When troubleshooting this system it's important to know the difference between PRIVATE
and PUBLIC 1939 data link and how they are used with this system. The first thing to note is
the DEF sending unit, NH3, both NOx sensors, SCR Temp Sensor Module are on the PRIVATE
data link and NOT the PUBLIC 1939. Components that are on the private data link only will
not show as a detected module when using any diagnostic tool.
• The ACM communicates on both the Private and the Public data link with the ECM.
• If the ACM shows up on the Helios, Intune or ServiceMaxx J1939 sniffer, then the ACM
is communicating on the Public J1939.
• The ACM will show as Source Address 85
• The engine / aftertreatment private data link consists of engine and aftertreatment
modules communicating to each other.
◦ You cannot use a diagnostic tool to communicate with the private data link.
• Navistar engines have terminating resistors internal to the ECM and ACM
• Cummins engines have a terminating resistor internal to the VGT Actuator, and an
external terminating resistor
For troubleshooting the Public data link, refer to IK0800080 ‐ J1939 Data Link
Troubleshooting.

Service Procedure
Any Sensor or Module with 1939 faults, you must verify power/ground and ignition feeds to
that component. If each passes a load test, move forward with the below 1939 circuit test at
each suspect component with the complaint present.
Use the Navistar engine wiring schematic found in the Service Portal Master Service
Information page for the engine you are working on. For Cummins products, use the
electrical schematic book. The schematics below show the private data link only. They show

the various harnesses the data link is routed through and identifies the harnesses as
Navistar or Cummins harnesses.
• N13 Private Data Link Schematic
• N9 / N10 Private Data Link Schematic
• ISX Private Data Link Schematic
If the PDC cover behind the DEF Tank is removed, ensure the cover is reinstalled fully.
1. Check for datalink voltage + and ‐ at each sensor or module with the key on.
◦ You should have approximately 5v total when you add the voltages from each
wire together, i.e. 2.7v on one and 2.3v on the other.
◦ These 2 wires should not have exactly the same voltage on them. If they do, you
might have the 2 wires shorted together. Check the resistance between the 2
wires in Step 2 to be sure.
◦ If you get 0v or close to it on either wire, you probably have a short to ground on
that wire.
2. Check the resistance measuring across the + and ‐ terminals. (Batteries must be
disconnected)
◦ You should have approximately 60 ohms.
◦ If you get 0 ohms, then you have a short between the 2 wires.
◦ If you get 120 ohms, you have an open somewhere in the datalink or you're
missing one of the resistors.
◦ If you get 40 ohms, and extra terminating resistor has been added.
3. Check for short to ground. Check the resistance from + to ground and then – to
ground. (Batteries must be disconnected)
◦ Resistance should be greater than 1,000 ohms.
◦ If resistance is less than 1,000 ohms, then you have a short to ground.
Connector Composites
• The composites below were taken from an N13. Many of the connectors are used on
multiple chassis. The engine sensor harness is the main difference between the
different chassis types.
