Product Details

Cardone’s Engine Control Module line focuses on remanufactured electronic and powertrain control units that are rebuilt to meet or exceed original equipment performance. For Part Number 79-9060, the module is reverse engineered to identify common failure points, then repaired at Cardone’s Philadelphia manufacturing plant with re-soldered or replaced critical components. The result is a remanufactured ECM for 1996 Dodge Neon and 1996 Plymouth Neon models that is built for direct replacement and reliable engine management.

This part cross-references Dodge and Plymouth OE numbers such as 4699060 and 5269762 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Engine no-start or hard-start conditions related to ECM failure
• Intermittent drivability issues caused by poor module connections
• Check engine light concerns tied to control module faults
• Fuel and ignition control problems from a failed engine computer
• Communication or performance issues after diagnosing the original ECM as the source

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. Chrysler PCM units with a “V” suffix require VIN programming, so confirm the exact module identification before installation. This module is not flashable and does not require flash programming.

For 1996 Dodge Neon and 1996 Plymouth Neon applications, confirm connector style, terminal count, and emission calibration before ordering. If the vehicle uses anti-theft or programming-related functions, follow the OE service procedure for the specific application.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this ECM using computer testing and application-specific validation to confirm operation before release. The process is designed to restore OE-level performance while reducing the energy and raw material needed to produce a new part.
