Abstract:
Systems are provided to determine a location of an electrical fault in an electrical system of a vehicle. A test apparatus can include a control unit and a plurality of scan circuits. The control unit is configured to electrically couple the plurality of scan circuits to the electrical system and trigger the plurality of scan circuits to pass electrical signals to the electrical system. Each scan circuit is configured to detect a presence of an electrical fault in the electrical system based on an electrical signal passed. Each scan circuit provides information indicative of a location of the electrical fault in the electrical system, when detected, to the control unit.

Claim (Index 13):
A system comprising:\n a location system configured to be onboard a vehicle and including a scan circuit, a control unit, and a coupling circuit configured to be onboard the vehicle, wherein the coupling circuit is electrically connected to the scan circuit and to plural electrical circuits of an electrical system of the vehicle, wherein the control unit is configured to control the coupling unit to selectively couple the scan circuit to the plural electrical circuits, wherein the scan circuit is configured, when coupled to the electrical circuits, to apply electrical signals to the plural electrical circuits and to receive secondary signals generated by the plural electrical circuits responsive to the electrical signals, wherein the scan circuit is further configured to communicate information of the secondary signals that are received to the control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to determine a location of an electrical issue in the electrical system based on the information received from the at least one scan circuit, and wherein the control unit is further configured to control at least one electronic device based on the location of the electrical fault that is determined.
