  • Patent number: 9533579
    Abstract: An electronic control apparatus controls am electrically-driven vehicle, which has no engine but has only a motor supplied with electric power from an electric power supply source. The electronic control apparatus has a self-diagnosis function for storing an abnormality code corresponding to a diagnosis object when abnormality of the diagnosis object is detected. The electronic control apparatus checks whether the motor and the electric power supply source are operating normally when a power control switch is turned on under a state that the abnormality code is stored in a memory. The electronic control apparatus checks whether abnormality is detected again in the diagnosis object, the abnormality code of which has already been stored, when the motor and the electric power supply source are operating normally. The electronic control unit erases the abnormality code when no abnormality is detected again.

  • Publication number: 20130060418
    Abstract: An electronic control unit includes an abnormality detecting section, a storage portion, a simplifying section, and a storing section. The abnormality detecting section detects an occurrence of a vehicle abnormality. The storage portion stores driving information of a vehicle. The simplifying section simplifies time-series data values of the driving information before the occurrence of the vehicle abnormality by reducing an accuracy of the time-series data values of the driving information and does not simplify a data value of the driving information at the occurrence of the vehicle abnormality. The storing section stores the data value of the driving information at the occurrence of the vehicle abnormality, which is not simplified by the simplifying section, and the time-series data values of the driving information before the occurrence of the vehicle abnormality, which are simplified by the simplifying section, in the storage portion.
