Detailed Description

Cardone Engine Control Module 79-5425V is a remanufactured ECM designed to meet or exceed original equipment performance for select Chrysler and Dodge vehicles. The unit is built with two rectangular connectors, 40-pin male terminals, and an aluminum housing to match the original module configuration. For 2002 Chrysler Town & Country and 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan applications, vehicle-specific flash programming is required, and accurate VIN and mileage information must be provided during setup. This module is intended for vehicles listed with OE references 4748 427AE-AF or 5127 678AA, and it is a direct-fit replacement for the original engine control module in those applications.

This Cardone ECM 79-5425V is part of the Engine Control Module product line, which focuses on remanufactured electronic and powertrain control modules. Cardone uses reverse engineering to identify common failure points, then corrects original design weaknesses by re-soldering or replacing critical internal components. That process helps restore stable electrical connections and consistent module operation in Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan engine management systems.

This part cross-references Chrysler 04748427AE and 04748427AF for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Engine no-start conditions related to a failed ECM
• Check engine light issues caused by control module faults
• Intermittent drivability problems from internal module failure
• Communication or powertrain control errors tied to the original ECM
• Problems caused by worn solder joints or damaged internal electronics

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2002 Chrysler Town & Country, N/A, with OE # 4748 427AE-AF; vehicle-specific flash programming required on or off the vehicle.
• Fits 2002 Chrysler Town & Country, N/A, with OE # 5127 678AA; vehicle-specific flash programming required on or off the vehicle.
• Fits 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, N/A, without Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve; with OE # 5127 678AA; vehicle-specific flash programming required on or off the vehicle.
• Fits 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, N/A, without Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve; with OE # 4748 427AE-AF; vehicle-specific flash programming required on or off the vehicle.
• Verify the original failure cause before replacement; common causes include poor grounds, bad wiring harnesses, and shorted solenoids or relays.
• Chrysler PCM units with a V suffix require VIN programming.
• Use the correct OE-approved service procedure for programming and vehicle setup.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured electronic and powertrain control module is computer tested, and applications may also receive bench testing or on-car validation depending on the vehicle. The remanufacturing process is performed at Cardone’s Philadelphia manufacturing plant, where critical components are reworked to support reliable operation and OE-style fitment.
