Cardone 79-7658V Engine Control Module

Engine Control Module for Chrysler and Dodge

This remanufactured Cardone Engine Control Module is built for 2000 Chrysler Cirrus and 2000 Dodge Stratus applications that require OE-style electronic engine management. Part number 79-7658V is flash programming required and is identified with a V suffix for VIN programming on Chrysler PCM applications.

Cardone remanufactured electronic and powertrain control modules are engineered to address original failure points, with critical components re-soldered or replaced and each unit computer tested for function and reliability. The aluminum housing, 2 rectangular connectors, and 40-pin male terminals support a direct-fit replacement for the listed vehicles.

Detailed Description

Cardone’s Engine Control Module line focuses on remanufactured electronic and powertrain control units that meet OE performance expectations. For this application, 79-7658V is the correct ECM for 2000 Chrysler Cirrus and 2000 Dodge Stratus models listed with OE number 4606658AA. This part cross-references Chrysler and Dodge OE number 4606658AA for the same application.

Because this module requires flash programming, accurate VIN and mileage information are needed during setup. Chrysler PCM units identified with a V suffix require VIN programming, and the replacement should be matched to the correct engineering number before installation. For 2000 Dodge Stratus with Federal Emission System and 2000 Chrysler Cirrus, verify the original unit and calibration details before programming.

Common Issues This ECM May Resolve

• Engine no-start caused by a failed control module
• Intermittent drivability problems tied to internal ECM faults
• Communication or calibration issues after module failure
• Hard-start or stall conditions related to electronic control loss
• Faults traced to damaged solder joints or internal component failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Before replacing the original ECM, confirm the root cause of the failure. Common causes include poor grounds, power supply issues, damaged wiring harnesses, and shorted solenoids or relays. Verify connector style, terminal count, and the OE engineering number before programming and installation.

For Chrysler PCM applications with a V suffix, VIN programming is required. Use accurate VIN and mileage data, and follow an OE-approved service procedure for flash programming. If the vehicle has related electrical faults, correct them before installing the replacement module to avoid repeat failure.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured control module is tested with computer equipment or bench-tested, depending on application, and validated on-vehicle for durability and performance. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
