Terminal-equipped electric wire and method of manufacturing terminal-equipped electric wire

A method of manufacturing a terminal-equipped electric wire, the method comprising:

• a coloring step of applying coloring to an electric wire in which a conductor member having conductivity is covered with an insulating covering member having insulating properties, specifically, applying coloring on a distal end surface of the conductor member exposed from an end of the insulating covering member;
• a crimping step of crimping a crimp terminal to the electric wire after the coloring step, the crimp terminal including a conductor crimp member crimped to the conductor member exposed from the end of the insulating covering member, an electrical connection member electrically connected to a connection partner, and a coupling member coupling the conductor crimp member and the electrical connection member to each other;
• and
• an inspection step of inspecting, after the crimping step, based on a relative position between the colored distal end surface and the coupling member, whether a distal end position of the distal end surface in a conductor exposed portion that protrudes from the conductor crimp unit toward the coupling member side and is exposed to the outside is within a permissible range, the permissible range being provided from a reference position provided in an end of the conductor crimp member on the coupling member side toward the electrical connection member.
