Instantaneous wire interruption detection system for vehicle electrical system
First Claim
1. An instantaneous wire interruption detection system for an electrical system of a vehicle, comprising:
- a signal abnormality detection portion for detecting a signal abnormality, the signal abnormality defined as a change from a normal state to an abnormal state of an electric signal input via a signal wire to the signal abnormality detection portion from a signal generation portion that generates electric signals; and
a holding portion for latching the detection result as a latch signal when the signal abnormality detection portion detects the signal abnormality.

Abstract
In an instantaneous wire interruption detection system for a vehicle electrical system, a VSC-ECU includes an input processing circuit that processes electric signals transmitted from various sensors and an EFI-ECU by a signal wire (wire harness); a signal state determination circuit that determines whether the electric signals processed by the input processing circuit are normal or abnormal; a latch circuit that latches the determination result as a latch signal; and an output circuit that can output the latch signal. When a signal abnormality is detected by the signal state determination circuit, the latch circuit is able to generate the latch signal in synchronization therewith, and latch the latch signal for a predetermined time. Accordingly, for example, by connecting a tester device to the output circuit, and monitoring the latch signal, it is possible to detect instantaneous wire interruption of the electrical system.
