Avoid Mileage Discrepancies After Used BCM Installation for the 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Hummer H3
When replacing a secondhand or used Body Control Module (BCM) in vehicles like the 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, or Hummer H3, it’s crucial to avoid mileage discrepancies. If a used BCM with higher mileage is installed before cloning, the instrument panel cluster (ICP) will permanently adopt the higher mileage. Even reinstalling the original BCM won’t revert this change, making additional services necessary to correct the mileage.
In some cases, a used BCM may already be functioning in the vehicle, but the mileage displayed is incorrect. To fix this, the original BCM’s data must be cloned into the replacement BCM to restore the proper data. Afterward, any relearning processes that were performed to get the used BCM to work will need to be repeated.
Three Simple Solutions to Avoid Mileage Issues:
-
Don't Install the Used BCM Before Cloning: The simplest way to avoid mileage discrepancies is to ensure the used BCM is cloned before installation. This prevents the ICP from syncing with any mileage stored in the used BCM. Check out our 2004-2007 BCM Clone Programming Service and 2008-2012 BCM Clone Programming Service for more details.
-
Install a New Cluster: A new instrument panel cluster will ensure no mileage discrepancies occur. Once installed, the new cluster will learn the correct mileage from the cloned BCM.
-
Send in Your Cluster for a Reset: If you want to keep your original cluster, send it to us for a reset. Once reset, the cluster will learn the correct mileage from the cloned BCM after reinstallation. For this service, visit our Cluster Reset Service.
By following these solutions, you can prevent mileage mismatches and ensure your vehicle operates smoothly. Our BCM Clone Programming Service guarantees that your replacement BCM is correctly cloned, allowing the instrument cluster to display the correct mileage once installed.
