INSTALLATION WARNINGS

!
!
!

WARNING: Installation of radio equipment has to be in accordance with the installation
requirements of the vehicle manufacturer.

WARNING: For fixed station configurations, ensure earthing arrangements are in
accordance with the installation instructions in Chapter 1 paragraph 5.2.

WARNING: Disruption of the anti-skid/anti-lock braking system by the radio transmitter may
result in unexpected vehicle motion.
For vehicles with electronic anti-lock/anti-skid brakes, Motorola recommends the following radio
installation precautions and vehicle braking system test procedures to ensure that the radio, when
transmitting, does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle braking system. Refer to your vehicle
service manual for details of your vehicle’s braking system, or contact your dealer directly.

Installation Precautions:
1. Always provide as much distance as possible between the braking modulator unit and the radio,
the radio antenna, and associated transmission line. Before installing the radio, determine the
location of the braking modulator unit in the vehicle. Depending on the make and model of the
vehicle, the braking modulator unit may be located in the trunk, under the dashboard, in the
engine compartment, or in some other cargo area. If you cannot determine the location of the
braking modulator unit, refer to the vehicle service manual or contact a dealer for the particular
make of the vehicle.
2. If the braking modular unit is located on the left side of the vehicle, install the radio on the right
side of the vehicle, and conversely.
3. Route all radio wiring, including the antenna transmission line, as far away as possible from the
braking modular unit and associated braking system wiring.
4. Never activate the radio transmitter while the vehicle is in motion and the vehicle trunk lid is open.

Braking System Tests:
Be sure the following vehicle testing is done in an isolated area. The following procedure checks for
the most common types of interference that may be caused by a radio transmitter to vehicle braking
system:
1. Run the vehicle engine at idle speed and set the vehicle transmission selector to PARK. Release
the brake pedal completely and key the radio transmitter. While NOT speaking into the
microphone, verify that there are no unusual effects (visual or audible) to the vehicle lights, or
other electrical equipment and accessories.
2. Repeat Step 1, except do so while speaking into the microphone.

v

3. Press the vehicle brake pedal slightly; just enough to illuminate the vehicle brake light(s). Then
repeat Steps 1 and 2.
4. Press the vehicle brake pedal firmly and repeat Steps 1 and 2.
5. Ensure that there is a minimum of two vehicle lengths between the front of the vehicle and any
object in the vehicle’s forward path. Then, set the vehicle transmission selector to DRIVE. Press
the brake pedal just far enough to stop the vehicle motion completely. Key the radio transmitter.
Verify that the vehicle does not start to move while NOT speaking into the microphone.
6. Repeat Step 5, except do so while speaking into the microphone.
7. Release the brake pedal completely and accelerate the vehicle to a speed between 25 and 40
kilometres (15 and 25 miles) per hour. Ensure that a minimum of two vehicle lengths is
maintained between the front of the vehicle and any object in the vehicle’s forward path. Have
another person key the radio transmitter, and verify that the vehicle can be braked normally to a
moderate stop while NOT speaking into the microphone.
8. Repeat Step 7, except do so while speaking into the microphone.
9. Release the brake pedal completely and accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 30 kilometres
(20 miles) per hour. Ensure that a minimum of two vehicle lengths is maintained between the front
of the vehicle and any object in the vehicle’s forward path. Have another person key the radio
transmitter, and verify that the vehicle can be braked properly to a sudden (panic) stop while NOT
speaking into the microphone.
10. Repeat Step 9, except do so while speaking into the microphone.
11. Repeat Steps 9 and 10, except use a vehicle speed of 50 kilometres (30 miles) per hour.

Introduction

1.1

General Information
There are two methods of installing your mobile radio:
1.

Using the direct mounting trunnion and power cables supplied with a standard radio package.

2.

CM Series mobile radios may be mounted in the dashboard of a car radio using the required
DIN Kit FTN6083.

An accessory connector on the rear of the radio (see Figure 1-6 Connections to the Back of Radio)
enables you to attach different accessories required for the installation.
An eight-pin telephone type connector on the front control head panel provides for the connection of
various types of microphones.

1.2

Plan the Installation
1.

Mount the radio horizontally near the driver, so the driver can easily view, access and operate
the controls and accessories.

2.

Ensure that the location is not exposed to dirt and moisture.

3.

Verify that there will be sufficient space around the mobile unit for air flow and installation.

4.

Check that there is enough routing space for the power cable connector and the antenna
coaxial cable.

5.

Plan the best place to run connections to minimize pinching, crushing, and overheating of
wires and cables.

!

CAUTION: In a vehicle with an airbag, make sure that the mounting location of the mobile
radio, or of any radio accessory, is not in the deployment path of the air bag.

!

CAUTION: The mobile radio should always be mounted horizontally and be aware that the
heat sink on the base of the radio gets hot during normal operation.

2.0

DC Power Cable Installation

2.1

Planning the Power Cable Installation

!

CAUTION: This radio must be operated only in negative ground electrical systems.
Operating the radio on a positive ground system will cause the cable fuse to short-circuit.
Check the vehicle ground polarity before you begin the installation.
The 3 metres (10 feet) DC power cable shipped with the radio should be long enough to be installed
in most vehicles. Take the following precautions before you begin:


Whenever possible, avoid routing the cable above the catalytic converter.



Use grommets whenever a cable has to pass through a hole in a metal panel.

Power Cable Installation Procedure
Begin the power cable installation as follows:
1.

!

CAUTION: Improper handling with the power cable may cause shorting to ground. Ensure
that during radio installation the power cable fuse is removed.
2.

!

Determine a routing plan, keeping in mind where the radio is to be mounted.

Locate an existing hole with grommet in the vehicle fire wall, or use a 9.5 mm (3/8-inch) bit to
drill an access hole in the fire wall. Install a grommet with a 5 mm (3/16-inch) inside diameter
into the hole to protect the power cable.

CAUTION: Be very careful not to damage existing wires.

Trunnion Installation

3.1

Planning the Mounting Trunnion Installation
Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation. Before a hole is drilled or a wire run, inspect the
vehicle and determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, radio and accessories. If
you are using any of the optional accessories, obtain them and plan for their installation using the
detailed instructions including with each accessory. Plan wire and cable runs to provide maximum
protection from pinching, crushing and overheating.
The mounting trunnion allows the radio to be mounted to a variety of surfaces.
1.
2.

!
3.2

Ensure the surface can support the weight of the radio.
Although the trunnion can be mounted to a plastic dashboard, it is recommended that the
mounting screws be located so they penetrate the supporting metal frame of the dashboard.

CAUTION: The locking bracket (RLN4779) is NOT recommended for overhead mounting
applications.

Trunnion (GLN7324) Installation Procedure
1.

2.

Use the trunnion mounting bracket as a template to mark the hole positions on the mounting
surface. Use the innermost three holes for a curved mounting surface, such as the
transmission hump, and three or four outermost holes for a flat surface such as under the
dash.

3.

Center-punch the spots you marked and use a 4 mm (5/32-inch) bit to drill a hole at each
location.

4.

Secure the trunnion mounting bracket to the mounting surface with the self-tapping screws
provided. (See Figure 1-3).

5.

3.3

Select either the transmission hump or an open underneath portion of the dash to mount your
radio. (See Figure 1-3). When mounting the trunnion on the transmission hump, be careful
that the transmission housing is not affected.

Slide the radio into the trunnion. Secure the radio with the two thumb screws provided.
(See Figure 1-4.)

Locking Mounting Bracket (RLN4779) Installation Procedure
1.

Follow steps 1 to 4 of the Trunnion Installation procedure.

Antenna Installation

4.1

Mobile Radio Operation and EME Exposure
Observe the following caution and electromagnetic energy exposure (EME) statements when
installing antennas:

!

CAUTION: Use caution when installing antennas with mobile radio equipment using
transmitter power in excess of 7 Watts.

NOTE For low-power mobile radios (7 Watts, or less), there are no antenna type or
installation restrictions.

4.2

Selecting an Antenna Site
1.

Install the vehicle antenna external to the vehicle and in accordance with:
a.

The requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier

b.

Instructions in the radio installation manual.

2.

The best mounting location for the antenna is in the center of a large, flat conductive surface.
In almost all vehicles, mounting the antenna in the center of the roof will satisfy these
requirements. For VHF models, or UHF 25 Watt models, a good alternate location is in the
center of the trunk lid (check the requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier before
mounting the antenna to the trunk lid). If you use the trunk lid, ensure that the trunk lid is
grounded by connecting grounding straps between the trunk lid and the vehicle chassis.
For UHF 40 Watt models only, the 1/4 wave antenna should be mounted in the centre of the
roof only, to assure compliance with FCC standards; it should not be mounted on the trunk lid.

3.

Ensure the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio. Ensure that the antenna cable is
routed separately and not in parallel to any other vehicle wiring or mobile radio cable wiring.

4.

Check the antenna location for any electrical interference.

NOTE Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers,
trunk and hood lids, exhaust pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause
severe receiver interference.
5.

6.

4.3

If the vehicle is equipped with an electronic anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the antenna
will be trunk mounted, then install the antenna on the side opposite to the braking modulator
box. This minimizes radio interference to the modulator box from the radio.
Make sure the mobile radio antenna is installed at least 30.48 cm (1 foot) away from any other
antenna on the vehicle.

Antenna Installation Procedure
1.

Mount the antenna according to the instructions provided with the antenna kit. Run the
coaxial cable to the radio mounting location. If necessary, cut off the excess cable and install
the cable connector.

2.

Connect the antenna cable connector to the radio antenna connector on the rear of the radio.

5.2

Radio in Desktop Configuration
In a desktop configuration, utilising Desktop Trays RLN5390/RLN5391 and an applicable desktop
power supply, install the radio as follows:
1.

Connect the earth strap (part of kit GMLN1095A) to the base of the radio using the selftapping screw supplied. The connection can be made to any one of the four holes in the base
of the radio.

2.

Slide the radio into the top of the desktop tray by aligning the radio side mount sockets with
the recesses in the desktop tray. Ensure that the earthing strap is routed out of the rear of the
desktop tray.

3.

Secure the radio in the desktop tray by pressing the radio firmly into the tray until the radio
rests on the tray backstop.

4.

Connect the free-end of the earth strap to a suitable earthing point.

5.

For lightning protection, connect the free end of the earth strap and the earthing connector of
the power supply with the PE installation of the building. Use a suitable strain relief to protect
the earth strap against strain.

6.

Base Station antenna circuits need proper grounding and lightning protection in accordance
with national requirements.

NOTE When using Power Supply GPN6145 and the radio is transmitting with transmitter
power at 25W, care should be taken not to exceed the power supply specification
of 1 minute maximum continuous transmit time.
5.2.1

CPS Programming
For desktop (base station) configurations, when progamming the radio with the Customer
Programming Software (CPS), ensure that ‘Base Station/Local’ operation is selected. This reduces
overall receiver sensitivity and provides correct receiver inter-modulation (Rx-IM) performance. This
feature is accessed via ‘Per Channel’ / ‘Miscellaneous’ windows in the CPS.

REDUCING NOISE INTERFERENCE
1.0

Introduction
Electrical noise generated by the electrical system of a vehicle, as well as local ambient noise, can
interfere with normal operation of mobile radios. Satisfactory operation of a mobile radio may require
slight or heavy noise reduction, depending upon the relative strength of the radio signal, and upon
the ability of the radio to reject undesired noise. These requirements vary from one vehicle to
another, depending upon the vehicle type and required coverage area. When operating in a strong
signal area, a certain amount of noise interference can be tolerated. In weak signal areas, however,
noise reduction becomes very important. As a rule of thumb, noise levels create greatest
interference in the 25-50MHz band and reduce with increasing frequency.
Before attempting any noise reduction procedures, determine the noise source(s). Then, follow a
logical, systematic method of elimination until the interference is eliminated or reduced to an
acceptable level.

!

CAUTION: Do not add interference elimination equipment to vehicles equipped with
electronic ignition systems before obtaining advice from the vehicle manufacturer. Addition
of some noise suppression components may interfere with proper operation of electronic
ignition systems and could seriously damage them.
Care and patience must be exercised in locating and eliminating noise sources. There may be
several sources of noise, each slightly stronger or weaker than the other. Elimination of one source
may seem ineffective because another noise source remains active at a barely discernible
difference in level. Consult a service manual for the vehicle to determine what noise reduction
provisions the manufacturer applies when AM, AM/FM, or CB radios are installed as original
equipment. These radios are also subject to electrical noise interference, and the manufacturer may
install noise suppression components only upon those vehicles which require radio equipment at the
time of manufacture. These noise suppression components should be added in any first attempt to
suppress noise.

1.1

Noise Sources
The three major noise sources affecting mobile radio systems are: (1) radiated noise, (2) conducted
noise, and (3) induced noise. (See Figure 2-1 Noise Sources for typical vehicular noise sources.)

1.2

Radiated Noise
Radiated noise enters the radio through the antenna along with the desired signal and can block or
degrade desired communication. It can be generated by power lines, fluorescent lights, or by
electrical discharges from static build-up, ignition systems, or electrical motors. Radiated noise is the
most common cause of mobile radio interference.

2-2

REDUCING NOISE INTERFERENCE

When a spark discharge or arc takes place through air, energy is radiated at frequencies from a few
kilohertz to hundreds of megahertz. This spurious radiation may have some energy radiated at a
frequency near or even identical to the desired radio signal. The standard receiver may be unable to
distinguish between the two signals (desired and noise). Therefore they both enter the receiver,
resulting in degradation of the desired signal.
It is impractical to prevent all arcing in the standard vehicle electrical system. In an 8-cylinder engine
running at 2,000 RPM, arcing occurs across the spark plugs at a rate of 8,000 sparks per minute or
133 sparks per second. Electrical motors and generators also produce arcs.

Conducted Noise
Conducted noise enters the radio through the points where the radio is attached to the vehicle’s
electrical system such as battery cables, ignition switch, chassis ground etc. It can be generated by
electrical transients, electrical motors, poor grounding points, or inadequate electrical system
filtering (from alternators, generators, voltage regulators, or weak batteries). Conducted noise can
degrade both transmit and receive performance of a mobile radio.

1.4

2-3

Induced Noise
Induced noise enters the radio through the proximity of radio wiring to other wiring in the vehicle.
Electrical currents through the standard vehicular wiring can induce undesirable noise signals into
the radio cabling. Communication is degraded simply because the wiring provides a transformertype coupling action without any actual physical connection. Induced noise can degrade both
transmit and receive performance of a mobile radio.

2.0

Operation of a Conventional Ignition System

2.1

Introduction
To effectively reduce ignition interference in a vehicle, it is well to understand the operation of an
automobile ignition system.
Ignition is necessary in a gasoline engine to ignite the gasoline vapor and the air mixture in its
cylinders. The system is made up of the battery, distributor, breaker points, coil, condenser, and
spark plugs. The battery is the only electrical source of power in an automobile, so the lower battery
voltage must be stepped up to the high voltage necessary to arc across the spark plug electrodes.
This arc ignites the gas mixture.

2.2

Sources of Ignition Interference
In the conventional ignition system ( Figure 2-2 Typical Vehicular Ignition System, Simplified
Schematic Diagram) a mechanical circuit breaker (the cam and points in the distributor) opens the
primary circuit of the ignition coil, and high voltage is developed at the secondary. This high voltage
is synchronized and applied to each spark plug by the distributor.

Figure 2-2 Typical Vehicular Ignition System, Simplified Schematic Diagram
The battery is connected to the primary winding of the coil through the ignition switch. The primary
circuit is returned to the battery through the breaker points, which are bypassed by the condenser.
The points are normally closed. As the cam shaft is rotated by the engine, its lobes or corners open
and close the points in proper synchronization with the piston in each cylinder.
With the ignition switch on and the breaker points closed, coil primary current builds up at a rate
determined by the coil inductance.
When the breaker points open, primary current decreases and, by self-induction, an electromotive
force is induced in the primary which is many times greater than the battery voltage. The high
voltage inducted in the coil secondary causes a spark across the distributor rotor-to-spark plug wire
gap and then across the spark plug gap for a short interval of time when the breaker points open.
The condenser reduces arcing of the points.
The secondary circuit of the ignition coil, including the distributor rotor gap and the spark gap, is the
main source of ignition interference. The lead inductance and stray capacitance provide a tuned
circuit. Because the discharge of the circuit is through a low resistance (ionized spark gap), the
circuit tends to oscillate. The frequency and amplitude of oscillation vary as current changes in the
spark gap.

Detection of Noise Sources

3.1

Noise Detection Procedure
Detection of offending noise sources is the heart of noise suppression because, after the noise
source is identified, the solution becomes obvious. A logical methodical procedure is basic to the
effective noise suppression.
Use your available equipment to best advantage. A pick-up loop, about one inch in diameter, can be
connected to a portable CB radio or a mobile radio being operated at a frequency similar to the
installed radio frequency but from an isolated supply voltage. The pick-up loop can be moved
throughout the vehicle with the radio used as a radiated noise detector. Be sure the pick-up loop has
sufficient insulation to prevent the input of the radio from coming into direct contact with high voltage
points in the vehicle ignition system.
A non-polarized bypass capacitor, which has alligator clips firmly attached, can be used on a trialand-error basis to locate wiring which needs additional filtering. Keep capacitor lead lengths short
for best suppression. Ceramic disc capacitors are not as suitable or effective as automotive coaxial
capacitors. (See Figure 2-3 TLN8845_ Noise Reduction Kit for Alternator-Equipped Vehicles and
Figure 2-4 TLN6252_ Noise Reduction Kit for Generator-Equipped Vehicles for part numbers.)

Sources of Noise
Some interference is due to geographic location. This interference does not need to be eliminated
since it is possible for the vehicle to be moved away from the interfering noise source. Noise from
power lines, fluorescent lights, and other vehicles (emitting high levels of radiated noise) are
examples of noise which depends upon location. Make certain that you are not attempting to
suppress noise in a vehicle while it is in a noisy location. If you suspect that your location is noisy,
simply turn off everything in the vehicle except the radio and listen to the remaining ambient noise. If
the noise level is objectionable, you may have to noise suppress the vehicle during a less noisy time
of day or in a different, quieter location.
Check the installed radio for conducted and inducted noise by using an unmodulated signal
generator to supply a clean RF signal through a coaxial cable directly to the antenna connector on
the radio set. This should prevent radiated noise from entering the receiver and masking conducted
and induced noise. Make certain that the signal generator is not microphonic and is placed away
from the noise of the engine and exhaust.
Operate the controls for fans, blowers, power windows, headlamps, turn signals, windshield wipers,
and other electrical accessories. Listen for the presence of noise in the received radio signal. This
will allow the source of the interference to be determined. Some noise sources cannot be turned on
and off at will. These sources will need to be attacked piecemeal on a trial and error basis: alternator
whine, voltage regulators, electric fuel pump, and other possible sources. Remember that induced
noise can result from radio wiring being too close to other vehicle wiring. This problem is most easily
solved by proper cable routing at the time of installation.
Radiated noise must be attacked after conducted and induced noise has been satisfactorily
suppressed. The vehicle ignition system is usually the primary source of this interference. Antenna
placement can be critical in some installations. Remember that static discharge generates static or
radiated noise and will probably be generated only when the vehicle is in motion.
Since radiated noise interference is most noticeable in weak signal areas, it is suggested that
suppression be finalized while listening to a weak “on frequency” signal. (The squelch should be
“open” so that even marginal signals can be heard.)

4.0

Noise Reduction Techniques

4.1

General
There are three basic ways to suppress noise. The first is the addition of resistance in circuits
subject to ringing. This method is used for the ignition coil HV cable, spark plug wires, and spark
plugs. The second is to filter noise from low voltage wiring using coaxial bypass capacitors. The third
is to control static charge build-up using wipers for movable parts such as automobile hoods and
trunk lids, or flexible bonding leads for fixed members. Static in wheels may also be controlled using
collector rings. Applications of each of these techniques are discussed below.
The vehicle manufacturer’s service manual also may provide noise suppression information which is
valuable in any first attempt at noise suppression.

Ignition System Interference

4.2.1

Engine Maintenance and Tune-Up
The most important step in reducing ignition noise is insuring that the engine is in proper tune. Pay
particular attention to the following points if the noise interference from the ignition system is severe:
1.
2.

Be sure ignition timing is properly adjusted.

3.

Be sure the distributor cap and rotor are in good condition. They should be replaced at least
every 30,000 miles.

4.

Be sure that spark plug wires make good, solid contact at each end and are routed as far as
possible from low voltage leads.

5.

4.2.2

Be sure the spark plugs distributor points, and condenser are in good condition.

Many late-model automobiles are equipped with a shield over the distributor points. Check to
see that this shield is properly positioned and securely attached.

Available Noise Reduction Kits
Motorola offers two noise reduction kits: Model TLN8845_ for alternator-equipped vehicles; Model
TLN6252_ for generator-equipped vehicles. These kits are for suppression of noise in the primary
and secondary of the ignition coil and for bleeding of static charges on the hood. The TLN6252_
also is used to suppress noise from the generator and voltage regulator. Figure 2-3 TLN8845_
Noise Reduction Kit for Alternator-Equipped Vehicles and Figure 2-4 TLN6252_ Noise Reduction Kit
for Generator-Equipped Vehicles show the contents of the kits and their usage.
Motorola also offers wheel static collectors (Motorola Part No. 0100534254-regular type and
0100563173-small type). Use of these items are described in section " 4.7 Wheel Static " on page 12.
Most auto parts dealers can supply 0.05 µF bypass capacitors (condensers), resistive ignition wires,
and resistor spark plugs. The type of spark suppression used in noise reduction should always be in
accordance with the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer, that is, if spark plugs are to be
replaced with built-in suppressor types, they should be in the proper heat ranges and thread sizes
for the particular engine. In each ignition system, there is a maximum amount of resistance that may
be connected between the distributor and a spark plug. If resistance-type ignition wire is used, the
length of each wire must be limited so that its resistance does not exceed the allowable maximum.

4.2.3

Ignition Coil Interference
This type of interference is characterized by a popping sound which is most noticeable when the
engine is running slowly. To suppress the noise, connect a 0.1 µF coaxial capacitor (Motorola Part
No. 0882571B02) from the battery side of the ignition coil to vehicle ground (see Figure 2-5 Ignition
Coil Noise Suppression). This keeps the distributor noise from being conducted through the battery
lead into the electrical system of the vehicle. Note that some electronic ignition systems do not route
the battery lead to the ignition coil; proper operation of the ignition system can be impaired if the
”input” terminal is bypassed.

Distributor Interference
This type of interference is characterized by popping sounds which are present at all engine speeds.
It is caused by sparking between the rotor and the distributor cap inserts as the rotor turns. To
suppress this noise, use resistance ignition wire to connect the ignition coil to the distributor cap.

4.2.5

Battery Connections
The radio set power cable can pick up noise generated in the vehicle. This can be minimized by
connecting the power cable directly to the battery instead of the fuse block. The battery acts like a
large capacitor (about one Farad for a 50 amp/hour battery), which bypasses induced noise. The
battery ground lead should be securely bonded to the vehicle frame. Undesirable parallel ground
currents can be minimized by using the vehicle frame as a common ground point. If ignition switch
control of the radio is desired, the radio power leads may be connected to the battery through a relay
which is controlled by the ignition switch.

4.3

Alternator/Generator Whine
This type of interference is characterized by a high-pitched whine which varies with engine speed. A
0.5 µF coaxial capacitor (Motorola Part No. 0882571B01) can be used to bypass the whine. For
generators, the capacitors is connected in the armature lead. Never use a capacitor in the field lead.
Use the field suppressor assembly supplied in the TLN6252_ Noise Reduction Kit. For alternators,
the capacitor is connected in the lead to the battery post (see Figure 2-6 Generator Whine
Suppression and Figure 2-7 Alternator Whine Suppression).

Voltage Regulator Noise
This type of interference is characterized by erratic popping noises which change only slightly with
changes in engine speed. The noise is generated by arcing in the vibrating breaker contacts of the
voltage regulator. It can be suppressed by connecting a 0.5 µF coaxial capacitor (Motorola Part No.
0882571B01) in the battery and armature leads of the voltage regulator (see Figure 2-8 Voltage

Hood and Trunk Lid Noise
This type of noise is characterized by irregular popping sounds. It is caused by friction in poorly
bonded automobile hoods or trunk lids. This friction causes static electricity to build up until arcing
occurs. This type of noise is suppressed using a Motorola Hood Wipers and Mounting Hardware Kit
(part of TLN8845_ or TLN6252_ Noise Reduction Kits) which provides electrical bonding of the
hood or trunk to the vehicle body while permitting them to be opened.

4.8

Ground Bonding
If a vehicle is not properly bonded to ground, static charges can increase. This increase can cause
noise from electrical arcing. This type of noise is suppressed by bonding the part using one-inch
wide ground straps (keep them as short as possible). Some common points where bonding may be
helpful are listed below (see Figure 2-9 Ground Bonding).
A. From engine block to the firewall.
B. From engine block to vehicle frame at points where the engine is shock-mounted.
C. From the battery ground terminal to the vehicle body.
D. From top of front wheel “A” frames to chassis, particularly in cases where rubber-mounted
members are used.
