About the Cardone Engine Control Module Product Line

The Cardone Engine Control Module product line focuses on remanufactured ECM units that meet OEM specifications for engine management systems. These modules are engineered to provide reliable control of fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions systems. The 79-8631V ECM is part of this line, offering a balance of quality and value for Chrysler and Dodge vehicles requiring a replacement control module.

Product Details and Specifications

This ECM features four rectangular connectors, each with 38 male pin terminals, ensuring a secure and accurate electrical interface with the vehicle’s wiring harness. The aluminum housing provides effective heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining stable operation under engine bay conditions. As a remanufactured unit, it has undergone thorough testing to verify functionality and reliability. Flash programming is required to configure the module to the specific vehicle VIN and engine parameters, which is standard for Chrysler PCM units with a "v" suffix in the part number.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Engine misfires or rough running conditions
• Check engine light illumination related to ECM faults
• Failure to start or intermittent stalling
• Poor fuel economy due to incorrect engine management
• Emission control system malfunctions

Installation Notes and Tips

Before replacing the original ECM, verify that it is the root cause of the issue. The replacement ECM requires flash programming to the vehicle’s VIN using a compatible diagnostic tool. Chrysler PCM units with a "v" suffix, such as this part, must be VIN programmed to function correctly. Mount the module using the three factory mounting holes; note that mounting hardware is not included. Ensure all four connectors are securely attached to avoid communication errors.
