Product Details

Cardone’s Engine Control Module line focuses on remanufactured electronic and powertrain control units that are tested to meet or exceed original equipment performance. For this application, the module is built for the Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon with California emissions equipment, and it requires accurate VIN and mileage information during programming. The 79-9823V ECM is intended for buyers replacing a failed factory control module and needing a direct-fit electronic replacement for the original unit.

This part cross-references Dodge OE numbers such as 5269823AA and 5293149AA for the same application.

Common Problems This ECM Can Address

• Engine no-start or intermittent start conditions caused by a failed control module
• Check engine light concerns related to ECM internal faults
• Driveability issues tied to incorrect fuel or ignition control
• Communication problems between the ECM and vehicle systems
• Failure after electrical damage, poor grounds, or wiring-related stress

Installation Notes

Prior to replacement, verify the original failure was not caused by poor grounds, power supply issues, damaged wiring harnesses, or shorted relays and solenoids. This module requires flash programming and vehicle-specific setup; accurate VIN and mileage are required. Confirm the OE number on the original ECM/PCM matches the Cardone application before installation. For Chrysler PCM applications with a “V” suffix, VIN programming is required.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured control module is reverse-engineered to identify failure points, then re-soldered or rebuilt as needed at the Philadelphia manufacturing plant. Units are computer tested to verify operation before release, and the remanufacturing process reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
