Cardone 79-8229V Engine Control Module

Remanufactured ECM for Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth

Cardone 79-8229V is a remanufactured engine control module built for specific 1998 Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth applications. It is engineered to restore factory-style engine management performance with flash programming required for the vehicle application.

This Cardone Engine Control Module line focuses on remanufactured OE-style electronics for accurate fitment and dependable operation. For 1998 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, Plymouth Grand Voyager, and Plymouth Voyager applications, the module is built around the original housing and connector layout for direct replacement service.

• Remanufactured Original Equipment-style ECM for precise vehicle fit
• Two rectangular connectors with 40-pin male terminals
• Aluminum housing for OE-style mounting and durability
• Critical components are re-soldered or replaced during remanufacturing
• 100% computer tested for functionality and reliability
• Flash programming required for vehicle-specific calibration

What This ECM Helps Address

• Engine no-start or hard-start conditions related to control module failure
• Driveability problems caused by incorrect fuel or ignition control
• Check engine concerns tied to ECM communication or internal faults
• Intermittent electrical issues from failed solder joints or worn internal components
• Replacement needs after diagnosing poor grounds, wiring faults, or shorted relays/solenoids

Installation Notes

Verify the original ECM/PCM part number and vehicle calibration before installation. Chrysler PCM units identified with a “V” suffix require VIN programming, and this application requires flash programming with accurate VIN and mileage information. Confirm the root cause of the original failure before replacing the module, including grounds, power feeds, wiring harness condition, and related solenoids or relays.

Some Chrysler, Ford, and GM anti-theft systems may require additional reset or programming procedures depending on the vehicle. Follow an OE-approved service manual or scan-tool procedure for the exact application.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this ECM by reverse engineering the failed unit, correcting known design weaknesses, and testing each module with computer-based validation or bench testing depending on application. The process is designed to meet or exceed OE performance while reducing raw material and energy use compared with manufacturing a new part. This part cross-references Chrysler OE numbers such as 4748229AF and 4748229AK for the same application.
