Abstract

It is possible to optimize the time required for a success/failure determination step and the accuracy of the success/failure determination step by determining region-based connector/wiring information to be created and increasing or decreasing the number of patterns of the region-based connector/wiring information. When a wire harness is arranged in each partitioned area of a vehicle space, specifications satisfied by the vehicle are referenced, region-based connector/wiring information described for a wire harness arranged in each partitioned area realizing a predetermined specification is created, and the presence/absence of errors in connections of electric wires is inspected for the created region-based connector/wiring information.

Claims

1. A wire harness conductivity inspection method comprising:

a reference step of referencing specifications satisfied by a vehicle in which a wire harness is arranged in each partitioned area of a vehicle space;

a creation step of creating region-based connector/wiring information described for a wire harness arranged in each partitioned area for realizing a predetermined specification; and

an inspection step of inspecting the presence/absence of an error in a connection of electric wires in the created region-based connector/wiring information.

3. A wire harness conductivity inspection program which causes a computer to execute the steps of the wire harness conductivity inspection method according to claim 1.

2. A wire harness conductivity inspection method comprising:

a first specification step of specifying a predetermined first partitioned area from among partitioned areas into which a vehicle space is partitioned; and

a creation step of creating region-based connector/wiring information described for at least a predetermined wire harness from among first wire harnesses arrangeable in the first partitioned area.
