Abstract: A system and method for determining that a male terminal and a female terminal are becoming disconnected in a connector as a result of the connector becoming loose or the terminals becoming corroded. The connector is a multi-terminal connector including a male terminal housing that houses a plurality of male terminals and a female terminal housing that houses a plurality of associated female terminals. One of the male terminals is a diagnostic terminal that is shorter than the other male terminals so that it is disconnected from its associated female terminal before the other male terminals when the terminal housing separate, which can be used to detect connector failure.

Abstract translation: 由于连接器松动或终端被腐蚀，确定连接器中的公端子和母端子变得断开的系统和方法。 连接器是包括容纳多个阳端子的阳端子壳体和容纳多个相关联的阴端子的阴端子壳体的多端子连接器。 阳端子之一是诊断端子，其比其它阳端子短，使得在端子壳体分离时，其它阳端子与其相关的阴端子断开，可用于检测连接器故障。
