Grounding Points
When working on the vehicle electric system,
either during troubleshooting sessions or when
installing accessories, always be aware of the
importance of the grounding points.
An overview of the grounding points can be found
in the workshop manual of the Captiva. The exact
layout of all the grounding points depends on the
engine type.
In the Captiva, two types of grounding points are
used: 'normal' grounds and ground packs.
The 'normal' grounds are numbered G on the wir-
ing diagram and the ground packs are number Gx.
There is also a difference in there appearance. The
'normal' grounds are connected to ground via an
ordinary cable eye. The ground packs are con-
nected to ground via a splice pack which connects
several wires to ground.
