Is there a way to chase grounds through the PCM connector?

1.Box to frame rail
2.Lower Cab - Passenger side floorboard, = cab to frame rail
3.Inner cab grounds, = behind both kick-panels in cab.
4.Firewall starting from the far right (passenger side),-
a. PCM - Passenger side firewall next to the fender.
b. Battery ground & misc.
c. Engine to cab ground.
5. Battery ground routs to passenger side frame rail behind the tire then continues to engine next to the starter.

Absolute Ground, - Alternator to Block ground.

Yea, they are all easy to find. The smaller grounds use green 8mm bolts. Like in the cab and on the firewall.

Thanks for the info. I ended up taking it to the dealer and they said I had a bad coil which caused Radio Frequency Interference with the PCM.
