My car is being a pain in the ass. Some of the pins on the big silver ECU (at the very back of the ECU box nearest the bulkhead) I found bent, others seem shorter like they've been pushed in. I've straightened the bent ones and reconnected the short ones temporarily with bits of wire but I just seem to get different errors. Before it was no steering angle sensor and no BAS, now I've cleared them and repaired the pins I get ABS/BAS/ESP.

Question is: can I borrow this ECU from another car to test it or is it coded to the vehicle?
 
Resolved by removing and opening ECU and discovering pins pushed in and shorting on metal backing plate inside. Straightened and pulled out etc. and all OK.
