1996 Dodge Caravan PCM
In 1996, the Dodge Caravan PCM managed the NS platform’s 3.3L or 3.8L V6 engine, coordinating with the 3-speed 31TH or 4-speed 41TE automatic transmission. The 1996 model year introduced OBD-II diagnostics to meet federal emissions standards, a key advancement for the Caravan in 1996. This Powertrain Control Module processed inputs from throttle position, crankshaft, and oxygen sensors to regulate fuel injection and ignition timing. Compatible with base, SE, and LE trims, the 1996 Dodge Caravan PCM ensured reliable engine performance, distinct from 1997’s refined diagnostics.

1996 Model Year Specifics
The 1996 Dodge Caravan PCM was integral to the NS platform’s debut, emphasizing family-friendly reliability. It used basic OBD-II protocols, processing minimal sensor data compared to 1997’s enhanced firmware. The 1996 PCM managed the 3.3L/3.8L V6’s fuel delivery and ignition, ensuring smooth operation for daily driving. Unlike later years, it lacked advanced misfire detection, making it unique to the 1996 model year’s simpler architecture. This module was critical for maintaining the Caravan’s performance in 1996, supporting its role as a versatile minivan.

BUYER BEWARE! NOT ALL COMPUTER SELLERS ARE EQUAL.
We are the ONLY company that runs every computer through a computer aided vehicle simulator to test for quality and compatibility with your car & VIN.

OVER 150,000 Customers Served
Every unit is programmed & tested in our facility in Cary NC
CarComputerExchange fully rebuilds and tests ALL computers. We are the ONLY seller that runs each computer through a computer aided vehicle simulator that tests every circuit in the module. Other companies run limited tests.
Most companies run limited tests. Some online stores simply repaint old units and sell without testing. Don't fall for the CHEAPER option.

Our testing & rebuilding process starts with a deep visual evaluation of the circuit board and all the electronic components. From water or acid corrosion, to fire or burn damage, we pay attention to every detail. We also scan the ECU memory or CPU to make sure that it is working properly.

We then test the ECU's with our proprietary electronic lab equipment on our bench, which emulates the car's engine to ensure accuracy in every diagnosis.
