What does this symbol mean on a wiring diagram?

I can’t find it any where on the webs, does the Oppo hive mind know?

Looks like a capacitor, except hashed.

Data storage...but dotted? Maybe cloud data storage (I know I’m not being helpful)

It’s short for Black and Yellow wire.

The dot or the cylinder shapes?

The cylinders

Is it not a spare port where something can be plugged into and so may or may not have something there depending on the spec.

Or something recessed so there is something there but the wires that cross it play no part in it’s function.

my first guess would be an inductive current sensor

edit: no, more likely it means shielded cable? are the “cylinders” connected to ground?

edit 2: yep:

Shielding.

Maybe. It’s part of the ECU and sensors, so I kind of doubt it, since I don’t think there’s much change between the different trims, but maybe.

Awesome! That makes the most sense, since these are on various engine sensors and such.

As an accountant that had IM classes this was my first thought, then I had the 2nd thought of this being electrical and pressed the back button and let the smart electrical people figure it out.

I think thomas donohue is right, it means shielded wire.

Would it mean the junction is shielded, or that the whole wire branching off is shielded?

That’s an invisibility generator.

Maybe a part that’s attached to the other side of the circuit board.

Any wire withing the symbol is shielded. And the shields should be going to ground. I’m thinking that red wire is both overall foil shield and braided shield because it has two shields shown for the same wire.

Some wires have just an overall shield, or just a braided shield. Both is the best shielding.

The whole wire should be shielded. Two grounds is likely for a foil and braided shield as diplo said.
