Abstract
An electronic control apparatus is provided which is equipped with a timer-activated function and a timer diagnosis function. The apparatus is designed to retain the fact that a host microcomputer has been activated upon expiry of time measured by a timer as a history record in the timer. This improves the reliability of diagnosing a malfunction of the timer.
