Hey Kurtz, actually, I did not pull the ECBM afterwards at all last winter. When I uncovered it this spring I didn't have those codes flashing anymore. I didn't really do anything to fix the issue, but it just stopped happening. There was no difference in drivability, just annoying to have to keep resetting them when they would show up. 2K on the odometer so far this year and all is good. I know this isn't helping you any to make your decision, but that's what happened in my case.
There are several good videos on Youtube that show how to go about the soldering if you so choose. It doesn't look to be that hard of a chore to fix. hardwst would be to get at the bolts that holds the ECBM in place.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance, good luck with it. Let us know how it turns out.
