Product Details

Cardone 79-6511V is a remanufactured Engine Control Module (ECM) for Chrysler Concorde and Intrepid, as well as Dodge Intrepid models listed in the fitment data. It is built to meet OE fit and electrical requirements, with a rectangular 4-connector layout and aluminum housing. Because this module requires flash programming, the vehicle must be programmed correctly after installation to avoid drivability or starting concerns. Chrysler PCM units identified with a “V” suffix require VIN programming, and accurate VIN and mileage information is required for setup.

This part cross-references Chrysler 4896511AC and Dodge 4896727AA for the same application.

Common Problems This Module May Address

• Engine no-start condition after ECM failure
• Drivability issues caused by a failed powertrain control module
• Communication faults related to internal module damage
• Intermittent electrical operation from weakened solder joints
• Check engine concerns traced to ECM malfunction

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the OE number on the original module before ordering.
• Confirm the vehicle has the correct VIN and mileage available for programming.
• Flash programming is required after installation.
• Inspect grounds, power feeds, wiring harnesses, solenoids, and relays before replacing the ECM.
• Determine the root cause of the original failure before installing the replacement module.
• Some Chrysler PCM units with a “V” suffix require VIN programming.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this ECM by reverse engineering failed units to identify original design weaknesses, then re-solders or replaces critical components at its Philadelphia manufacturing plant. Each module is computer tested to verify operation before release. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
