Detailed Product Description

This Cardone ECM features a durable aluminum housing and a single rectangular connector with 104 pin terminals, ensuring secure and accurate connections to the vehicle’s wiring harness. The module requires flash programming to match the vehicle’s specific engine and security parameters. It does not include mounting hardware and has no mounting holes, so it is intended to be installed using the original vehicle hardware.

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installing the Cardone 78-9190F ECM, verify the original module is the cause of the issue. Flash programming is required to configure the ECM for the specific vehicle, so use a compatible scan tool or visit a professional technician for programming. Note that this ECM does not include mounting hardware, so retain the original fasteners during removal. For Ford vehicles, confirm if a passive anti-theft system (P.A.T.S.) reset is necessary, as not all models require it.
