Vehicle-specific flash programming is required on or off the vehicle, and accurate VIN and mileage information must be provided. Before replacing the original ECM, verify that the root cause of the failure has been corrected; common causes include poor grounds, power supply issues, wiring harness damage, and shorted solenoids or relays. Chrysler PCM units identified with a “V” suffix require VIN programming.For best results, confirm the OE engineering number on the original module matches the Cardone application before installation. If the vehicle has anti-theft or programming requirements, follow the OE service procedure for the specific application.Quality AssuranceCardone remanufactured electronic and powertrain control modules are rebuilt to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. Critical circuits are reworked at Cardone’s Philadelphia manufacturing plant, and each unit is tested with computer-based equipment or bench testing depending on the application. On-car validation is used to confirm durability and performance before release.The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, supporting a lower-waste repair option for the 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser.
