 Grounding
|
What is Grounding? Modern cars use computers and electrical systems that control virtually every aspect of the engine and driveline performance through various electronic engine components, all to keep the car running at its optimum performance. These components commonly use a variable ground ( negative ) signal connected to the computer.
|
Engines and transmissions are typically grounded to the alternator and battery in one location, mainly the motor block. There is usually a great distance between this grounding point and the various electrical components, not to mention that these components are seldom mounted to the block itself.
|
The result is variations in the voltage at these multiple mechanisms. As sensors send information to the computer, the computer in return sends out a signal to make the necessary adjustment(s) to other components.
However, if there is a slight variation in the voltage, the computer will not compensate correctly, causing a loss in horsepower.

| Why Grounding ?
|
|
The grounding system provides a direct ground path from battery negative to body, chassis and engine components, making for a significant improvement in the electrical system.
