  How to Find and Use These Diagrams  
 

  
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:

  • Power Distribution Diagrams
  • System Diagrams
  • Grounds Diagrams

Diagram 13-7 (Sample Power Distribution Diagram Page)
  
Power Distribution Diagrams
Provide the circuit details of how the system diagrams are powered. The power distribution source is shown at the top of a diagram page. All wires, connectors, and splices are shown in the same manner that the current flows, ending at the component/system being powered near the bottom of a diagram page. Circuits that go from one diagram page to another will be marked with large arrow heads indicating which diagram page the circuit went to/came from.

The power distribution diagrams can be found at Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution, or by following the hyperlinks at the top of the diagram pages within the system diagrams.

Diagram 85-1 (Sample System Diagram Page)
  
System Diagrams
Components that work together are shown together in a system/subsystem diagram or set of diagrams. The system feed (circuit breaker, fuse, etc.) is shown at the top of a diagram page. All wires, connectors, components, and splices are shown in the same manner that the current flows, ending at the ground at the bottom of a diagram page. Circuits that go from one diagram page to another will be marked with large arrow heads indicating which diagram page the circuit went to/came from.

The system diagrams can be found at the specific Alldata System/SubSystem that they are most closely related to, such as Cruise Control, Powertrain Management, Radio/Stereo, etc.

Diagram 10-1 (Sample Grounds Diagram Page)
  
Grounds Diagrams
Provide the circuit details of how the system diagrams are grounded. This information is useful for checking interconnections of the grounding circuits of different systems. The components/systems being grounded are shown at the top of a diagram page. All wires, connectors, and splices are shown in the same manner that the current flows, ending at the ground at the bottom of a diagram page. Circuits that go from one diagram page to another will be marked with large arrow heads indicating which diagram page the circuit went to/came from.

The grounds diagrams can be found at Starting and Charging/Power and Ground Distribution, or by following the hyperlinks at the bottom of the diagram pages within the system diagrams.

Component Identification Information
Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List,
(2) Component Location Views, and
(3) Connector views (Faces).

The A-Z Component List helps the user find where the various items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of the location is given. See: Locations\Components\A-Z Components List

The Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found on the vehicle. See: Locations\Components\Location Views

The Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity sides are shown separately as if the connector were disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number. See: Diagrams\Connector Views
