Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for detection and analysis of abnormalities in a power line communication network of a vehicle. The vehicle includes various vehicle modules. The power line communication network includes power lines designed to carry electric power to the vehicle modules. Each vehicle module includes a power line communication module that is communicatively coupled to at least one of the power lines. The power line communication modules enable the power lines to communicate communication information to and from the vehicle modules. The power line communication modules can communicate pilot signals over the power line communication network. One or more of the power line communication modules includes a reflectometer module configured to perform reflectometry processing on the pilot signals to determine properties of the power line communication network.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly comprises a primary connector housing, a mating connector housing, a primary lock, and a secondary lock. The primary lock is defined by both the primary connector housing and the mating connector housing. The secondary lock is supported by the mating connector housing and is arranged and configured for interacting with the primary lock so as to prevent the primary lock, when positioned in a locked position, from disengaging. The primary lock comprises a lock arm extending from the primary connector housing and a lock lever extending from the mating connector housing.

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.
