Patent number: 7689335Abstract: Start/stop decision circuit receives main and sub IG instruction signals from a hold circuit and a sub line, respectively, and if the signals match in logic, the start/stop decision circuit follows the main IG instruction signal's logic to determine whether an ignition switch is turned on/off. If the main and sub IG instruction signals attain the high and low levels, respectively, and a logic discrepancy is thus caused, and a condition is established for speculating that the vehicle is parked and therefrom a decision is made that the vehicle system will be stopped with high probability, then the start/stop decision circuit determines that the ignition switch is turned off, and start/stop decision circuit detects that the hold circuit has an ON failure and subsequently the start/stop decision circuit stops the vehicle system.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2006Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushik KaishaInventors: Keiji Kaita, Masaya Amano

Publication number: 20050024193Abstract: If a trigger unit in a set range is received after a transmission, an annunciation portion is advised of a likelihood of radio interference. In this case, no trigger signal is supplied. If identifier information that has been received corresponds to the identifier information stored in a memory after the transmission of a trigger signal, a count value remains untouched (YES in S55). It is apparent that identifier information was transmitted before from one of wheel-side units that has supplied a trigger signal, and that the trigger signal has not been received by a desired one of the wheel-side units. An operator can supply a trigger signal again through a change in relative position or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2004Publication date: February 3, 2005Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIK KAISHAInventors: Hideki Kusunoki, Takashi Kida
