• This article is for general J1939 troubleshooting on 250k baud data link vehicles. They will have a black 9‐pin diagnostic connector. The
information provided applies to all models. Check the Fault Code Action Plan for the faults you are diagnosing, there may be model
specific FCAP diagnostic information available.
• You MUST review the "Service Information (Known Issues)" section of this iKNow article PRIOR to troubleshooting anything on the truck.

Description
There are a few things that you need to understand before troubleshooting the 1939 data link.
1. First, the drivetrain J1939 data link, J1939 body builder data link, and J1939 engine data link are three completely separate data links.
◦ For specific examples of modules on each different data link Click Here
2. The different J1939 data links work the same way, but the wiring for them is not connected.

3. The troubleshooting below is geared towards the drive train J1939 data link, but the same principles apply to the body builder and engine
data link.
4. The J1939 data link consists of a twisted pair of yellow and green wires that all the modules on the truck use to communicate with each
other.
5. Two 120 ohm terminating resistors are wired in parallel on the data link. Total resistance on a properly working data link is 60 ohms.
6. When you are checking the data link, if the problem is not present, the data link will show good.
7. The J1939 data link may be referred to as data bus, or CAN as well.
8. A module is capable of being connected to the public and private data link, but the information remains separate.
◦ Example: The Body Controller communicates on the public drivetrain data link, but also has the private body builder data link wired
to it.
◦ Example: The EIM communicates on the drivetrain data link, but also communicates with the ECM and ACM on the engine private
data link.
The MaxxForce 7 TMV (Thermal Management Valve) is on the Public data link. This module will not show up on the sniffer.
The ECM Engine and Chassis connector's data link terminals are connected internally to the module.
E13 and C53 are internally connected. E14 and C54 are internally connected.
For Post‐2007 vehicle 1939 troubleshooting, click on the appropriate link below:
• The troubleshooting cards give a good overview of the data link. This will help show you the backbone of the data link (main data link
wiring between 1st terminating resistor to 2nd terminating resistor) and the stubs of the data link (wiring from the backbone to each
possible module)
• The J1939 Splice Adapters (1024, 1025, 1026) are part of the backbone of the data link (The backbone will come in on 2 terminals and
leave on 2 different terminals). The wiring from the connector to each module is a stub.
These cards are 11" x 17" so they may not print well on regular size paper.
There are the most current troubleshooting cards that are available for printing. For more information specific to ProStar and LoneStar refer to
the Data Link Service Procedure found in the 2010–2016 ProStar® Technician Manual 0000863170. If you wish to order the above cards, you
can order them through the Navistar Print Portal from the Service Portal ‐ Dealer Menu. The part numbers are:

Diagnostic Steps
The diagnostic checks listed below can be performed at any module connector
• Making checks at each module connector can help isolate a voltage drop / increase in resistance / short to power or gound
• Use the worksheet below to identify which modules, connectors and terminals you have checked
• This can also help identify if the J1939_High and J1939_Low wires are pinned incorrectly at a connector
• Due to the many configurations and options available, the terminating resistor can be found in multiple locations (250k only vehicles)
◦ Near the top of the transmission in the Powertrain Harness
◦ Left frame rail (could be as far forward as the steer tire in some applications) in the Center Chassis Harness
◦ Left frame rail (near the radiator bracket) in the Forward Chassis Harness (*if equipped with Forward Radar)
◦ Under the bunk in the sleeper (when factory pre‐wired for telematics)
◦ Near the ACM
• Be aware there are multiple data links on the truck. You must ensure the terminating resistor is part of the public drivetrain data link, and
not one of the private data links (body builder or engine/aftertreatment)

• 6/9/2014 ‐ Recent information from the field has shown a potential failure location
• A poor connection on the splice the ties the ABS module into the Back‐bone of the data link was found on multiple units
◦ This splice is in the cab, and the harness is common between multiple chassis and engine platforms
◦ At this time (6/9/2014) the earliest build date affected is 09/23/2013
◦ Anything built after this date is suspect for splice issues
◦ Possible DTCs

• If you have these faults and the vehicle build date is near August 2013 or Newer you will need to troubleshoot this splice in the data link if no obvious
failures are found
• Follow the harness from the ABS module to the Data Link Backbone. Once you locate the splice, wiggle test that connection (also twist the spice in your
fingers) while monitoring the data link resistance. (If a resistance check does not show any fault, repeat this test monitoring data link voltage as well)
• Cab temperature was effecting the data link behavior in one of the vehicles found to have this issue
• Inspecting the splice is destructive, you will need to remove the splice section use a closed barrel butt connector to crimp, solder and heat shrink the
splice location. Use proper wire repair techniques as outlined in IK0800269 ‐ Proper Wire Repair
Crimp location: Right side of cab above the ABS module, next to the HVAC box. The condensation module (if installed) will be zip tied to or near the splice.

The MaxxForce 7 TMV (Thermal Management Valve) is on the Public data link. This module will not show up on the sniffer.
The ECM Engine and Chassis connector's data link terminals are connected internally to the module.
E13 and C53 are internally connected. E14 and C54 are internally connected.
• The Body Builder data link is a Private data link which consists of modules communicating to each other. You cannot use a diagnostic
tool to communicate with this private data link.
• Examples:
Body Controller (This module is on the public and private data link
independently)
Sleeper HVAC (Standard and No‐Idle systems)
RPM (Remote Power Module)
• The Engine data link is a Private data link which consists of engine related modules communicating to each other. You cannot use a
diagnostic tool to communicate with this private data link.
