SME High Voltage Unlock for BMW G Series: Remove CP & Reset Voltage Counter
Professional Component Protection Removal and Voltage Counter Reset
Tired of critical high-voltage errors shutting down your BMW G Series? Fault codes like 21F4BC, 21F417, and 21F4BB mean your SME module has locked the high-voltage battery due to exceeded voltage counters and Component Protection (CP). Our expert SME High Voltage Unlock service is the permanent, certified solution to erase these faults and restore your BMW to full, safe operation.
What is the SME High Voltage Unlock Service?
This is not a simple code delete. Our service is a manufacturer-level programming routine performed by certified technicians using official BMW engineering protocols. We perform two critical steps remotely:
Remove Component Protection (CP)
We deactivate the security lock that binds the SME to the original VIN, allowing integration with your vehicle.
Reset Voltage Counter
We reset the internal counter that caused the faults, eliminating the root cause of high-voltage errors.
This process utilizes Secure Onboard Communication (SecOc), Secure Coding 2.0, and SFA (Signature Factor Analysis) to ensure a safe and permanent fix.

David Kim –
Absolutely brilliant service! SME removed the CP (Component Protection) and reset the high voltage counter on my G26 i4 after a battery module replacement. The process was flawless and my car’s HV system is now functioning perfectly. Their knowledge of BMW’s high voltage systems is exceptional.
Amanda Foster –
Outstanding expertise with BMW high voltage systems! They successfully unlocked my G08 iX3’s HV battery and reset the voltage counter after a controller replacement. The service was professional, and they explained the entire CP removal process clearly. Highly recommended for any BMW EV coding needs.
Marcus Weber –
Professional service for my G20 330e. Needed CP removal after replacing the high voltage charging module. The team knew exactly what they were doing with the BMW systems. Took about 2 hours and everything works perfectly now. One star off only because the appointment availability was limited.
Thomas Richter –
Good technical service for my G30 530e. They handled the CP removal competently after I replaced the DC-DC converter. The voltage counter reset was completed successfully. The only minor issue was communication during the process, but the actual technical work was top-notch.
