Description

SAE J1708/ Information link, general troubleshooting

J1587
Function The information link is connected to all control units and the service/programming socket. Information and
diagnostic signals are sent on the link.
NOTE!
The voltage on the information link varies, depending on the intensity of signals on the link. The measured values
should therefore be regarded as guiding values only.
