SAE J1708 is a standard used for serial communications between ECUs on a heavy duty. The hardware utilized are RS-485 transceivers wired for open collector operation through the use of a pullup and pulldown of the separate data lines.

With FMB640, J1708 functionality is used to read vehicle's Fuel Level and Fuel consumption.

Because J1708 is not a CAN BUS protocol, FMB640 CAN1 and CAN2 lines cannot be used to read J1708 information. FMB640 has a special J1708 Port, which utilizes RJ9 4P4C connector.
