SCP (J1850) Invalid or Missing Data for Primary Id

What Does U1064 Mean?

Another Primary ID on the SCP network is not providing valid data to requesting modules. The presence of multiple sequential U-codes strongly suggests a bus-level fault rather than isolated module issues.

Common Causes

40%

SCP bus open circuit or high resistance in main trunk line affecting multiple modules

SCP Bus Wiring
Splice Connections
Main Harness

25%

Specific control module failure for this Primary ID address

Body Control Module
Generic Electronic Module
Lighting Control Module

20%

Power supply issue to module preventing proper operation and communication

Fuse
Power Distribution Center
Relay
Module Power Supply

10%

Broken or corroded solder joints inside module causing intermittent communication

Control Module Circuit Board
Module Internal Components

5%

Bus termination problem causing signal reflections and data corruption

Bus Termination Resistor
End-of-Line Modules

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Verify power and ground to the module associated with this Primary ID

2

Step 2: Check continuity of SCP bus wiring from data link connector through the network

3

Step 3: Measure bus resistance (should be approximately 100-120 ohms with all modules connected)

4

Step 4: Perform voltage drop test on SCP bus circuit looking for high resistance connections

5

Step 5: Swap suspected module with known good unit if available to confirm module failure

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $1,400
