2

Step 2: Check for blown fuses or poor connections in body control power distribution

3

Step 3: Use oscilloscope to examine SCP bus signal quality for distortion or interference

4

Step 4: Test termination resistor value on SCP bus (typically 100-120 ohms)

5

Step 5: Isolate modules systematically by disconnecting to identify source of corruption
