Abstract: An ECU monitoring device includes a driver's seat J/B ECU and an immobilizer ECU both connected to a main battery through a power line. In operation, the immobilizer ECU is formed so as to output a communication signal superimposed on the power line. While the driver's seat J/B ECU is formed so as to receive the communication signal from the power line. When the communication signal is not received by the driver's seat J/B ECU, it judges that the immobilizer ECU is disconnected from the power line on purpose or that a false instrument in place of the immobilizer ECU is connected to the power line falsely. In this way, the ECU monitoring device allows the driver's seat J/B ECU to monitor a connection between the power line and the immobilizer ECU to be monitored.
