The SAE J1939-73 standard defines the Application Layer for Diagnostics used in heavy-duty vehicle networks. It provides the message structures and behaviors—known as Diagnostic Messages (DMs)—needed for repair, operational reporting, and regulatory compliance.  Core Diagnostic Features 

Limitations and Evolution

While robust, J1939-73 has limitations: it does not define flashing or reprogramming of ECUs (covered in J1939-73’s companion, J1939-71 for parameter assignment). Also, the original CAN at 250 or 500 kbps is becoming bandwidth-constrained for advanced diagnostics with many ECUs. SAE has therefore extended the standard to J1939-73 (2023 revision) to support CAN FD (flexible data-rate) for larger payloads. Sae J1939-73 Pdf

DM24 – SPN Support

Allows a diagnostic tool to request which SPNs an ECU supports (handy for third-party testing). The SAE J1939-73 standard defines the Application Layer

2. Key Diagnostic Messages (PGNs)

The standard defines several Parameter Group Numbers (PGNs) for diagnostics. The most common include: Also, the original CAN at 250 or 500
