Default 96 accord ECM dead

My car is 96 accord. The check engine light never comes on. I went to a garage. They told me the ECM is dead because they bypass the ECM, the light is on. Oh, I drove the car almost 6 months, this is my first car. Is it really bad to my car? I am worried about it. And they told me the used ECM is around $275, labor is $120. Is it reasonable? Thanks a lot.

If its a 96 and under 150k miles, Honda should replace it for free under the 14year/150k mile extended emissions warranty/recall. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Thanks a lot! Yes, I did, because I was anxious for it.
