As I said in the other thread, its prohibitively expensive to just throw a part at that and hope it works... now you know for sure... might shop and see if you can find a used one... they fail on cars, but I wouldn't say they are a common failure...

So how much do you have to pay the dealer total for the odb scan and pulling the codes? Regardless of the amount, I'd fight it considering you can get that **** done for free at even a crappy auto parts store.
