Detailed Description

This Cardone engine control module, part number 79-8361V, is a remanufactured ECM for the 2004 Dodge Caravan. It is designed around the original OE application and uses four rectangular connectors, an aluminum housing, and male pin terminals to match the factory configuration. Flash programming is required, and the vehicle-specific calibration must be completed with the correct VIN and mileage information.

This part cross-references Dodge OE numbers 04748360AD and 04748360AE for the same application. For 2004 Dodge Caravan ECM replacement, this module is intended for vehicles identified with OE number 4748 360AD-AE.

Common Issues This Part May Resolve

• Engine no-start caused by a failed control module
• Check engine light related to ECM internal faults
• Intermittent drivability problems from damaged module circuitry
• Communication or calibration issues after module failure
• Electrical faults traced to worn solder joints or failed internal components

Installation Notes and Tips

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. Confirm the Ford, GM, or Chrysler programming requirements for the specific vehicle family before installation; Chrysler PCM units with a “V” suffix require VIN programming. For this 2004 Dodge Caravan application, flash programming is required and accurate VIN and mileage data must be entered during setup.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured electronic and powertrain control modules are engineered to meet or exceed OE performance expectations. Each unit is computer tested, and critical internal components are re-soldered or replaced to improve electrical integrity and long-term reliability.
