Whilst some people claim to be able to repair it, I'd find this unlikely as the electronic module itself is encased in resin so its a hard time digging at the faulty electronics. So, its more than likely they'd swap your faulty module with a second hand unit from a wreck, possibly a similar old version with the same electronics that could potentially fail some time in the near future.

In saying that, the first reason the module fails is because of faulty electronics. So you're better off getting a new module instead...get a quote first because the module itself costs about $600 new made by Bosch depending on which retail outlet you get it from, and its fairly easy to fit yourself with the right tools.
