electrical circuit It closes an electrical circuit (current path) to ground. Technically speaking, it is not "ground" but rather the mass of the car, which is pretty isolated from the real ground (the mass of the Earth).

circuito a masa/tierra

Sería:
...cierra el circuito a masa para el instrumento xxxx....
Si bien en un vehículo no hay tierra propiamente dicha, la palabra se usa en este sentido y el original usa el término "ground" también.
