Default so where are the grounds?

The only tow I can find using the diagram provided in the service manual are the two by the front wheel wells... I cannot find any of the others.
trying to correct the "service abs, service traction" issue

pics would be helpful or, failing that, a description of where each can be located. For instance, I the picture says there are two grounds located by the hinges to the doors... but I cannot find them, are they in the door? behind the dash?

Thanks

Check the Stickies in this section, huge post on electrical issues. There's a diagram of the ground locations.

Since you have a 2000 here is the info you need. Your EBCM is grounded at two points. G108 and G101. 2001 and newer cars EBCMs are grounded at G108 and G103. G101/103 are the grounds for the pump motor circuit which involves the internal relay in the EBCM. G108 is the ground for the EBCM electronics.





Substitute G101 where you see G103 in the pictures.

Here is what I got.

Keep in mind, I just switched the battery out.
They are all history codes, because it wasn't giving me any errors when I ran them.
I cleaned the three under hood grounds as well, but it keeps coming back intermittently however.
That said, here is what I have:

TCS: C1243

LDCM: B2283, B2284, U1064

RDCM: B2283, B2285, U1064

SCM: B0851, B2605

RFA: U1096, U1064, U1016.

again, they are all history codes.

it looks like the only one that is relevant is the TCS C1243: BPMV Pump Motor Stall.
