Remanufactured ECM for Chrysler, Dodge, and MitsubishiCardone 79-3013 is a remanufactured Engine Control Module built for direct replacement in select Chrysler, Dodge, and Mitsubishi applications. It is engineered for OE-style fit and tested for reliable electronic performance, making it a practical choice for a 1997 Chrysler Sebring, 1997 Dodge Avenger, or 1997-1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse with the matching OE number.Key Features Remanufactured engine control module for electronic powertrain management Direct-fit aluminum housing with 2 rectangular connectors 40-pin male terminal layout for the listed applications Critical components are re-soldered or replaced during remanufacturing 100% computer tested for functionality and reliability Pre-programmed at the factory for the listed fitments Earth-conscious remanufacturing process reduces raw material and energy use versus new part production Product DetailsThe Cardone Engine Control Module line focuses on remanufactured electronic and powertrain control units that address common failure points found in original modules. For this application, Cardone 79-3013 is built to meet or exceed OE performance, with reverse-engineering used to identify design weaknesses and correct them during the remanufacturing process. This module is a direct replacement for select 1997 Chrysler Sebring, 1997 Dodge Avenger, and 1997-1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse vehicles using OE number 5293013AC.This part cross-references Chrysler 5293013AC and Dodge 5293013AC for the same application.What This ECM Can Help Resolve No-start or intermittent start conditions tied to a failed control module Driveability problems caused by internal ECM electronic faults Communication or powertrain control issues related to module failure Problems traced to damaged solder joints or weakened internal connections Replacement needs after confirming the original module is the source of the fault Installation NotesBefore replacing the original ECM, verify the root cause of the failure. Common causes include poor grounds, power supply issues, damaged wiring harnesses, and shorted solenoids or relays. For Chrysler PCM applications with a V suffix, VIN programming is required. Some Ford and GM anti-theft systems may require reset procedures on other applications, but this module is listed as pre-programmed for the vehicles shown here. Confirm the OE number on the original unit matches the Cardone reference before installation.Quality AssuranceEach Cardone remanufactured ECM is computer tested, and on-car validation is used where applicable to confirm durability and performance. The remanufacturing process includes re-soldering or replacement of critical components at Cardone’s Philadelphia manufacturing plant to help restore dependable electrical connections and long-term operation.
