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.
