Default ECU went out

Check engine light came on then warning Suspension System Service. Took it in and they tell me the ECU went out and needs to be replaced, I trust the dealer but.....
Anyone else run into this issue? Also had small oil pan leak

I had to replace my ECU. My oil pan shows a little seepage, but it's not bad enough to repair at this time (kinda pricey).

My ECU went out last summer. Cost about $1K for part, programming and installation. I have the old ECU.

Best time to do the oil pan leak gasket is at the time you do the HB replacement as you have to move all the same crap out of the way.
