Chapter 3 - Operating Instructions
All editions of Au SAE J1939 Simulator Gen II can be operated by just controlling 3 push buttons. It generates SAE J1939
signals for product developers, testers, operators and manufacturers.
3.1. Power On
Plug in a 4-wire cable (e.g. Au Part#: CBL-CAN-01) to Au SAE J1939 Simulator Gen II BUS side DB9 male connector (pin-
out of BUS side male connector is illustrated in Figure 1 - 2). When the CBL-CAN-01 cable is used, connect the Red wire to
+12V DC power supply, Black wire to ground, White wire to CAN-H, Green wire to CAN-L. The Power LED on simulator
will light up, and simulator will resume the last saved operating mode (static mode or dynamic mode).
3.2. Operating Mode (Static/Dynamic)
After power on, Au SAE J1939 Simulator will work on either static mode or dynamic mode.
•Static mode: Au SAE J1939 Simulator Gen II generates steady SAE J1939 signals. In this mode, two push buttons
(Up and Down) can be used to change the data outputs. When no button is pushed, all data will stay at the last value.
•Dynamic mode: The value of all data will change automatically in SAE J1939 defined range
•Switch between dynamic mode and static mode: Press and hold both Menu and Up buttons until a long beep is heard
if buzzer is enabled; or both the "▼0% LED" and "▲100% LED" flip their status (from on to off or vice versa)
Au SAE J1939 Simulator Gen II equipped with 3 push buttons (Menu, Down, Up) and 9 LEDs (Figure 3-1). Each LED is
named after its function.
Figure 3-1 Position of push buttons and LEDs
3.3. Push Button Function
•Press Menu button:
oMenu button is used to control Warning LED on/off. A single press on Menu button will turn on the Warning
LED if the Warning LED was off, and vice versa.
oThe Menu button function is available only on Engine Premium editions and Vehicle Platinum editions. In
Value Package editions and Engine Basic editions, Menu button is not used. Warning LED is constant off.
oIf buzzer is enabled, a short beep will be heard upon a press on the Menu button.
In dynamic mode, the simulator automatically adjusts the control step value by itself. This will generate dynamic J1939 signals.
In static mode, all* simulated SAE J1939 signal will be controlled by the control step value, which is still able to be manually
controlled by the Up and Down buttons.
Note: * The Engine Clock is not controlled by the control step value and push buttons; it runs all by itself just like a real clock.
•Press Down button:
oDown button is used to decrease the values of all J1939 signals. A single press will decrease all data one step
from previous values until they reach the minimum values. ▼0% LED will be triggered on/off.
oIf ▼0% LED is on, press Down button one time, ▼0% LED will be off.
oIf ▼0% LED is off, press Down button one time, ▼0% LED will be on.
o80% LED blinks when control step value equals to 80%,
o60% LED blinks when control step value equals to 60%,
o40% LED blinks when control step value equals to 40%,
o20% LED blinks when control step value equals to 20%,
o▼0% LED blinks when control step equals to 0%,
oIf buzzer is enabled, a short beep will be heard upon a press on Down button.

•Press Up button:
oUp button is used to increase the values of all J1939 signal. A single press will increase all simulated data one
step to next data level until they reach the maximum values, ▲100% LED will be triggered on or off.
oIf ▲100% LED is on, press Up button one time, ▲100% LED will be off.
oIf ▲100% LED is off, press Up button one time, ▲100% LED will be on.
o20% LED blinks when control step value equals to 20%,
o40% LED blinks when control step value equals to 40%,
o60% LED blinks when control step value equals to 60%,
o80% LED blinks when control step value equals to 80%,
o▲100% LED blinks when control step value equals to the highest value, 100%.
oIf buzzer enabled, a short beep will be heard upon a press on Up button.
•Press and hold both Down + Up button for more than 1 second:
oDown + Up buttons are used to turn buzzer on/off.
oIf buzzer is on, press and hold Down + Up for more than 1 second will silent buzzer thereafter.
oIf buzzer is mute, press and hold Down + Up for more than 1 second will enable the buzzer thereafter.
oBoth ▲100% and ▼0% LED will flip their on/off status as a visual indication of this dual-button input.
oIf buzzer is enabled, a long beep will be heard to reflect the input of Down + Up button.
•Press and hold both Menu + Down button for more than 1 second:
oMenu + Down buttons are used to turn Engine DM2 warning on/Reset.
oBoth ▲100% LED and ▼0% LED will flip their status as a visual indication of this dual-button input.
oIf buzzer is enabled, a long beep will be heard to reflect the input of Menu + Down button.
oThe Engine DM2 warning messages (on premium and platinum editions) are always on after power-on. It can be
reset when an Engine DM3 PGN is received.
oFor continuous test purpose, after an Engine DM3 PGN is received, either re-power-on the simulator or press and
hold both Menu + Down button for more than 1 second will turn on the Engine DM2 warning again.
•Press and hold both Menu + Up button:
oMenu + Up buttons are used to switch between static mode and dynamic mode.
oBoth ▲100% LED and ▼0% LED will flip their status as a visual indication of this dual-button input.
oIf buzzer enabled, a long beep will be heard to reflect the input of Menu + Up button.
The push button functions are summarized in Table 3-1.
