Abstract:
A circuit for diagnostic testing includes a current source coupled to a power source and configured to provide wetting current along a path to a load control switch, a current sensor connected in series with the current source along the path, the current sensor being configured to generate a current sensor signal indicative of a current level along the path, a voltage measurement unit having an input terminal coupled to a node along the path through which the wetting current flows to reach the load control switch, the voltage measurement unit being configured to detect a state of the load control switch based on a voltage at the node, and a controller coupled to the current sensor and the voltage measurement unit, the controller being configured to determine a wetting current diagnostic condition in accordance with the current level and the detected state.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein:\n implementing, by the controller, first and second diagnostic routines when the voltage measurement unit detects that the state of the load control switch is open and closed, respectively, wherein the first diagnostic routine is configured to detect whether the state of the load control switch is detected correctly based on the comparisons of the current level with the open and closed switch thresholds, and wherein the second diagnostic routine is configured to compare the current level with the closed switch threshold.
