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.

Wiring diagram structure

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

The same junction point can be drawn on several dia-

grams. 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 find-
ing the correct sub-diagram. The first method is the com-
monest and is the one most frequently used. Methods
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 sub-diagram
you look in the sub-diagram list.
The list tells you where you can find the motor sub-dia-
gram in the wiring diagram.

2 Sub-diagram component number

If you know what the component number is of a compo-
nent included in the sub-diagram you can look in the com-
ponent list in the wiring diagram.
For example, you can look through the cable harness il-
lustrations 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.

4 Sub-diagram fuse
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 con-
nected to each other with different connectors.
Before the principle drawing is a list of all the wiring har-
nesses. 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 will come after the component. Remember that
number in the list of components. If the component is not all variants are always illustrated.

The second method is if you, for example, want to find out The name of the cable harness and the page number of
on which cable harness component Y25 (solenoid valve the illustrations of the cable harness is given in the list of
block, levelling control, air suspension) is, you can look it cable harnesses, see 3.
up on the sub-diagram containing the component. In the The component or the component connector with the
sub-diagram you look up the connector to which the com- component number is drawn on one of the illustrations.
ponent is connected, in this case connector “BN”, see 1.
Look up connector “BN” in the principle illustration of ca-
ble harnesses at the end of the wiring diagram. In the il-
lustration you see that the connector is connected to
cable harness 1072 “cable harness air suspension chas-
sis”, see 2.

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 sub-diagrams
and in the cable harness illustrations. The second list ex-
plains the different cable colours.
