    Abstract: The invention provides an on-vehicle electronic control unit wherein all types of combinations of electrical equipment can be controlled by the electronic control unit with a common arrangement without changing the arrangement of the microcomputer, the print circuit board or the like, which makes it possible to reduce the number of parts of the on-vehicle electronic control unit to a large extent and reduce the cost thereof. The memory portion of a microcomputer of the electronic control unit stores the control programs for all types of electrical equipment to be controlled. Input terminals are opened and/or ground in accordance with the combination of electrical equipment to be controlled so that the microcomputer can recognize the type of the control program to read from the memory portion. In this manner, the electronic control unit is adapted to the change of the combination of the electrical equipment without changing the hardware arrangement. In this case, an alarm for key-forgotten state and a room lamp are both provided normally, and motors for locking and unlocking an electric door lock system are provided optionally so that they can be replaced by other electrical equipment such as electric flexible outer mirrors or other devices.

    Abstract: In a device for detecting the operative states of switches, a common switching device 17 is connected in series with input resistors 16, and currents flowing into switching circuits are cut off when it is judged based on the states of switches 10 to 15 that a vehicle is being parked. Further, a detector 19 is so set as to perform its detection only at specified intervals. The switching device 17 is turned on at the detection timing of the detector 19 and is, when the detector 19 performs no detection, turned off so as to prevent the currents from flowing into the respective switching circuits. With the above construction, the currents flowing into the switching circuits can perfectly be cut off while the vehicle is being parked, and the input resistors in use are less than in the prior art. Further, since the currents flow through the input resistors at specified intervals, an average power consumption of each input resistor can be reduced, enabling the use of input resistors having a low rated power.

    Abstract: Data in a RAM indicated by a top address is read, the read contents are written into the next address, and the operation is repeated to an end address, then the RAM value at the end address is compared with the RAM value at the top address. If the RAM values are the same, all the RAM is determined to be normal. The data comparison processing may include only one comparison with the end address data. Additionally, a ROM may be checked in a distributed manner in the wait time of main processing, rather than being checked in initial processing.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for reducing electrical power consumption of an electronic unit provided with a central processing unit (CPU). The CPU is returned to a normal operation state at regular intervals when the CPU has been placed in a sleep state. The CPU outputs a clear signal to a monitoring circuit, and makes reference to an actuation signal for an external device, such as, for example, a motor from a control switch to place the CPU in the sleep state at a time other than a time when reference is made to the clear signal and the input signal. When the CPU has been released from the sleep state, reference to an output of the clear signal and the input signal and an output of only the clear signal are repeated at regular intervals and at a predetermined frequency.
