If you are a student at an ABET-accredited engineering school, check your university’s library portal. Many have institutional subscriptions to SAE standards, including the "hot" J1939-71 PDF.
SAE J1939-71 defines the Vehicle Application Layer, specifying the data definitions for heavy-duty vehicle ECUs, including PGNs for parameter groups and SPNs for individual signals. It functions at the OSI application layer to ensure interoperability, with modern definitions largely migrated to the J1939DA digital annex.

Historically, the J1939-71 PDF contained the bulk of all messages and parameters used in the industry. However, as vehicle complexity grew, SAE moved the actual data definitions (the list of SPNs and PGNs) to the , an Excel-based tool updated more frequently than the text-heavy standards.
