U1260

What does U1260 mean?

U-code U1260 means "SCP (J1850) Single Ended (+) Circuit Failure". It is a manufacturer-specific diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the vehicle network (CAN/LIN bus). A fault has been detected in the scp (j1850) single ended (+) circuit failure — the control module has logged this condition during self-diagnostics. This warning should be addressed within the next few days to avoid further damage. This code applies to OBD-II compliant electric and hybrid vehicles.

Possible Causes

• Damaged CAN or LIN bus wiring
• Faulty or non-responsive control module
• Software or firmware corruption in the module
• Power supply or ground issue at the module

Recommended Actions

1. 1 Avoid aggressive driving and schedule a diagnostic appointment within the next 1–3 days
2. 2 Scan for all DTCs with an OBD-II scanner — note any related codes stored alongside U1260
3. 3 Inspect the vehicle network (CAN/LIN bus) component and its wiring for visible damage
4. 4 Check for water intrusion in connector areas and clean contacts if corroded
5. 5 Clear the DTC, road-test the vehicle, and re-scan to confirm whether the fault returns
6. 6 If the fault persists after inspection and clearing, consult an EV-certified technician for component replacement
