Detailed Product Description

This Cardone ECM (part number 78-4895) is a critical component for managing engine functions in Ford Bronco and F-Series trucks.

  • VIN programming or P.A.T.S. reset may be necessary depending on vehicle model and year
  • Use a compatible diagnostic tool such as a Tech 2 scanner for programming and resetting
