Remanufactured products only require 15-20% of the total energy and material it takes to manufacture
new parts while keeping usable cores out of landfills.
CARDONE's skilled technicians and engineers can completely rebuild your part and return it to you,
good as new. Learn More.
Product Description
CARDONE Remanufactured Electronic and Powertrain Control Modules are designed to meet or exceed O.E. performance. Reverse engineering provides insight into how and why the unit originally failed, allowing our engineers to identify and correct original design weaknesses. All critical components are re-soldered or replaced at our Philadelphia manufacturing plant, and each unit is 100% computer tested to ensure reliability. CARDONE is committed to getting your vehicle back to peak performance.
- Tested with automated computer equipment or bench-tested, depending on application, to ensure functionality.
- Re-soldering of critical components ensures superior electrical connections. This prevents intermittent failures and leads to longer product life.
- On-car vehicle validation is done to test durability and performance.
- As a remanufactured Original Equipment part, this unit guarantees a perfect vehicle fit.
- Our remanufacturing process is earth-friendly, as it reduces the energy and raw material needed to make a new part by 80%.
Product & Technical
What’s the difference between an ECM and a PCM?
“ECM” stands for Electronic Control Module. “PCM” stands for Powertrain Control Module. Both the ECM and PCM control the engine; however, the PCM also has control over the transmission.Do I have to transfer anything from my original ECM/PCM?
Some GM applications have a knock module that must be transferred to the replacement module. Some older Ford applications have a calibration module that must be transferred to the replacement module.Do GM vehicles have a passive anti-theft system?
Yes, most GM vehicles have a VATS, Pass Key or Pass Lock anti-theft system.The replacement PCM for a Ford vehicle won’t start the vehicle. Why?
Ensure that the PCM was properly flash programmed for the vehicle. Also note whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford "passive anti-theft system", which requires an on-car relearn.Do all Ford vehicles require a Passive Anti-Theft System (P.A.T.S) reset?
No, not all Ford vehicles require PATS reset. Check the PATS chart found on the O.E. Manufacturer’s Service site for your application.What steps should I take to ensure the original PCM is causing the issue?
Prior to replacing the original ECM/PCM, the installer should determine what caused the original to fail. Common causes of failures are: poor grounds and power, a bad wiring harness and short-circuited solenoids/relays.Do I need a scanner to reset the anti-theft system
Not necessarily. There is a 30-minute manual procedure that can be done without a scanner. Refer to your O.E. manufacturer’s approved service manual for details.What are the most common symptoms of a bad PCM?
Check Engine Light staying on after resetting, engine turning off for no reason, loss of spark, loss of fuel injection, loss of pulse on fuel pump, intermittent starting problems.Do all Chrysler Power Train Control Modules (PCM) need VIN programming?
Chrysler models 1996 and newer will need to be VIN programmed.Warranty Policy
