Introduction
SAE-J1939 is a communication protocol developed by SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers). The communication protocol is based on the CAN
specification developed by Bosch 2.0 part B (September, 1991).
Before using the Model 1939STB the user should be familiar with the
SAE publications listed below, and follow all the guidelines before
attempting to connect to an active J1939 network.
The SAE-J1939 specifications are guidelines. Many manufacturers have
proprietary data codes developed for their own use. The user must obtain
these codes from the manufacturer of the vehicle. B&B Electronics does not
have access to the SAE-J1939 codes, and cannot provide any assistance in
obtaining these codes. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain and
implement the specific J1939 codes for the vehicle(s) that the 1939STB is
interfaced to.
