What Does U1060 Mean?
Another occurrence of missing Primary ID data on the SCP network, similar to U1055 but typically from a different module or data parameter. Multiple modules may not be identifying themselves properly on the network.
Common Causes
35%
Instrument Cluster or another secondary module communication failure
30%
Widespread SCP network circuit fault affecting multiple module IDs
15%
Low system voltage affecting multiple module communication
12%
Module recently replaced and not properly programmed with ID
8%
Water damage or corrosion at central network junction connector
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
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
Another occurrence of missing Primary ID data on the SCP network, similar to U1055 but typically from a different module or data parameter. Multiple modules may not be identifying themselves properly on the network.
The most common cause of U1060 (SCP (J1850) Invalid or Missing Data for Primary Id) is: Instrument Cluster or another secondary module communication failure
Typical repair costs for U1060 range from $150 to $850, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Multiple vehicle systems may malfunction or provide incorrect information. Generally safe to drive but may have reduced functionality or erratic behavior.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to U1060 to identify the root cause.
