Some Ford and Chrysler vehicles require VIN programming or passive anti-theft system (P.A.T.S.) reset procedures after ECM installation. For example, Chrysler PCM units with a \"v\" suffix need VIN programming. Ford vehicles may or may not require P.A.T.S. reset depending on the model and year. Use a compatible diagnostic tool such as a Tech 2 scanner to complete programming and reset procedures. Confirm the ECM is the root cause of the issue before replacement to avoid unnecessary installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCardone Engine Control Modules are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for durability and performance.
