  • Publication number: 20170177757
    Abstract: A method for providing an interactive wiring diagram is provided. The method includes receiving, at a processor of a wireless device, from an image sensor of the wireless device, an image of a wire loom between a first vehicle component and a second vehicle component of a vehicle, the wire loom including a plurality of wire connections of the vehicle. The method includes determining, using a position sensor of the wireless device, a position of the wire loom relative to the vehicle and to the wireless device. The method includes identifying, using a database, a wire connection based upon at least the image or the position of the wire loom. The method includes generating an interactive wiring diagram of the wire connection based upon the identifying. The interactive wiring diagram includes a trace route indicating a presence of a third vehicle component between the first and the second vehicle component.
