Charge control device for vehicle
First Claim
1. A charge control device for a vehicle mounted with a power storage device for driving the vehicle, the charge control device being capable of charging the power storage device with a supply electric power from a power supply outside the vehicle in a case where the vehicle and the power supply are connected by a coupler, the coupler outputting a supply electric power signal indicating information about the supply electric power in a case where the coupler is connected to the vehicle and the power supply,the charge control device comprising:
- a control line for transmitting the supply electric power signal;
a resistor having one end connected to the control line;
a potential setting circuit setting a potential of the other end of the resistor to a first potential in a case where the vehicle is connected to the coupler and setting the potential of the other end of the resistor to a second potential higher than the first potential in a case where the vehicle is not connected to the coupler; and
an abnormality detection unit performing a detection of a break of the control line based on a potential of the control line in a case where the vehicle is not connected to the coupler.

Abstract
A resistor is connected to first and second terminals included in a vehicle inlet. To the first terminal, a control pilot line used for transmitting a pilot signal is connected. In the case where the vehicle inlet is not connected to a connector, a switch is turned off. A voltage generation circuit sets the potential of the second terminal to a potential higher than a vehicle earth potential. In the case where the vehicle inlet is not connected to the connector and the control pilot line is broken, the potential generated on the control pilot line is substantially equal to the earth potential level. Based on the potential of the control pilot line, a control unit detects a break.
