Product Details

The Cardone Engine Control Module line focuses on remanufactured electronic and powertrain control units that are reverse engineered to identify common failure points and correct original design weaknesses. Part number 79-8631V is a direct-fit ECM for Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan platforms that require VIN-specific flash programming and accurate mileage data during setup. This part cross-references Chrysler 4748631AA and 4748631AC for the same application.

Compatible With 2005 Chrysler Town & Country, 2005 Dodge Caravan, and 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, this ECM is built for vehicles using OE numbers 4748 631AA and AC-AI. The module is not flashable and does not use a removable PROM, so correct programming and application verification are important before installation.

Common Problems This ECM Can Address

• Check engine or drivability issues caused by a failed control module
• No-start or intermittent start conditions related to ECM failure
• Communication faults between the engine controller and vehicle systems
• Rough running, stalling, or poor fuel control from a damaged module
• Faults traced to internal solder joint or component failure

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 Chrysler PCM units identified with a “V” suffix, VIN programming is required. This module also requires flash programming, and accurate VIN and mileage information must be available for setup.

Confirm connector count, connector shape, and OE cross-reference numbers before ordering. For 2005 Chrysler Town & Country, 2005 Dodge Caravan, and 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan applications, use an OE-approved service procedure for programming and final verification.

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. Each unit is processed at Cardone’s Philadelphia manufacturing plant, where critical electronic components are reworked to help restore reliable operation.
