Ground Distribution

Grounding Points:

GENERAL
Grounding points on the car are of two main types: those with a component number and those where a component is grounded directly to the chassis, such as temperature sensors and oil pressure sensors, etc.

The car battery is grounded by means of two cables. One has a cross-section area of 25 mm and goes straight to grounding point G25 (on the gearbox).

The other has a cross-section area of 16 mm and goes to grounding point G2 adjacent to the battery on the LH wheel housing.

A lead runs from grounding point G2 to distribution terminal 158 (negative) in the fuse box behind the glove box.

For radio interference suppression a ground connection (braided strap) is provided between the engine mounting and the body.

This part deals with the grounding points that have a component number.

NOTE: Since different market versions are produced, some of the grounding points described here may not be present on all cars.
