ADVANTAGE |
|
|
|
CLEANING
PROCESS |
|
No
residue found |
|
Rough
cleaning processes.Cleaning residue found on board
will attract moisture leading to intermittent failure and
corrosion. |
|
Complete
and consistent cleaning ensures maximum life of unit by
removing all contaminants from the ECM board.
|
|
|
|
SOLDER
JOINTS |
|
100%
reflow on all critical components. |
|
Poorly
executed material joining.Signs of poor "capillary
action" found on J-leads caused by inconsistent heat
and temperature of soldering iron. This will cause J-lead
connection to break under adverse conditions when vehicle
demand on the ECM is at its highest.
|
|
High
quality reflow ensures J-leads will stay connected despite
hostile engine environment, creating a longer life for the
ECM. |
|
|
|
CONFORMAL
COAT |
|
Thick,
smooth, conformal coat that meets or exceeds OEM
specifications. |
|
Thin
and uneven conformal coating. Thin coating (2 MILS),
minimizes protection of ECM and uneven coating creates
pockets for moisture to collect. Moisture pockets lead to
excessive corrosion and premature failure of unit.
|
|
The
smooth thickness (3-4 MILS) of CARDONE’s conformal coat
ensures maximum protection over the entire ECM board. |
|
|
|
PROM
CORK |
|
All
components are included with ECM, including both PROM
corks. |
|
Missing
second PROM cork. Without both PROM corks in place, ECM
board is able to flex while inserting or removing the
PROM—potentially causing critical leads to break.
|
|
By
ensuring both PROM corks are included, CARDONE protects
the unit by preventing flexing of the ECM board. |
|
|
LIMP
HOME CHIP |
|
All
components of the ECM are fully functional. |
|
Limp
home chip short circuited. With shorted limp home chip,
no back-up device exists for the ECM — potentially
causing motorist to become stranded. |
|
Going
the extra mile, CARDONE ensures the entire unit is 100%
functional, maximizing the ECM’s performance and
reliability. |
|
|
|
PART
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER |
|
ECM
is bar-coded appropriately. |
|
Bar-code
coming loose. Without proper bar-code label, ECM finished good or core cannot be identified by installer or
remanufacturer. |
|
All
CARDONE ECMs are easily recognizable, with a clear and
consistent identification system.
|
|
|
CONCLUSION:
CARDONE's ISO9001 and TS16949 certified remanufacturing processes not only offer
a high quality, low cost
alternative to new parts, but make them the leading choice
in the remanufactured market.
