<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a failure diagnosis device of a vehicular switch capable of reducing the possibility of erroneous diagnosis caused by a use condition and obtaining high reliability. <P>SOLUTION: A main switch Sw2 detects whether a brake pedal 1 is stepped on and reaches a first predetermined position or not, and an auxiliary switch Sw1 detects whether the brake pedal 1 reaches a second predetermined position between an initial position and the first predetermined position or not. When it is detected that the brake pedal 1 reaches the second predetermined position, an ECM 7 starts the integration of time. When the integrated value of time reaches a first predetermined value and it is detected that the brake pedal 1 reaches the first predetermined position or that the brake pedal 1 does not reach the second predetermined position, the ECM 7 stops the integration of time, clears the integrated value, and integrates the number times that the integrated value of time reaches the first predetermined value to discriminate that the main switch Sw2 causes a failure when the integrated value of the number reaches a second predetermined value. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
