Message Identifiers (MIDs)
Brake-Link™ Meritor WABCO ABS Application 103
Message Identifiers (MIDs)
Messages are transmitted between various devices in the vehicle using a pathway
called the Serial Data Link (SDL). Because there are many devices in use in
various applications, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the
American Trucking Association (ATA) have assigned a code number to help
identify each device. These code numbers are called Message Identification
numbers, or MIDs. When a device is sending a message on the SDL, part of the
message is the device’s MID.
The following table lists all the MIDs for brake systems.
