Detailed Product Description

This Cardone ECM features two rectangular connectors, each with 40 male pin terminals, ensuring proper electrical connections with the vehicle’s wiring harness. The aluminum housing provides durability and heat dissipation, essential for maintaining stable operation under engine bay conditions. As a remanufactured unit, it complies with e-waste standards, supporting environmental responsibility. Flash programming is required to match the vehicle’s VIN and specific engine parameters, which is common for Chrysler PCM units with a "v" suffix in the part number.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Engine misfires or rough idling in Chrysler 300M and Dodge Intrepid
• Check engine light triggered by faulty ECM
• Failure to start or intermittent stalling
• Poor fuel economy due to incorrect engine control
• Emission control system malfunctions

Installation Notes and Tips

Before replacing the original ECM, verify that it is the root cause of the issue. The replacement ECM 79-6397V requires flash programming to the vehicle’s VIN using a compatible scan tool. Note that mounting hardware is not included, so retain original fasteners. Ensure all electrical connectors are securely attached to avoid communication errors. For Chrysler vehicles, confirm if passive anti-theft system (P.A.T.S.) reset or programming is necessary.
