Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Check for multiple U-codes and identify which modules are reporting communication faults

2

Step 2: Visually inspect SCP network wiring for chafing, pinching, or damage along the entire harness route

3

Step 3: Test continuity of both SCP+ and SCP- circuits between all modules on the network

4

Step 4: Measure voltage on SCP bus lines (should see approximately 2.5-3.5V with key on)

5

Step 5: Perform wiggle test on harness connectors while monitoring network communication with scan tool

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $1,400
