performance after an ECM failure.

Key Features

• Remanufactured Original Equipment-style engine control module for a precise vehicle fit
• Critical components are re-soldered or replaced at Cardone’s Philadelphia manufacturing plant
• 100% computer tested for function and reliability
• On-car vehicle validation is performed to verify durability and performance
• Remanufacturing reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part

Product Details

The Cardone Engine Control Module line focuses on restoring electronic and powertrain control performance by addressing common failure points found in the original unit. For this application, the 77-4384 ECM is engineered for 2006 Chevrolet Aveo and Aveo5, as well as 2006 Pontiac Wave and Wave5 models equipped with California Emission System and OE reference 96436784. This part cross-references Chevrolet and Pontiac OE number 96436784 for the same application.

Cardone remanufactured ECMs are reverse engineered to identify original design weaknesses, then corrected during the remanufacturing process. That approach helps deliver consistent electrical operation for vehicles that rely on accurate engine control, emissions management, and drivability inputs.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Engine no-start caused by a failed control module
• Check engine light related to ECM internal faults
• Rough idle or poor drivability tied to control module errors
• Emissions-related faults on California Emission System vehicles
• Intermittent electrical or communication issues traced to the ECM

Installation Notes

Before replacing the original ECM, verify the root cause of the failure. Common causes include poor grounds, power supply issues, damaged wiring harnesses, and shorted solenoids or relays. For Chrysler PCM applications with a “V” suffix, VIN programming is required; Ford applications may require a PATS reset depending on the vehicle; GM vehicles may require Passlock or Passkey VATS relearn procedures. Always confirm the engineering ID on the original module matches the correct Cardone number before installation.
