Hey guys so my car stopped cranking over got it scanned an it's coming up with 3 errors not sure if it's the ecu that needs replacing or if one error is just setting off the rest I get low fuel error and powertrain error come up on the dash anyone who has had these problems and could help would be appreciated thanks
Does changing an ecu with one that came out the same model car work for plug n play?

P0700 - transmission control system
P0206 - injectior circuit open (cylinder 6)
P0601 - internal control module mem

It’s more complicated, you need to use a TechII and code it to the car. I think you also need the VIN of the car it came out of.
Best do some research, there are posts on here about repairing the ECU, sometimes they suffer a burnt out relay.

Cause and effect, process of elimination, rather than jump into the fray and replace the ECU, which may not even be necessary. Have it thoroughly scanned and recorded faults followed to their cause.
