For Chrysler vehicles with PCM's identified by a \"v\" suffix, VIN programming is required. Not all Chrysler or Ford powertrain control modules require VIN programming or passive anti-theft system (P.A.T.S.) resets, but it is important to check the specific vehicle requirements. For Ford vehicles, ensure the correct ECM is installed and consult the vehicle’s service manual for any necessary programming or reset procedures. Using a compatible diagnostic tool such as a Tech 2 scanner may be necessary to complete the installation and reset procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCardone Engine Control Modules, including part number 78-1060F, are manufactured to meet stringent quality standards.
