Cardone 77-8706 Engine Control Module

Remanufactured Engine Control Module

Cardone 77-8706 is a remanufactured engine control module built to restore proper engine management on select Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac applications. It is engineered for OE-style fitment and computer-tested for dependable operation after remanufacturing.

This Engine Control Module line focuses on correcting common electronic failures by reworking critical internal components and validating each unit before release. For 1989-1993 Buick Century and Skylark, 1989-1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and Cutlass Cruiser, 1992-1993 Oldsmobile Achieva, 1989-1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, and 1992-1993 Pontiac Grand Am applications, the module is a direct replacement that follows the original vehicle configuration.

Key Features

• Remanufactured OE-style engine control module for precise vehicle fit
• Critical components are re-soldered or replaced during remanufacturing
• 100% computer tested for functionality and reliability
• On-car validation is used to confirm durability and performance
• Earth-friendly remanufacturing process reduces raw material and energy use versus new-part production

This part cross-references Buick 1228706 and Pontiac 16198266 for the same application.

What It Helps Resolve

• Engine no-start conditions caused by a failed control module
• Intermittent drivability problems tied to internal ECM faults
• Communication or control issues from damaged electronic circuitry
• Performance concerns related to poor solder joints or worn components
• Repeat failures caused by original design weaknesses in the module

Installation Notes

Before replacing the original ECM or PCM, verify the root cause of the failure. Common causes include poor grounds and power supply issues, damaged wiring harnesses, and shorted solenoids or relays. Transfer PROM(s)/CALPACK as required, and perform any relearns specified for the vehicle. Chrysler PCM units with a “V” suffix require VIN programming; some Ford applications require a PATS reset, and GM vehicles may require Passlock or Passkey VATS relearn procedures. Confirm the Ford engineering ID or OE service information before installation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this Engine Control Module to meet or exceed OE performance expectations. Each unit is tested with automated computer equipment or bench-tested, depending on application, to verify operation before it leaves the manufacturing process.
