    This right here, there’s not a whole lot on a PCB that can “explode” on their own, and caps is at the top of that short list. And early 2000s, 90s caps are notorious for this issue

    Next ECU you get @[email protected], check the caps or just replace them anyways. Even high quality ones are not very expensive

      Is replacing the caps even an option? All the cars I ever owned had the entire ECU potted for waterproofing
