The J1939-84 Project on SourceForge

This project is an Open-Source (GPL) implementation of the SAE J1939-84 test specification. SAE J1939-84 is an SAE standard for testing heavy duty vehicles for compliance with CARB/EPA OBD mandates, built upon the J2534 Pass-Thru device API. If you don't know what any of that means, then it's a good bet that this software won't be useful to you.

The source code is in Subversion. Download Tortise SVN and check out https://j1939-84.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/j1939-84/trunk

If you just want the executable, go to the J1939-84 Project Page and click on the big green 'Download' button. We will periodically release compiled snapshots of the SVN repository. You will need a J2534 Pass-Thru device and a heavy duty OBD (J1939) vehicle. It does not work with J1708 trucks. After running, there will be a .log file that contains a log of everything that happened. The log file is extremely useful for troubleshooting purposes.
