General Information
The OEM J1939 datalink circuit is located in the OEM wiring harness. The purpose of this datalink is to allow communication with vehicle controloperated systems such as transmission controllers, traction control system, etc. The traditional OEM J1939 datalink circuit is described as a shielded twisted pair and includes the wires connected to the J1939 datalink positive (+) pin, the J1939 datalink negative (-) pin, and the J1939 (shield) pin in the OEM harness. On newer vehicles and equipment, OEM's can utilize an OEM J1939 datalink circuit that is described as an unshielded twisted pair (UTP). The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) J1939 datalink does not include the J1939 (shield) pin and only includes the J1939 datalink positive (+) pin and the J1939 datalink negative (-) pin in the OEM

harness. With the keyswitch in the ON position, public datalink messages will be broadcast on the OEM J1939 datalink. The broadcast will stop when the keyswitch is turned to the OFF position.

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1939 has strict guidelines that must be followed for successful communication. Understanding some fundamentals about SAE J1939 will help make sure these guidelines are followed. The main component of an SAE J1939 system is a backbone harness. The harness can be up to 40 meters [131 feet] in length. The backbone harness is terminated at each end with a 120 ohm resistor. A maximum of thirty different devices can be attached to the SAE J1939 backbone at once. Each device, such as the datalink adapter, is connected to the backbone through a stub, which can be up to 1 meter [3.3 ft] in length. The stub connector is a 3pin plug.

The terminating resistor caps (1) must be in place on the OEM backbone harness plugs (2) to maintain proper communication. Each resistor is 120 ohms and can be located in a removable cap.

Some OEMs will choose to provide a complete SAE J1939 backbone harness. If this is supplied, connection to the INSITE electronic service tool is accomplished by a 9-pin datalink connector (1), Part Number 3162848. NOTE: Some OEM's place a 9-pin connector in the cab, but do not connect all of the pins to support J1939 protocol. Para comprobar si la columna vertebral del OEM J1939, gire el interruptor de llave a la posicin OFF. Mida la resistencia del enlace de datos positivos (+) pin SAE J1939 a la negativa de enlace de datos SAE J1939 (-) pines del conector de 9 pines Deutsch . El multmetro debe leer entre 50 y 65 ohmios para la herramienta de servicio electrnico INSITE para poder establecer la comunicacin. Si el fabricante no suministra el arns troncal J1939 al conector de 9 pines, la nica forma de establecer la comunicacin J1939 es a travs de ya sea la configuracin de la comunicacin de banco o por el mdulo de control del motor a travs de la configuracin de las comunicaciones del motor. Consulte el Procedimiento 022-999. NOTE: The typical SAE J1939 connector will be a 9-pin connector.

Gire el interruptor de llave a la posicin OFF. Desconecte las bateras. Desconecte el conector de mazo del OEM de la ECU. Inserte un cable de prueba en el enchufe positivo de enlace de datos (+) pines del conector del arns del OEM SAE J1939, y conectarlo a la sonda multmetro. Inserte el otro cable de prueba en el enchufe positivo de enlace de datos (+) pines del conector de 9 pines Deutsch SAE J1939, y conctelo al multmetro. Mida la resistencia. El multmetro debe mostrar un circuito cerrado (10 ohmios o menos). Si el circuito no est cerrado, reparar o reemplazar el arns del OEM. Consulte la resolucin de problemas OEM y manual de reparaciones para los procedimientos.

Introduzca la punta de un multmetro en el SAE J1939 datalink negative (-) of the OEM harness connector. Touch the other lead to the SAE J1939 datalink negative (-) pin of the 9-pin Deutsch connector. Measure the resistance. The multimeter must show a closed circuit (10 ohms or less) Si el circuito no est cerrado, reparar o reemplazar el arns del OEM. Consulte la resolucin de problemas OEM y manual de reparaciones para los procedimientos. Si los valores son correctos, el circuito an debe ser revisado por un corto circuito a tierra y cortocircuitos de pin a pin.
