General information on the wiring diagram

In the wiring diagram the entire diagram is divided into a
number of sub-diagrams. Each sub-diagram contains
one or more functions. Which functions are included and
on which page the sub-diagram can be found can be
seen in the sub-diagram list.
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-diagrams.

In the wiring diagram there are also illustrations showing

how most of the cable harnesses are laid in the vehicle.
What the cable harnesses are called and on which page
they can be found is given in the cable harness list.
At the end of wiring diagram are also lists of all the components, fuses, ground connections and connectors in
the vehicle.

T3016047

Wiring diagram structure

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

The same junction point can be drawn on several diagrams. The wire from the junction point to the earth point
is drawn but is only designated on one diagram. On the
other diagrams the earth point is written next to the junction point. Suffix (A) indicates which junction point it is in
the chain from the earth point.

How to find the correct sub-diagram

The following example shows four different ways of finding the correct sub-diagram. The first method is the
commonest and is the one most frequently used. Meth-

ods 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 subdiagram you look in the sub-diagram list.

The list tells you where you can find the motor subdiagram in the wiring diagram.

2 Sub-diagram component number

If you know what the component number is of a component included in the sub-diagram you can look in the
component list in the wiring diagram.

For example, you can look through the cable harness illustrations and find the component number there.

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.

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.

Cable harnesses
At the end of the wiring diagram is a principle drawing
showing all the cable harnesses and how they are connected to each other with different connectors.

Before the principle drawing is a list of all the wiring harnesses. 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

The wiring harness number is written by the component

The simplest way is to look up the correct component

number in the list of components. If the component is

drawn on any of the illustrations, the cable harness number will come after the component. Remember that not
all variants are always illustrated.

Page 16
The second method is if you, for example, want to find
out on which cable harness component Y25 (solenoid
valve block, levelling control, air suspension) is, you can
look it up on the sub-diagram containing the component.
In the sub-diagram you look up the connector to which
the component is connected, in this case connector
BN, see 1.
Look up connector BN in the principle illustration of cable harnesses at the end of the wiring diagram. In the

illustration you see that the connector is connected to

cable harness 1072 cable harness air suspension chassis, see 2.
The name of the cable harness and the page number of
the illustrations of the cable harness is given in the list of
cable harnesses, see 3.
The component or the component connector with the
component number is drawn on one of the illustrations.

Abbreviations
At the end of the wiring diagram are two lists explaining
the meanings of the different abbreviations that appear
in the wiring diagram.

The first list explains the abbreviations in all subdiagrams and in the cable harness illustrations. The
second list explains the different cable colours.
