SAE J1708 is a standard used for serial communications between ECUs on a heavy-duty. The hardware utilized is RS-485 transceivers wired for open collector operation through the use of a pullup and pulldown of the separate data lines.
With {{{model|FMX640}}}, J1708 functionality is used to read vehicle's Fuel Level and Fuel consumption.
Because J1708 is not a CAN-BUS protocol, {{{model|FMX640}}} CAN1 and CAN2 lines cannot be used to read J1708 information. {{{model|FMX640}}} has a special J1708 Port, which utilizes an RJ9 4P4C connector.
