TESTING OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN HIGH VOLUME PRODUCTION VEHICLES

While designing electrical system for some of the vehicles listed in this blog it has been realised that the vehicles were entering full production without the electrical system being fully tested. As a rule, prior to start of full productions, a number of vehicles in various combinations are tested. These tests are designed to verify the mechanical properties of these vehicles; of necessity , the number of vehicles used in these tests seldom exceeds 100. The combinations are chosen under mechanical requirements guidelines. Electrical system, on he other hand, can have several thousand of different combinations! Some of the variations encountered in a standard passenger vehicle production run are listed on the attached chart (yet to be added!).
After having been involved in the design of the electrical system for more than a quarter of a century, our company has over that time developed a Method of Electrical System Testing which, when properly applied, ensures that all vehicles on entering full production, and beyond, are completely free of any electrical faults/problems/malfunctions, etc.
