SUBJECT: ENGINE GROUND CONNECTION


The importance of good ground connections cannot be overemphasized in today's electronically sophisticated automobile. Clean, tight connections at all locations are essential for trouble-free performance.

Figure 1:




When diagnosing complaints of "CHECK ENGINE" light illumination or, if equipped, erratic shifting of the 4EAT transmission, don't overlook checking the engine ground mounting bolt for being tight with a good, clean connection. See figure 1. Refer to the 1990 Legacy Service Manual 6-3, page 121, for additional ground location details.
