An alternator control apparatus includes a first controller that controls an alternator; and a second controller that transmits an instruction signal to the first controller at a first predetermined cycle, the instruction signal being related to electric power generation of the alternator, wherein the first controller controls the alternator such that an amount of the electric power generated by the alternator is greater than 0, if the first controller does not receive the instruction signal from the second controller over a predetermined time period that is longer than the first predetermined cycle, and the second controller stops transmitting the instruction signal over the predetermined time period, if the second controller determines that the instruction signal from the second controller is received at the first controller as an abnormal instruction signal that does not meet a predetermined communication specification. |
