Abstract
An on-board control device includes a plurality of relays, a control unit, and a plurality of current detection units. The plurality of current detection units detect the value of current that flows through respective branch paths. The relays switch between an allowance state of allowing current flow on the respective branch paths and a shut off state of shutting off the current flow. If an anomalous state determined in advance is detected, the control unit switches the relay provided on a specific branch path on which the current value is increasing at the fastest rate among the plurality of branch paths to the shut off state, based on the detection results of the current detection units.
