Default Map sensor, where does the earth come from???

There is an Earth point on the Map Sensor on one of the 3 mounting holes.

Where does this earth come from?

Is it from the loom? if so, where exactly? in the same part of loom that connects to the map sensor near to the map sensor connector?

So where the the loom wires go to the map sensor connector, is there a seperate Earth wire that comes out of the loom next to this connector?

Ive got the Earth wire connection on the throttle from the loom, but the Map sensor has an Earth point on it, so im wondering what goes onto it?

It's earthed at that point through the MAP sensor bracket.

Yep, there's no seperate earth strap needed there, just the bolt.
