J1939 is a CAN bus communication protocol used in heavy equipment. It allows the ECM, display, transmission, and other modules to share data over a two-wire network.
Measure resistance across CAN-H and CAN-L with all modules connected. Should read approximately 60 ohms (two 120 ohm resistors in parallel). 120 ohms indicates one missing terminator.
