Fault detection and isolation in automotive wiring harness by time-domain reflectometry

摘要: An automotive electrical system including a wiring harness incorporates the dedicated test line passing through critical connectors and components for allowing detection isolation of improperly connected connectors. The can feed expansion connectors, termination junction blocks. Connector fault is achieved using time-domain reflectometry after final assembly, during vehicle servicing, or on-board usage. A large number expensive inconvenient quits tow-in's are avoided that would otherwise occur.
