The SAE J1939 communications network is developed for use in heavy-duty environments and suitable for horizontally integrated vehicle industries. The SAE J1939 communications network is applicable for light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty vehicles used on-road or off-road, and for appropriate stationary applications which use vehicle derived components (e.g., generator sets). Vehicles of interest include, but are not limited to, on-highway and off-highway trucks and their trailers, construction equipment, and agricultural equipment and implements. SAE J1939-71 is the SAE J1939 reference document for the conventions and notations used to specify the parameter (SP) placement in PG data, the conventions for ASCII parameters, and conventions for PG transmission rates. This document previously contained the majority of the SAE J1939 OSI application layer data parameters and messages for information exchange between the ECU applications connected to the SAE J1939 communications network.

This top level document provides a general overview of the SAE J1939 network and describes the subordinate document structure. This document includes definitions of terms and abbreviations which are used among the various SAE J1939 subordinate documents.

This top level document provides a general overview of the SAE J1939 network and describes the subordinate document structure. This document includes definitions of terms and abbreviations which are used among the various SAE J1939 subordinate documents. The SAE J1939DA Digital Annex spreadsheet replaces the Appendices of this document for the publication of the list of all SPN assignments, PGN assignments, NAME Function assignments, Manufacturer Code assignments, and Preferred Address assignments. This document has been updated to reflect the change to discontinue publishing the content of Table A2, Tables B1 through B12, and Table C1 in Appendix A, Appendix B, and Appendix C; instead, this content is now published in the SAE J1939DA Digital Annex spreadsheet.

As described in the parent document, SAE J1939, there is a minimum of seven documents required to fully define a complete version of this network. This particular SAE Recommended Practice, SAE J1939-71, describes an Application Layer for vehicle use.
