Claim Text:
1. An electronic key system comprising: a control unit acquiring an identification data from an electronic key, being allowed to operate when the acquired identification data is authorized and security is canceled, and being connected to a first in-vehicle unit; a first wiring harness connected to the control unit; a second wiring harness connected to a second in-vehicle unit; a connector connecting the first wiring harness to the second wiring harness, the control unit and the connector respectively including memories embedded therein prestoring the identification data; and a security canceling unit canceling security to which a matching result of matching is transmitted when all the identification data stored in the memories embedded in the control unit and the connector correspond to the identification data transmitted from the electronic key, wherein the connector includes an attaching/detaching detecting unit embedded therein and detecting attaching and detaching of the control unit, wherein when detaching of the control unit in the attaching/detaching detecting unit is detected as a detecting result, the detecting result is stored into the connector, and wherein after the detecting result is stored in the connector, a matching result of no matching is transmitted to the security canceling unit without verifying matching with the identification data upon transmission of the identification data from the control unit to the connector, the security canceling unit avoids canceling security.
