Abstract
A vehicle component tamper detection system is provided capable of appropriately preventing tampering from occurring, and of facilitating and ensuring detection of such tampering when it occurs, while maintaining flexibility in layout and in manufacturing processes. The present invention omits wiring between an RFID 12 and an ECU 14 by employing a small radio frequency identification integrated circuit (RFID) to wirelessly transmit signals to a receiver 13. With this configuration, the present invention contributes to increased layout flexibility as well as a reduction in assembly steps and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, because the RFID 12 is small, the RFID 12 may be mixed in slurry and disposed at an inconspicuous portion of a detection target component 11. Subsequently, it is possible to hinder visual confirmation of the RFID 12, thereby making the tampering itself difficult.
