SCP (J1850) Invalid or Missing Data for Primary Id

What Does U1093 Mean?

Similar to U1092, this represents missing or invalid primary identification data from a different module or for a different parameter on the SCP network. Multiple U109X codes suggest widespread communication issues or multiple module failures.

Common Causes

40%

Multiple module communication failure due to bus wiring fault

SCP bus wiring
Main harness
Splice connections

30%

Failed control module not transmitting primary ID data

PCM
ABS module
Airbag module
BCM

15%

Widespread connector corrosion affecting multiple modules

Module connectors
Harness connectors

10%

Power distribution problem affecting multiple modules

Battery
Alternator
Main fuses
Power distribution box

5%

Bus termination failure causing widespread communication errors

Termination resistors
End-of-line module

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Document all communication codes present and identify all affected modules and their physical locations

2

Step 2: Measure SCP bus resistance with all modules connected (should be 100-120 ohms) and compare to specification

3

Step 3: Check battery voltage and charging system operation as low voltage can cause multiple communication faults

4

Step 4: Inspect common ground points and SCP bus splice locations for damage or corrosion

5

Step 5: Systematically disconnect modules to isolate any module that may be shorting or loading down the bus

Estimated Repair Cost

$200 - $1,500
