Abstract
A vehicle lock controller that is easily used. The controller is installed in a vehicle having a plurality of doors and controls locking of the doors through communication with a portable device. The controller includes transmitting circuits, each provided in association with a corresponding one of the doors to output a request signal and request the portable device to transmit a response signal. A control unit is connected to the transmitting circuits to intermittently output the request signal from each of the transmitting circuits at a predetermined cycle. The control unit determines a priority order of the transmitting circuits to set the predetermined cycle of the request signal output from each transmitting circuit in accordance with the priority order.
