Vehicle controlling apparatus

摘要

To secure normal operation and then restart a microprocessor (CPU) when a CPU built into an on-vehicle electronic apparatus runs away. A number of on-vehicle loads driven from a CPU, a watchdog timer for monitoring the CPU to reset and restart it on occurrence of an abnormality, and a memory element for storing generation of the reset output are provided, and load driving elements or a load relay is rendered inoperative by output of the memory element. The memory element is reset by cutting off or reclosing the power switch, and an on-vehicle electronic apparatus returns to a normal state.
