Engine Ground Terminals

[anspaugh777]

Does anyone know where the engine ground terminals are located?

 

I need to check if those are tightened. Thanks!

Why not just run a new one?

You need to tell us what you're working on. But generally speaking most newer subies have 1 or 2 on top of the intake and the ground cable for the battery goes to by the starter.

Well, I found a TCU code on my car using the "unique" method. The code was 45. So I looked up in my subscription to AllDATA and it says to check the engine ground terminals to see if they are tight. If not, then it says to tighten them.

 

I just don't know what they mean by engine ground terminals and can't find a diagram as to where they would be.

There may also be a tranny ground strap.

 

When in doubt add a ground.

Yes, some of them have a ground wire for the trans in the area of the pitch stopper.

Right behind the throttle body.

It is very important to insure that the connections are clean and free of corrosion, otherwise it won't matter how tight they are.

 

Here is a link to info on anti corrosion pastes that work very well. (probably more info that you need, but good reading).

 

I have purchased Noalox at home depot, it is readily available.
