Terminal equipped electric wire and method of fixing sensor

A method of fixing a sensor including:

• connecting an exposed portion of a conductor of an electric wire to an electric wire connection portion of a terminal fitting, the electric wire connection portion being at a rear side of the terminal fitting, the exposed portion extending out of an end portion of an insulating sheath of the electric wire;
• disposing a water stop shrinkable tube on the electric wire to cover the electric wire connection portion connected to the exposed portion;
• heating the water stop shrinkable tube such that the water stop shrinkable tube covers the electric wire connection portion in a watertight manner;
• disposing a sensor on an outer surface of the water stop shrinkable tube such that the sensor contacts the outer surface of the water stop shrinkable tube;
• disposing a sensor fixing shrinkable tube to cover the sensor disposed on the outer surface of the water stop shrinkable tube;
• and
• fixing the sensor on the outer surface of the water stop shrinkable tube by heating the sensor fixing shrinkable tube.
