The two letters to the left of the text can be found again
above each sub-diagram on the right-hand side. The letter
combination is used for referring between different sub-

In the wiring diagram there are also illustrations showing
how most of the cable harnesses are laid in the vehicle.

Wiring diagram structure
In order to minimise the number of sub-diagrams, draw-
ings of the maximum variants are found on each sub-dia-
gram. Therefore remember that all components and
cables are not always given for each respective chassis.

How to find the correct sub-diagram
The following example shows four different ways of find-
ing the correct sub-diagram. The first method is the com-
monest and is the one most frequently used. Methods
two, three and four are not used as often but it is good to
know what they are.
1 Sub-diagram
If you want to find the right place in the motor sub-diagram
you look in the sub-diagram list.
The list tells you where you can find the motor sub-dia-
gram in the wiring diagram.
                                                                              T3114945

2 Sub-diagram component number
If you know what the component number is of a compo-
nent included in the sub-diagram you can look in the com-
ponent list in the wiring diagram.
For example, you can look through the cable harness il-
lustrations and find the component number there.
                                                                                 T3016540

3 Sub-diagram connector
If you want to find out which component is connected to
connector MA, pin 7, you look in the list of connectors.
There you see which sub-diagram connector MA, pin 7,
appears in.

4 Sub-diagram fuse
If you want to look up fuse F42 you can do this by looking
through the list of fuses to see the sub-diagram in which
the fuse is included.
                                                                                  T3114947

Cable harnesses
At the end of the wiring diagram is a principle drawing
showing all the cable harnesses and how they are con-
nected to each other with different connectors.
Before the principle drawing is a list of all the wiring har-
nesses. The list gives the cable harness names and if
there are illustrations of the cable harnesses, the page
numbers of the illustrations are given.

How to find the correct cable harness
There are two ways of finding the correct wiring harness
for a component.
                                                                                                                   T3016542
