Ground Distribution

Grounding Points - General:

General information about grounding points
There are two main types of grounding point in the car, those with a component number and those where a component is grounded directly to the chassis, such as temperature sensors and oil pressure sensors.

The car battery is grounded via two cables. One cable has a cross section area of 25 Sq. mm and goes directly to grounding point G25 (on the gearbox).

The other has a cross-section area of 16 Sq. mm and goes to grounding point G2, which is located behind the battery on the left-hand wheel housing.

From grounding point G2, a lead goes to distribution terminal 158 (negative), which is located in the main fuse box behind the glove box.

For radio interference suppression, a braided grounding strap is connected between the engine mounting and the car body.

Grounding points having a component number are covered.

Note
Due to different market specifications, some cars may not have all the grounding points listed.
