Abstract
An abnormality notification switch is switched on when a power storage module is abnormal but is switched off when the power storage module is normal. A first detection element outputs a signal indicating an abnormality of the power storage module when detecting that an electric current flows along an electric current line. A second detection element is inserted into an electric current line between a node and a second high-side reference potential that has a higher potential than a potential of a first high-side reference potential. The second detection element outputs a signal indicating an occurrence of a disconnection when detecting that no electric current flows along this electric current line. A retaining circuit retains a potential at the node higher than the first high-side reference potential and lower than the second high-side reference potential.
