A1 CARDONE 79-8521V engine control module (ecm) for the 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan V6 3.3L and other vehicles is a remanufactured part that controls the engine. It is designed to meet or exceed O.E. performance.
- CARDONE reverse engineering shows why the original unit failed, so original design weaknesses can be corrected
- Critical components are re-soldered or replaced, which helps prevent intermittent failures
- Each unit is 100% computer tested, with automated equipment or bench testing depending on application
- On-car vehicle validation tests durability and performance
- The remanufacturing process reduces the energy and raw material needed to make a new part by 80%
Quick facts
- Part: A1 CARDONE 79-8521V engine control module (ecm)
- Fits: the 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan V6 3.3L and other vehicles
- Condition: Remanufactured
A check engine light that stays on after a reset, an engine that shuts off for no reason or intermittent starting problems can mean the module has failed. These signs alone do not prove the module is at fault, since a bad wiring harness can look the same. If the module is the cause, this one replaces it.
Fits
The 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan V6 3.3L, 2003 Chrysler Town & Country V6 3.3L and 2003 Dodge Caravan V6 3.3L all take this module, as do other models. Each vehicle takes one. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
