Abstract:
An automatic wiring analyzer for testing a first harness electrically attached to an electrical system, comprising:a. a plurality of I/O connectors, at least one of the I/O connectors being engageable to only one end of the harness; and b. a self-programming test unit comprising: i. a set of testing pins alternatively connectable to each of the I/O connectors; and ii. a test program being operative to identify the I/O connector that is connected to the set of testing pins, to establish a standard wiring pattern of a second harness, to determine a learned wiring pattern of the first harness, and to compare the standard wiring pattern of the second harness with the learned wiring pattern of the first harness while only one end of the first harness is connected to the I/O connector and the first harness is detached from the electrical system.
