Product Details

Cardone’s Engine Control Module line focuses on remanufactured electronic and powertrain control units that are reverse engineered to identify common failure points and correct original design weaknesses. For this Cardone 79-0220V ECM, the remanufacturing process includes replacing or re-soldering critical internal components at the Philadelphia manufacturing plant, followed by computer-based testing to verify operation. This part cross-references Dodge 56040220AB for the same application.

Use this module when servicing a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 or 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 with Federal Emission System calibration requirements. The part number 79-0220V is associated with applications that need VIN programming, so confirm the original module identification and vehicle data before installation.

What This ECM Helps Address

• No-start or hard-start conditions caused by a failed engine control module
• Driveability problems related to incorrect fuel, spark, or transmission control signals
• Check engine light concerns tied to internal ECM faults
• Communication issues between the ECM and vehicle sensors or actuators
• Calibration mismatch after replacing the original control module

Installation Notes

Before replacing the original ECM, verify that the root cause is not related to poor grounds, power supply issues, damaged wiring, or shorted relays and solenoids. This unit requires flash programming, and accurate VIN and mileage information are required for the vehicle-specific calibration. Confirm the OE number and application details before installation on your Dodge Ram 2500 or Dodge Ram 3500.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this ECM to meet or exceed original equipment performance expectations. Each unit is tested with automated computer equipment or bench-tested depending on application, and on-car validation is used to confirm durability and performance. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
