Full-Cylinder Control for Your Chevrolet Colorado
The Recontrol-X AFM/DFM Disabler for Chevrolet Colorado is designed for 2015–2019 Colorado models equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine.
Once connected through the factory OBD-II port, the module helps prevent compatible cylinder-deactivation operation and maintains full-cylinder operation while active.

The module installs directly through the factory OBD-II diagnostic connection.
Direct OBD-II Connection: Plug the module directly into the vehicle’s diagnostic port.

No Special Tools Required: Installation requires no mechanical engine work.
No Permanent ECU Flash: The factory ECU does not need to be permanently reprogrammed.
This straightforward installation method is a central feature of established AFM/DFM disablers.
Maintain Full V6 Operation
