where is the ecu ground wire terminated?

i was wondering where the oem ecu ground wire, pin#13, terminated on the car?

i want to have my wideband gauge ground wire terminated @ the same location.

TIA

I believe it is terminated behind the passenger side kick panel and up a bit, about half way up the glove box height if I remember properly.

^ i crawled under the dash & saw 2 black wires with gold dots going to through the firewall & being terminated in front of the battery on the drivers side.....along with a bunch of other ground wires.

i am refering to ecu pin #'s 13 & 26. per aem, they are ecu ground wires.

i want to ground my aem uego to the same point as the ecu, in attempts to alleviate a discrepancy between what the uego say's & what is observed within logged data.

That is what the 02 gain is for. Again look on the passenger side there is a ground point where a few wires terminate, I believe that is the ecu ground.

i know, but sometime the 2 are bang on & oher times the gauge & ecu are ~0.2-0.4 different not something i care for while tuning on 91 octane.

i will. but according to aem, the 2 ecu ground wires are pin 13 & 26. i followed those wires to the grounding area near the battery. i will look again for the wires your describing...

according to the aem wiring .pdf, the ecu ground wires are #13 & #26 = black with a gold dot.

i did find wires in the kick-panel area, however they are black with silver dots.....i didnt find any black wires with silver dots coming out of the ecu?

To answer this for people in the future, The ECU grounds (pin 13 and 26) terminate at grounding location #4, which is the grounding location behind the battery on the side of the strut tower.
