Abstract
A fault detection assembly for an aircraft system according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a transmitter that communicates an electrical input signal to a first portion of an electrical connector, the first portion moveable between a fully seated position and a fully unseated position relative to a second portion of the electrical connector to define a range of insertion depths, a receiver that senses an electrical output signal relating to the electrical input signal, and a comparison module that determines an insertion depth in the range of insertion depths based on a change in a resonant frequency of the electrical output signal with respect to the electrical input signal.
