MID 144 SID 250 SAE J1587/1708 Information Link
The J1587/1708 Information Link is used to communicate gauge information and diag-
nostic messages.
High-speed digital communication between different electronic control units takes place
over the J1939 Control Link; this is used to control vehicle operation. If the J1939 Con-
trol Link fails, the J1587/1708 Information Link serves as a “back-up” control link.
