Patent ID: 7340326

Claim:
A control method for a vehicle control system, the method comprising: storing, if a system reset occurs, an operation state of the vehicle control system immediately before the system reset, and storing a recovery mode that corresponds to the operation state of the vehicle control system immediately before the system reset; referencing the stored content at a start of the vehicle control system; performing a recovery process based on the stored recovery mode if a recovery process is to be performed; enumerating and storing a normal operation time that is measured from a start of the vehicle control system until the system reset occurs; determining whether or not the stored normal operation time is greater than a first reference value; performing enumeration by a recovery counter if it is determined that the stored normal operation time is greater than the first reference value; determining whether or not the enumerated value of the recovery counter is equal to or greater than a preset value; and terminating the vehicle control system if it is determined that the enumerated value of the recovery counter is equal to or greater than the preset value.
