Congratulations - you have gotten 190K out of your module! This module is mounted under the passenger side cabin filter in the engine compartment - a very hot place to exist. The most common failure source on these modules is heat and vibration, which causes soldered joints on the circuit board to fail. If this is your original ISM, you have done well indeed.
