Default BAD ECU (COMPUTER) NEED HELP!

I had the engine light on on my 2006 s2000. The dealer found the ect sensor 2 defective (error p2185 circuit high voltage) after changing the piece and checking the wires (4 hours later!!!!) they tell me my computer is defective and I should replace it (just the piece here in Canada is 900$!) Any advice???

By the way it's an american s2000

Thanks

My first ecu used to throw a constant P0411 code. $75 for a used ecu on ebay and $30 to the guy at the dealership to program my keys to the new ecu and it was done.

It looks like that ECU should work, and it also sounds like the technician at your dealership has weak diagnostic abilities.

You have to use an ECU from 2006+. The 2004-2005 AP2 weren't drive by wire and won't work in your car. You might also check into Flashpro and see if that would work for you.
