A trouble-shooting circuit arrangement for localizing and identifying the first failure in time in a sequence of failures which has a plurality of monitor circuits including trouble detector circuits for producing direct current outputs in response to the occurence of failure or trouble at various contact points and trouble localization circuits for identifying the trouble which has occurred in any of the monitor circuits, identifying such factors as coolant, pressure, temperature, fuel and the like in an engine. The arrangement locates the first failure or trouble in time, which has occurred in any of the circuits so as to remedy the countermeasures of the equipment against the occurence of trouble or failure therein.
A trouble detecting and localization circuit apparatus for identifying a first failure or trouble in time in a sequence of failures or troubles, comprising a plurality of monitor circuit means (4.sub.1, 4.sub.2) having trouble detector means (2.sub.1, 2.sub.2), with contacts (9.sub.1, 9.sub.2) for producing direct current outputs in response to the occurence of trouble at said contacts (9.sub.1, 9.sub.2), and trouble localization circuit means (3.sub.1, 3.sub.2), and a connecting line operatively coupling said trouble detector means to said trouble localization circuit means, each of said monitor circuit means consisting of:
