Claim 0:
1. A power door device comprising:
a motor actuator configured to open/close a door of a host vehicle;
a control unit configured to control driving of the motor actuator;
an information acquisition unit configured to acquire information about each of vertical acceleration, namely acceleration of the host vehicle in a vertical direction, and a motor load for the motor actuator; and
a diagnostic unit configured to make a first determination as to whether or not the motor load exceeds a predetermined load threshold and a second determination as to whether or not the vertical acceleration exceeds a predetermined acceleration threshold, and diagnose, based on results of the first and second determinations, whether or not an overload condition has occurred at the door, wherein
when the motor load exceeds the load threshold as a result of the first determination, the diagnostic unit diagnoses an abnormality where the overload condition has occurred at the door, and
when the vertical acceleration exceeds the acceleration threshold, as a result of the second determination, the diagnosis of the abnormality is deferred.
