An FET for malfunction check is connected between the gate and source of an FET for power-source output control, which is connected in series in a power output line from a battery used as a power source for a load. A malfunction determination circuit determines whether the FET for power-source output control is operating normally or not, by monitoring output voltage of the FET for malfunction check. Further, the malfunction determination circuit identifies malfunction of the FET for power-source output control due to short-circuiting during actual use.
