Cardone 79-5410V Engine Control Module (ECM)

Remanufactured ECM for 2002 Dodge Ram

Cardone 79-5410V is a remanufactured engine control module built for 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 applications with Federal Emission System. It is engineered to restore factory-style engine management performance with the correct connector layout and vehicle-specific flash programming requirements.

This Cardone Engine Control Module line focuses on remanufactured OE-style electronics for direct-fit replacement. For this application, the module uses an aluminum housing, three rectangular connectors, and 32-pin male terminals on each connector bank.

Key Features

• Remanufactured original equipment-style ECM for direct vehicle fit
• Fits 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 with Federal Emission System
• Cardone part number 79-5410V
• Three rectangular connectors with 32-pin male terminals
• Aluminum housing for OE-style packaging
• Flash programming required for vehicle-specific calibration
• Reverse-engineered remanufacturing process addresses original design weaknesses
• Critical components are re-soldered or replaced, then computer tested

Product Details

Cardone remanufactures electronic and powertrain control modules to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. Each unit is inspected through reverse engineering, then critical circuitry is reworked at the Philadelphia manufacturing plant to correct common failure points. The result is a remanufactured ECM that is validated for function and durability before release.

For 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 trucks, this module is listed for Federal Emission System applications with OE cross-reference coverage for 56028410AA through 56028410AG. Accurate VIN and mileage information are required for programming, and the module must be flashed to the vehicle before operation. Cardone 79-5410V is a practical replacement when the original ECM has failed and the vehicle needs restored engine control.

This part cross-references Dodge OE numbers 56028410AA and 56028410AG for the same application.

Common Problems This ECM Can Address

• No-start condition caused by a failed engine control module
• Check engine light triggered by internal ECM faults
• Intermittent drivability issues related to control module failure
• Communication problems between the ECM and vehicle systems
• Calibration or powertrain control errors after module replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the vehicle is a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, or Ram 3500 with Federal Emission System before ordering.
• Confirm the OE number on the original module matches the listed interchange range.
• Flash programming is required; provide accurate VIN and mileage during setup.
• Inspect grounds, power feeds, wiring harnesses, relays, and solenoids before replacing the ECM.
• Determine the root cause of the original failure so the replacement module is not damaged by an unresolved electrical issue.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured control modules are computer tested for reliability, and critical components are re-soldered or replaced during the remanufacturing process. The brand’s approach is focused on restoring OE-level function while reducing the material and energy demand associated with producing a new part.
