SAE J1850<\/h2>\n\n

The SAE J1850<\/strong> interface was intended for both diagnostic applications<\/strong> and on-board communication<\/strong>. Access was standardized earlier in the USA than in Europe, leading to an earlier introduction of OBD. The bus standardized by SAE J1850 was used for this purpose. <\/p>\n\n

Strictly speaking, the J1850 standard comprises two standards. These differ at the physical layer and are incompatible. There is the so-called Ford variant<\/strong> and the variant <\/strong>used by General Motors, Chrysler, and other companies.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

A distinctive feature of this standard is the use of pulse-width modulated signals<\/strong> instead of the conventional NRZ (Non-Return-to-Zero) method. Regarding the message format, a header <\/strong>is transmitted first, followed by a payload section ranging from 0 to 8 bytes<\/strong>. Finally, a trailer containing a checksum <\/strong>and several control bits<\/strong> is appended. The standard defines an “in-frame response<\/strong>,” allowing the control unit to respond directly within the frame in the case of short responses to a request. <\/p>\n\n

Due to the characteristics of J1850, the system is quite complex to implement and typically requires a dedicated communication controller. The bus has since been superseded by the CAN bus. <\/p>\n\n
