Perhaps I should have been clearer and stated 'across the terminals' vice 'at the terminals'. When the ground connection is removed, the voltage across the terminals goes to zero. When the CCU re-applies the ground, the voltage goes to 12V. The method of cycling the connection (whether the hot side or the ground side is cycled) has no affect on the voltage seen across the terminals.
