On a car with sensors everywhere, a grounding issue can throw off what the sensor is reading, though from what I have seen many sensors have their own ground wires now.

Even a good multimeter will measure resistance with an accuracy of +-0.1 ohms. But if you have 10A running through that part of the circuit that could be a difference of 1v!
