Implementation of suppression measures
All electrical consumers in the vehicle are individually suppressed at factory.
Suppression measures are all sensors, actuators and all electrical motors in the vehicles as well as the controllers in the control units which might create high-frequency interference.
To suppress interference, electrical components such as capacitors, coils and diodes are directly installed in the electrical components.
Interference-suppressing components are also installed in the connector housings of electrical consumers.
The earth cable formerly employed for suppression is no longer used because suppression measures need to be applied as close as possible to the sources of interference.
