## What each position does



- Some coil grounds reach the jack sleeve only through the drawn coil network (groundsReachSleeve); topology is transcribed as shown.
- Series-link wires sit on the signal path as drawn; the engine rejects that topology (seriesLinkIsolated) but the transcription matches the manufacturer diagram.
