The negative leads connected to a ground point in the system must be as short as possible and must be connected to each other in
a "star" formation, while tightening must be done in an orderly and adequate manner.
As far as electronic components are concerned, the following instructions should be followed:
● electronic control units must be connected to the system ground when equipped with metal housings
● the negative cables of the electronic control units are to be connected to a system ground point, connected to the negative
terminal of the battery;
● the analogue grounds (sensors), while not being connected to the system ground/negative terminal of the battery, are to have
good conductivity. Consequently, particular care should be given to terminal parasitic resistances: oxidation, scratches, etc.;
● the metal braid of the shielded circuits must be in electrical contact only at the control unit side to which the signal is to be
sent
● In the presence of junction connectors the unshielded section d, near them, should be as short as possible;
● The cables must be routed in such a way as to be parallel to the reference plane, as close as possible to the chassis/body.
