• 2 rectangular connectors with 40-pin male terminals
• Aluminum housing with 3 mounting holes
• Flash programming required for vehicle-specific setup
• Critical components are re-soldered or replaced during remanufacturing
• 100% computer tested for function and reliability
• Earth-friendly remanufacturing process reduces raw material and energy use versus new part production

Product Details

The Cardone Engine Control Module line focuses on restoring electronic and powertrain control performance after original unit failure. For this application, the 79-6040V is remanufactured at Cardone’s Philadelphia manufacturing plant, where key electrical components are reworked and each unit is tested before release. This module is a direct-fit replacement for Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus vehicles listed with OE reference 4896040AA through 4896040AJ, and it requires flash programming with accurate VIN and mileage information.

This part cross-references Chrysler OE numbers 04896040AA and 04896040AB for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Engine no-start conditions caused by a failed ECM
• Driveability problems related to incorrect fuel or ignition control
• Communication faults tied to a damaged control module
• Intermittent stalling or poor running from internal module failure
• Check engine concerns traced to ECM malfunction

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2001 Chrysler Sebring, N/A, with OE # 4896040AA-AJ and vehicle-specific flash programming required on or off the vehicle. Fits 2001 Dodge Stratus, N/A, with OE # 4896040AA-AJ and vehicle-specific flash programming required on or off the vehicle. Verify the original Ford-style anti-theft notes do not apply here; for this Chrysler/Dodge application, confirm the VIN and mileage before programming. Before replacing the original ECM, inspect grounds, power feeds, wiring harness condition, and related solenoids or relays to confirm the root cause of failure. Chrysler PCM units identified with a “V” suffix require VIN programming.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this ECM to meet or exceed OE performance expectations. The unit is reverse-engineered to identify common failure points, then critical components are re-soldered or replaced and the finished module is computer tested to verify operation. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
