Cardone 79-9817V Engine Control Module

Remanufactured ECM for Neon Applications

The Cardone 79-9817V Engine Control Module is a remanufactured ECM built for 1998-1999 Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon applications with Federal or California emissions. It is flash programmable and requires vehicle-specific programming with accurate VIN and mileage data for proper setup.

Key Features

• Remanufactured Original Equipment-style engine control module for direct vehicle fit
• Flashable and requires flash programming for application-specific calibration
• Two rectangular connectors with 40-pin male terminals
• Aluminum housing for OE-style mounting and durability
• Critical internal components are re-soldered or replaced during remanufacturing
• 100% computer tested for function and reliability
• Earth-conscious remanufacturing process reduces raw material and energy use versus new part production

Product Details

Cardone Engine Control Module 79-9817V is engineered for 1998-1999 Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon vehicles listed with OE references 5269817AA through 5269817AJ and 5293142AA. This ECM is designed for vehicles that require vehicle-specific flash programming on or off the vehicle, and Chrysler PCM units with a “V” suffix require VIN programming. The Cardone remanufactured control module line focuses on correcting common failure points found in original units, including solder joint and component issues, while restoring OE-level electrical performance.

This part cross-references Chrysler 5269817AA and 5269817AJ for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• No-start or hard-start conditions related to ECM failure
• Check engine light concerns caused by control module faults
• Driveability problems tied to incorrect fuel or ignition control
• Communication or calibration issues after a failed original module
• Intermittent electrical faults caused by internal module damage

Installation Notes

• Verify the original ECM/PCM failed before replacement; inspect grounds, power feeds, wiring harnesses, solenoids, and relays.
• Vehicle-specific flash programming is required, and accurate VIN and mileage information must be provided.
• Chrysler PCM units identified with a “V” suffix need VIN programming.
• Confirm the OE number on the original module matches the Cardone application before installation.
• Use an OE-approved service procedure for programming and final verification.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured ECM is computer tested and built from an OE-style core process that includes re-soldering or replacement of critical components. On-car validation is used on applicable units to confirm durability and performance before release. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
