Use a compatible diagnostic tool such as a Tech 2 scanner to complete programming and reset procedures. Incorrect installation or programming may prevent the vehicle from starting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCardone’s Engine Control Module 78-9173F undergoes rigorous testing to meet OEM standards for durability and performance.
