Fault Code 285 SAE J1939 Multiplexing PGN Timeout Error - Abnormal Update Rate
Fault Code 285 SAE J1939 Multiplexing PGN Timeout Error - Abnormal Update Rate
Circuit Description
Normally, switches, accelerators and other components are connected to the engine ECM
directly through individual wires. Multiplexing allows those same components to be hard
wired to an OEM Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU) or Transmission ECU in the cab.
Then component values and states from components such as sensors, accelerators and
switches can be transmitted from the OEM VECU to the Cummins engine ECM over the
SAE J1939 datalink.
Messages sent from OEM VECU's or Transmission ECU's are received by the Cummins
engine ECM and used for controlling the engine. The Cummins ECM and OEM VECU(s)
must be configured properly so that proper operation of the multiplexed components will
occur.
Component Location
The engine ECM is located on the intake side of the engine. The J1939 datalink wiring and
VECU location varies by OEM.

z When the ECM is set up properly (components enabled and OEM VECU source
addressed correctly) to receive information from an OEM VECU, but the OEM VECU
can possibly not actually be transmitting the message for that component. This can
be caused when a multiplexed component is enabled in the Cummins ECM, but the
OEM VECU source address of the VECU transmitting the component message is
incorrect in the Cummins ECM, or the OEM VECU is not set up to transmit the
multiplexed component message.
z This fault can also be caused by a bad J1939 datalink connection between the OEM
VECU and Cummins ECM, a bad connection between the component and the OEM
VECU, bad OEM VECU or bad Cummins ECM. It can possibly be necessary to
contact the OEM for proper multiplexing configuration.
Troubleshooting Steps
STEPS SPECIFICATIONS
STEP 1. Check for ECM communication
with INSITE™.
STEP 1A. Check for ECM Is communication between the
communication with INSITE™. INSITE™ and the ECM possible?
STEP 2. Check the fault codes.
STEP 2A. Check for an active Fault Code 285 is active?
fault code.
STEP 3. Check the OEM VECU and engine
ECM for proper multiplexing
configuration.
STEP 3A. Determine which VECU Does the ECM multiplexing
multiplexed components configuration match the OEM VECU
(switches, accelerators, or multiplexing configuration?
sensors) are enabled for
multiplexing over the J1939
datalink to the engine ECM and
compare to the engine ECM
configuration.
STEP 4. Check the service datalink
harness.
STEP 4A. Inspect the service Dirty or damaged pins?
datalink harness and connector
pins.
STEP 4B. Check for an open or 50 ohms to 70 ohms?
short circuit in the J1939 datalink
harness.
STEP 5. Check the OEM harness.
