OT- Car mechanical help

[little a]

I have a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder that has a bad ECM (P0603 code)- guidance would be much appreciated. Should I go 1) go to a dealership for a new one and programming- $1100
2) send it off to a ECM repair place -$200 (no guarantee they can repair)
3) buy a junkyard ECM for $100-150 and then pay programmer $150-200
Anyone done ECM repair? Thanks

If you have some decent car repair skills and some time, I'd go for door #3 and check for Pathfinder forums that discuss how to re-program if needed.

Unless you’re experienced, I wouldn’t bother.

Rebuilt my sisters Sentra with my dad when she totaled it and it was a hell of a project.

There should be a JDM specialist near you that’d do it cheaper than the dealer.

I'd go with 3 and keep price low. Especially if junk yard will guarantee it. If it's bad they should stand behind it
