Common Diagnostic Steps
OBD2 Code: U1033
Description: SCP (J1850) Invalid or Missing Data for Primary ID
Common Diagnostic Steps:
- Check for any other stored trouble codes that might be related to communication issues.
- Inspect the vehicle’s wiring harness and connectors for signs of damage, corrosion, or disconnection.
- Verify the integrity of the SCP (J1850) communication bus using a multimeter or oscilloscope.
- Ensure all modules on the network are properly powered and grounded.
- Perform a continuity test on the SCP (J1850) circuit to check for open or short circuits.
- If equipped, use a scan tool to monitor live data and observe any anomalies in communication between modules.
- Update or reprogram any module firmware if updates are available from the manufacturer.
- If necessary, replace faulty modules that fail to communicate properly after verifying all connections and power supplies are intact.
