It's the Major return for every electrical circuit for the engine (read ECU). And the starter. Outside of that it's not very important in the scheme of things.

THe same negative cable makes contact with the chassis below the left strut tower and provides the major return for items like the headlights, logicon, taillights wipers, radio, you name it.
