Abstract
An electronic control unit includes an input interface having multiplexer circuits, each of which circuits is supplied with input signals supplied from an outside of the electronic control unit, and a failsafe processing part that determines whether an abnormality occurs in the input interface by referring to a state of a specific multiplexer circuit that is at least one of the multiple multiplexer circuits when determining that an output signal of the input interface has an abnormal state and executes a failsafe process based on results of determination as to whether an abnormality occurs in the specific multiplexer circuit.
