Electronic control apparatus for vehicles
First Claim
1. An electronic control apparatus used in a vehicle, comprising:
- a volatile memory in which control data is stored;
a control component performing control necessary to the vehicle using the control data stored in the volatile memory;
an update component updating the control data stored in the volatile memory on the basis of a result caused by the control performed by the control component;
a detecting component detecting an abnormality occurring in the volatile memory;
a recording component correlating a history of the abnormality detected by the detecting component with information indicating a region of the volatile memory in which the abnormality occurs and recording information indicating the history of the abnormality;
a communication interface communicable with an external device; and
a transmitting unit generating a transmission signal indicating the abnormality history of the volatile memory on the basis of the information indicating the history recorded by the recording component and transmitting the transmission signal to the external device via the communication interface.

Abstract
An electronic control apparatus for vehicles is provided. The apparatus comprises a volatile memory storing control data therein, a control component performing control necessary to the vehicle using the control data in the volatile memory, and an update component updating the control data in the volatile memory based on controlled results. The apparatus further comprises a detecting component, recording component and transmitting unit. The detecting component detects an abnormality occurring in the volatile memory and the recording component correlates a history of the detected abnormality with information indicating a region of the volatile memory in which the abnormality occurs and records information indicating the abnormality history. The transmitting unit generates a transmission signal indicating the abnormality history on the basis of the information indicating the recorded history and transmitting the transmission signal to an external device via a communication interface.
