Hi all,

 

I had to break open my wiring loom in the engine bay to trace a short, and found that many of the wires were hardened and cracked. I was replacing a few broken connectors when I discovered that the Det sensor plug (Det sensor side) has only one wire and that the small black wire has snapped or been snipped???, leaving only a small amount of wire left on the plug.

Tracing the wire down as far as I could see, I couldn't find any trace of the remains of the wire that should connect to the plug .

 

Does this wire send a negative signal back to the ECU?

 

Is it essential (small black wire), could it of been left like that on purpose?

 

If it does need replacing, please please please tell me that it is'nt an engine out job.:crying:

 

Many thanks

 

Tony.

Its a shielding wire that is grounded at the ecu.its used to prevent interference in the signal from the det sensor.
