Center cluster module
First Claim
1. A center cluster module, comprising:
- a connection slot portion to which a plurality of electronic components disposed on a car are removably connected;
a plurality of component detectors disposed in said connection slot portion, which are provided so as to correspond to the plurality of electronic components, for detecting whether the electronic components are connected to the connection slot portion;
a determinator for determining, on the basis of detection results output from the plurality of component detectors, the state of the electronic components inserted into the connection slot portion; and
a display for indicating determination results made by the determinator.

Abstract
A center cluster module which checks connection failures of connectors and for problems in electronic components after electronic components have been inserted into connection slot portions and informs the worker of connection status of the individual electronic components, thus improving work efficiency. A center cluster module includes a connection slot portion which removably receives a plurality of electronic components to be mounted on a vehicle. Component detection sections provided so as to correspond to individual electric components detect whether or not electronic components are inserted into the connection slot portion. From a detection signal output from each of the plurality of component detection sections, an inserted component determination section determines the state of the electronic component inserted into the connection slot portion. A display section indicates the result of the determination made by the inserted component determination section.

8. An electronic module arrangement, comprising:
-
a first connection slot portion to which a first set of a plurality of electronic components disposed on a car are removably connected; a first set of a plurality of component detectors disposed in said first connection slot portion, which are provided so as to correspond to the first set of plurality of electronic components, for detecting whether the electronic components are connected to the connection slot portion; a second connection slot portion, located remote from said first connection slot portion, to which a second set of a plurality of electronic components are removably connected; a second set of a plurality of component detectors disposed in said second connection slot portion, which are provided so as to correspond to the second set of plurality of electronic components, for detecting whether the electronic components are connected to the connection slot portion; determination means for determining, on the basis of detection results output from the plurality of component detectors of said first and second sets, the state of the electronic components inserted into the first and second connection slot portions; and a display for indicating determination results made by the determination means. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
