About the 2012 GMC Canyon
Model year 2012 is part of the first-generation Canyon (2004–2012). It is the last model year of this generation and includes the running changes made during production, which is why a manual for the exact year matters.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2012 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “C”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 14 years old, a 2012 vehicle often needs work on the cooling system, timing components, suspension bushings, motor mounts and corroded electrical connectors, all jobs where the exact factory procedure and torque values save time.
Same generation: 2004 GMC Canyon, 2005 GMC Canyon, 2006 GMC Canyon, 2007 GMC Canyon, 2008 GMC Canyon, 2009 GMC Canyon, 2010 GMC Canyon, 2011 GMC Canyon.
