1. A seat weight detecting subsystem provided for each seat in a vehicle and for outputting weight detection data which is necessary for a processing operation of an ECU in a main system, the seat weight detecting subsystem comprising:

  • a plurality of weight detecting sensors; and

    a power supplying member that is connected to a power supply,wherein the power supplying member includes;

    a FPC which has circuits forming desired routes, and is formed so as to have a size which corresponds to at least arrangements of all of the plurality of weight detecting sensors on the seat in the vehicle; and

    a seat side ECU functional portion having;

    sensor connecting sections which serve as connecting portions of the plurality of weight detecting sensors at the corresponding arrangements;

    a signal receiving section which receives sensor signals from the weight detecting sensors through the sensor connecting sections;

    a data generating section which generates the weight detection data based on the received sensor signals; and

    a data outputting section as a portion which outputs the generated weight detection data to the ECU; and

    wherein the seat side ECU functional portion is mounted to a specified position on the circuits of the FPC.
