Fault Code 426 SAE J1939 Data Link - Cannot Transmit
Fault Code 426 SAE J1939 Data Link - Cannot Transmit
Fault Code 426 SAE J1939 Data Link - Cannot Transmit
Circuit Description
Component Location
The ECM is located on the intake side of the engine, near the front. The J1939 data link
wiring and the SAE J1939 devices vary by OEM options.
Shop Talk
This fault occurs whenever the ECM starts communicating with any other device using the
SAE J1939 data link and then can no longer transmit on the data link. Possible causes
could be the following: Unplugging an electronic service tool before keying off the ECM, the
SAE J1939 data link having an intermittent electrical problem, and the ECM (or another
SAE J1939 device) tying up communications because of an electrical problem or by

CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of pin and harness damage, use the following
service tools when taking a measurement:
Part Number 3163151 - ECM Bench Top Calibration Harness
Part Number 3164185 - ECM Bench Calibration Adapter Cable.
Troubleshooting Steps
