Abstract
An electronic control unit includes a first controller, a second controller, and a determination portion. The first controller includes a first control portion that determines whether or not supply of power from a battery to the first controller is interruptible. The second controller includes a regulator that regulates power supplied from the battery to the first controller and a second control portion that controls the regulator. The determination portion determines whether or not the supply of power is forcibly interruptible even when the first control portion does not determine that the supply of power is interruptible. When the determination portion determines that the supply of power is forcibly interruptible, the second control portion controls the regulator to interrupt the supply of power from the battery to the first controller.
