Digital Ground?

Post by Furble »

Just noticed there is a pin for "Ground" on the digital connector on the s300. I'm only digital feature I'm using is the CAN output function using Hondata Protocol. Should I be connecting this Ground pin to something? The Other CAN device I'm using to read the CAN output is a Plex Knock Monitor and on it's CAN harness it only has 2 wires CAN-H & CAN-L which I've hooked up to the s300 as labeled. There is no Ground wire coming off the Plex. Should I just run another wire from the Digital ground pin direct to the Engine ground or something or ignore?

CAN doesn't need a ground. Please do not add grounds as they make ground loops.
