Rigid tubular end piece/connecting terminal`s connection state detecting system for vehicle, has base station to remotely examine state of transponder controlled based on state of detector which detects distance separating flange and stop

摘要

The system has a detector detecting a distance separating a peripheral flange (8) of a rigid tubular end piece (3) and an inner radial annular stop (9) of a connecting terminal (1). The detector takes two states based on whether a connection between the end piece and the terminal is good or bad. An electronic device has an aerial (24) connected to a radio frequency identification transponder (22) with two states and a base station for remotely examining a state of the transponder, where the state of the transponder is controlled based on a state of the detector.
