  • Patent number: 7906867
    Abstract: A power steering lock apparatus provides high reliability and can be actuated using minimal control parts. In a power steering lock apparatus including a lock bolt, an actuator, an actuator driving part, position detecting part, and a slave control part, and being structured such that the slave control part executes a control in accordance with a control signal output by a host control part, the host control part outputs an integrity confirmation code signal to the slave control part, the slave control part executes a computing process by using the input integrity confirmation code signal as a parameter, and outputs a result of computation as an integrity confirmation information to the host control part, and the host control part outputs an engine start signal when the host control part determines that the slave control part is normally activated, and the lock bolt indicates an unlock position state.

  • Patent number: 6542071
    Abstract: When a “window automatic opening mode” is set in advance by a window automatic opening mode setting switch (14), and the user who carries a portable unit (1A) approaches an onboard unit, doors are automatically unlocked, and a window of a predetermined door is opened when the electric field strength of a radio signal from the portable unit (1A) becomes larger than a predetermined value. This function can be disabled by the window automatic opening mode setting switch (14).
