Default Body electric control module replaced — odometer flashing

Hey everyone. I recently had an issue with my passenger window that required replacing the body electric control module. I was advised that the unit is no longer in production by Land Rover, and sourcing a used unit was the only course of action to restore window function. An inexpensive operational unit was sourced, and all was well.

Except, according to the tech, the units are VIN-specific, and the chassis sees a discrepancy between the mileage of my Disco and the mileage of the new unit, which causes the odometer to flash. Upon further exploration, it was learned that mileage cannot be passed over to a new module.


The odometer is functional and advancing through additional mileage, just flashing as it goes. It's not a terrible problem, but wondering if this is actually true, or if any of the experts here have heard of this issue or a potential solution before.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Typically you change out the ecu, bcu, and gauge cluster together or you have problems. If you have sai I got a set you can have.

I've swapped BCM's before without doing a set. Haven't encountered the flashing odometer yet.

Nanocom unit can sync Cluster to the BCU & you can also turn off the flashing Odometer with a Nanocom.

Thanks Best4x4! I'm not familiar with a Nanocom ... anything specific I need to know about hunting one down or using one?

It’s pretty straight forward to program. If I was close I’d just program it for you!

Hi RoRover
What was your window problem?
Ive just had the dash out on my D2 and now the front passenger window blows the circuit fuse.
I’m just starting to learn about the BCU and hoping my problem is simple wiring issue, but interested to hear your issues as part of my diagnosis.
Cheers!
