J1587/J1922 Data Link Circuit

Circuit Description

Devices such as automatic braking system controllers, autoshift transmissions, vehicle

electronic control module (ECM), automatic slip reduction systems, electronic displays,
electronic information systems, electronic service tools, and Vehicle Electronic Control
Units can communicate with the ECM over the J1587/J1922 data link. Messages sent from
the devices are received by the ECM and used for controlling the engine. The ECM also
transmits information to these devices over the J1587/J1922 data link on the 50-pin OEM
harness.

Component Location

The J1587/J1922 data link connector is located on the OEM harness. Refer to the OEM
manual for the specific location.

Shop Talk

This fault occurs whenever the ECM starts communicating with any other device with the
J1587/J1922 data link and then can no longer transmit on the data link. Possible causes
could be the following: Unplugthe electronic service tool before keying off the ECM, the
J1587/J1922 data link having an intermittent electrical problem, and the ECM (or another

J1587/J1922 device) tying up communications because of an electrical problem or by

sending too many messages without stopping.

Cautions and Warnings

CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of damaging a new ECM, all other active fault
codes must be investigated prior to replacing the ECM.

CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of pin and harness damage, use the following
test leads when taking a measurement:
Part Number 3163151 - ECM bench calibration harness
Part Number 3164185 - ECM bench calibration adapter cable.
