Abstract
An engine ECU is provided with an abnormality-diagnosis unit performing an abnormality diagnosis of an Air-Con ECU, and a monitoring IC monitoring the abnormality-diagnosis unit. The abnormality-diagnosis unit determines whether the output signal of the Air-Con ECU is normal based on the specified criterion value, so that the abnormality diagnosis of the Air-Con ECU is performed. The monitoring IC determines whether a criterion value is normal, which is used during the abnormality diagnosis of the Air-Con ECU. The abnormality-diagnosis unit performs an abnormality diagnosis of the monitoring IC. When the monitoring IC determines that the criterion value is abnormal or the abnormality-diagnosis unit determines that the monitoring IC is abnormal, the abnormality diagnosis of the Air-Con ECU is prohibited and a specified operation for abnormality is performed.
