Description

The following diagram shows the various earths on the vehicle, and the circuits connected to each are indicated.

It is thus easy to identify the circuits which are connected to earth from the same line; this facilitates fault finding if a problem involves more than one function: for example, the corrosion of one earth could put different circuits and several functions out of action at the same time.
