BMW E36 PNP Grounds

Recommended Posts

I was review the BMW M50TUB25 factory wiring diagrams and noticed that the stock ECU has eight grounds:

15 - ground

28 - ground for electronics and shielding of sensors

34 - ground remaining output stages

40 - O2 signal ground

45 - shield ground

55 - ignition ground

71 - knock ground

44 - sensor ground

The pinouts for the PNP only has pin 34 grounded. I am wondering how the sensors are being grounded.

For example, I expect my O2 sensor signal to ground to pin 40 but it doesn't seem be connected to anything according to the PNP pinouts. Is this just an omission in the VTS help pages or is the PNP routing grounds to pin 34?

If it isn't, what should I be grounding my sensors to? I see the V88 has a dedicated sensor ground but the PNP doesn't have one in the pinouts.
