I had one go bad on mine. When I bought it, #1 had been replaced due to a code. Code persisted, so I replaced the module. Before replacing the module I was getting codes for #1 and #6 (If I recall correctly). After replacing the module, #6 persisted. So I replaced it and now all is fine.
Replacing all 6 seems excessive to me. Especially with how easily the intake comes off.
