Pay attention to the selected function and what wiring diagram you are navigating to when following a signal. It is possible to navigate to wiring diagrams that are not directly related to the selected function.

3. Cable harness image

Cable harness images are accessed by right-clicking a signal and selecting Cable harness image. Cable harness images show the location of connectors, ground points, branching points and location of the harness label. When opening a cable harness image, the corresponding endpoints of both sides of the wire are highlighted in the image. By clicking a connector in the image, pinout for the connector is shown in the right-hand panel.
