Product Details

Cardone remanufactured electronic and powertrain control modules are built to meet or exceed original equipment performance standards. For this ECM, Cardone uses reverse engineering to identify failure points in the original design, then re-solders or replaces critical internal components at its Philadelphia manufacturing plant. Each unit is computer tested before release to verify operation. This part number 79-8318 is a direct-fit engine control module for the 1994-1995 Dodge Ram 1500 and is listed with OE reference 56028318. This part cross-references Dodge OE numbers 4798345 and 4886663 for the same application.

Common Problems This ECM Can Address

• No-start condition caused by a failed engine control module
• Intermittent stalling or drivability issues tied to ECM failure
• Check engine light concerns related to control module faults
• Communication or powertrain control errors from an original module breakdown
• Vehicle performance problems after confirming wiring, grounds, and related components are sound

Installation Notes

Before replacing the original ECM, verify the root cause of the failure. Common causes include poor grounds, power supply issues, damaged wiring harnesses, and shorted solenoids or relays. For this application, the module is pre-programmed at the factory. Confirm the OE number on the original unit matches the listed application before installation. If the vehicle has additional system faults, address them first to avoid repeat module failure.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured control modules are tested with automated computer equipment or bench-tested, depending on application, and validated on vehicle for durability and performance. The remanufacturing process also reduces the energy and raw material needed to produce a new part by about 80%, supporting a more resource-efficient repair.
