Rog mentioned in his comment on this thread that the BCU pins can get mucky or corroded. My thought was that if on this vehicle the BCU is one of the units with a terminating resistor, bad pin connection might lead to a bus term missing or high value and hence as you say due to reflections data corruption to the instruments.
Hi Tony, yes exactly

Here's one of my terminators (R30) next to the CAN chip on my MFU. Most likely the GDI's BCU will be similar. The connectors on mine are not what you would particularly class as, ruggedized.
