Wiring Diagram Information
Wire Color Codes
For Solid Color Wires: See Connector/Wiring Diagram Symbols (Typical) . The alpha code identifies wire color.
For Striped Wires: The code is written with a slash (/) between the solid color code and the stripe code. For example, a trace labeled GN/Y is a green wire with a yellow stripe.
Wiring Diagram Symbols
See Connector/Wiring Diagram Symbols (Typical) . Brackets [] indicate connector numbers. The letter inside the brackets identifies whether the housing is a socket or pin housing.
A=Pin: The letter A and the pin symbol after a connector number identifies the pin side of the terminal connectors.
B=Socket: The letter B and the socket symbol after a connector number identifies the socket side of the terminal connectors. Other symbols found on the wiring diagrams include the following:
Diode: The diode allows current flow in one direction only in a circuit.
Wire break: The wire breaks are used to show option variances or page breaks.
No Connection: Two wires crossing over each other in a wiring diagram that are shown with no splice indicating they are not connected together.
Circuit to/from: This symbol indicates a complete circuit diagram on another page. The symbol is also identifying the direction of current flow.
Splice: Splices are where two or more wires are connected together along a wiring diagram. The indication of a splice only indicates that wires are spliced to that circuit. It is not the true location of the splice in the wiring harness.
Ground: Grounds can be classified as either clean or dirty grounds. Clean grounds are identified by a (BK/GN) wire and are normally used for sensors or modules.
NOTE
Clean grounds usually do not have electric motors, coils or anything that may cause electrical interference on the ground circuit.
Dirty grounds are identified by a (BK) wire and are used for components that are not as sensitive to electrical interference.
Twisted pair: This symbol indicates that the two wires are twisted together in the harness. This minimizes the circuit's electromagnetic interference from external sources. If repairs are necessary to these wires, they should remain as twisted wires.
