remember how i brought my car in to quis and he said i had a cps problem? well, it turns out it wasnt the only thing wrong. APPARENTLY my ecu wasnt working properly and was triggering the cps code. is that even possible???. so now theyre replacing the ecu... dont worry, im only paying a 100 deductible so these guys arent trying to rip me off.

so i just got off the phone with them and this is what they are replacing:
ECU
power steering unit
whole suspension assembly for the rear passenger side
rear view mirror

theyre not replacing the cps sensor cuz they said that theyre obdII scanner didnt pick up a cps code... how could i get the symptoms and the codes before but not anymore??
