Apparatus for detecting abnormality of relay

摘要

An abnormality detection apparatus, which reduces erroneous detection of an open abnormality of a relay, includes a microcomputer that activates the relay and determines whether the output voltage of the relay is less than a threshold value. When the output voltage is less than the threshold value, the microcomputer repeats the activation of the relay and the determination. The detection unit detects the occurrence of an open abnormality when the repetition number exceeds two.
