Claim:
1. A method for detecting an electrical continuity fault between a first and a second points of a network of metallization strips, the network being defined by a mapping listing, for each metallization strip, its length, the method comprising: determining, from the mapping, a length of a shortest path between the first and the second points; sending, at the first point, a signal in the network; detecting, at the second point, the signal sent; measuring a duration between the sending and the detection of the signal; and knowing speed of propagation of the signal in the metallization strips, determining a presence of at least one electrical continuity fault in the network of metallization strips between the first and second points of the network of metallization strips if the distance traveled calculated from the measured duration is different from the length of the shortest path determined from the mapping.
