500 — Terms and Abbreviations

Cabin CAN—A proprietary datalink connecting certain ECUs on the vehicle, specifically the CGW, MSF, SAM
Cab, and SAM Chassis.
CAN—Controller Area Network
CAN ID—The identifier for a specific message, which also contains the source address of the sending ECU
communicating on the J1939 datalink.
CGW—Central Gateway
Datalink—A collection of wires, connecting system components, through which data is transmitted.
Datalink Topology—The arrangement in which the nodes (ECUs) of a datalink are connected to each other.
Diagnostic CAN—Datalink that runs from the diagnostic connector to the CGW.
ECU—Electronic Control Unit, typically connected to a datalink.
FMI—Failure Mode Indicator. The part of a J1587, J1939, and CAN fault code that identifies how part of a de-
vice, or item on a device, failed.
MSF—Modular Switch Field
Parameter—A parameter is a specific value that is assigned to a feature or function of the vehicle, and allows
the customer to choose how that particular feature or function will work on the vehicle.
SA—Source Address; indicates numeric assignment for a device that communicates on J1939 or CAN.
SAM—Signal Detect and Actuation Module
SAM Cab—Signal Detect and Actuation Module Cab ("SAM Cabin"); this ECU controls mainly cab-related func-
tionality. See G02.04 — SAM Cab for more information.
SAM Chassis—Signal Detect and Actuation Module Chassis; this ECU controls mainly chassis-related function-
ality. See G02.05 — SAM Chassis for more information.
SPN—Suspect Parameter Number. The part of a J1939 or CAN fault code that identifies how part of a device, or
item on a device, failed.

501 — Air Horn

The air horn is operated by an overhead lanyard. Pulling the lanyard opens a valve to feed air to the horn. The
air horn remains activated for the duration of the pull. The valve is spring-loaded and closes once the lanyard is
released. See Fig. 1.

502 — Electric Horn

The electric horn is operated by pressing the horn switch, located in the center of the steering wheel. The horn
switch is wired directly to the SAM Cab. Pressing the horn switch activates the horn for the duration that the
switch is pressed, however the horn will terminate after 60 seconds of continuous activation.
The electric horn is powered by a pin on the SAM Cab ECU. There is no change in functionality between single
and dual electric horn systems.
The electric horn operates regardless of the position of the ignition key. See Fig. 2.

700 — Troubleshooting Overview

The diagnostic communication protocol used for troubleshooting or configuring the SAM Cab is the CAN proto-
col, via the Diagnostic CAN datalink. For more information on the Diagnostic CAN datalink, see G03.04 —
Datalink, Diagnostic CAN.

702 — CAN Fault Codes

NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, all voltage measurements reference system ground.
IMPORTANT: The batteries must be disconnected prior to any resistance tests being performed. Fail-
ure to do so may result in inconclusive resistance measurements.
