Abstract

A wiring assembly board for assembling a wire harness. The wire harness comprises a plurality of wires connected between a plurality of wiring connectors, each connector comprising an array of wire terminals. The wiring assembly board comprises an assembly surface and a plurality of test connectors provided on the assembly surface. Each test connector is for connection to a respective wiring connector and comprises an array of test terminals for establishing an electrical connection with the respective array of wire terminals once the wiring and test connectors have been connected. A microcomputer is associated with each test connector and comprises an interface for individually transmitting or receiving test signals though each test terminal of the respective test connector.
