Note E: The ECM Speedometer and Tachometer output s ignal line
voltages are zero-cros sing square waves, the speedometer signal at J1-
37 and J1-36 are complements of each other, for speedometers with a
single signal input terminal, either one of the two signal output lines
from the ECM may be used.

Note M: J1939 Link must be programmed for ECM to interact on data

link, J1939 must not be programmed unless used if programmed without
proper connection a diagnostic code will result.
