Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Document all U-codes present to identify pattern of which modules are affected

2

Step 2: Test SCP network voltage and resistance at multiple points to find circuit fault

3

Step 3: Inspect central junction boxes and main harness connectors for corrosion or damage

4

Step 4: Use scan tool network testing function to poll all modules and identify non-responsive units

5

Step 5: Check for aftermarket accessories or modifications that may have damaged network wiring

6

Step 6: Isolate network segments by disconnecting modules one at a time to find short circuit

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $850
