<p>Three possible types of "faults" may be detected in the ignition system of a vehicle, using simple combinational logic to provide an essentially error-free activation of an indicator (58) when a true fault is present. "Fault" signals which mean non-rotation of the alternator, broken cables or short circuits and the like are distinguished from transient and less significant conditions. The latter conditions are prevented from activating the indicator. A single indicator lamp (58) serves to alert the user to a serious fault requiring service.</p> |
