Abstract:
An electrical circuit for a mobile machine, including an interface coupled between a controller and a plurality of sensors for accurately diagnosing faults in all of the sensor wires and the sensors themselves. This effective resolution reduces the downtime of the mobile machine and operator time by allowing faults to be timely isolated. The interface selectively couples a test signal to each of the sensor conductors, and also selectively couples a responsive returned characteristic signal to the controller, where the returned characteristic signal enables the controller to diagnose each of the plurality of conductors and sensors for faults. The electrical circuit may further include testing circuitry that can specifically determine a location of the determined fault in each of the plurality of conductors or each of the plurality of sensors.
