Abstract
A vehicle safety device control system includes a plurality of acceleration sensors. Test pulses are supplied to the plurality of acceleration sensors. In order to judge whether or not each acceleration sensor has failed each acceleration sensor is checked for whether or not it outputs a signal that corresponds to the test pulse. The signal from the failed acceleration sensor is not used when a determining if a collision has occurred; only the signals from the other acceleration sensors are used in this determination.
