Electronic boards pretty much never fail in cars. They have no moving parts and the chips are encased in epoxy or resin. When it fails it's pretty much always connected sensors, cabling or fuses or other external parts. And the board can usually tell you what part if you read out the error codes.

And the board can usually tell you what part if you read out the error codes.

The board also tells you if other parts are broken. Mechanics don't really independently diagnose stuff on modern cars anymore. They plug in the OBD scanner and the car tells them what might be wrong.

There is always need for a master mechanic to figure out the hard / weird stuff. But for every one of them you need 6 parts replacers to read codes.

Right, but still. It’s always some crappy electronic part that wasn’t actually tested in the real-world use case, and so the wires aren’t shielded enough or a something. It’s always the same shit. “Oh, we cheaped out on this part because reasons.”
