Detailed Product Description

The Cardone 78-9164F Engine Control Module is a critical component that controls various engine functions such as fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions control. It is designed to replace the original ECM in Ford Focus vehicles, restoring proper engine operation and drivability. This module requires proper VIN programming to match the vehicle’s identification number, especially for Chrysler PCM models with a "v" suffix, and similar considerations apply for Ford vehicles with passive anti-theft systems (P.A.T.S). Not all Ford vehicles require a P.A.T.S reset, but it is important to verify this based on your specific model and year.
