Stock Grounding Points

I just did the 07 accord transmission swap last week. I'm having some issues and wanted to improve the grounding and make sure they all are connected. Can anybody tell me where all the stock grounding points are? Pics would be really helpful. I have a 2002 Tl Type S.

ABS, VSA, /!\, cel lights are on. I believe they are all being caused by one problem. I was hoping it was just a bad ground and the LF wheel speed sensor wasn't working properly because of this. I can't think of a reason that the sensor would be damaged. I did put a new cv axle on that side though. It is only showing one abs code 83-1. It reappears within secs after turning the car on.

Hmmm I haven't seen these problems with the transmission being swapped. I have seen a few speed sensors go bad on our generation so it could just be coincidence that it went out at the time.

I need this info as well. If someone could post where the grounding points are would greatly appreciate it. Or if someone can chime in on good locations to just do a custom ground, want to throw my own wires for my own piece of mine since car is 99, but not sure where good attachment points would be.

Your best bet would be to download a copy of the "Factory Service Manual".
There's an electrical section which would detail the wiring schematics and grounds.

Ground points for the battery you mean? Because the transmission is literally a ground point as is connected to the engine and the alternator itself its connected to it (cant have a better ground point for that)... But I agree those lights usually mean ABS sensor go wrong or its disconnected I would check my wiring again.


If you still want the ground points for the battery:
1.- Directly into the Chassis in front of battery on top of the High Bulb.
2.- Directly into the Transmission ground point.
Optional for BIG 3:
3.- Connect a new ground point from the Alternator into the Chassis like #1 this will ensure you have the best possible ground to the chassis.


Hope it helps.

I doubt its a ground issue, Its likely you damaged the senor or it came unplugged during the swap.
