Detailed Product Description

This Cardone ECM (part number 78-4902) is engineered for Ford trucks and vans, including the Bronco, F-150, F-250, F-350, and E-Series Econoline models. It manages engine functions such as fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions control. The module requires proper VIN programming and may involve passive anti-theft system (PATS) considerations depending on the vehicle.
