Abstract:
A control device for a vehicle includes a grille shutter ECU that is connected to a LIN communication line and controls driving of a grille shutter, and an engine ECU that is connected to the LIN communication line so as to be able to establish communication with the grille shutter ECU. In the case of detecting an abnormality in the communication, if a predetermine threshold time or more has elapsed since a start of the vehicle, and if cumulative time that a detection result of a vehicle speed sensor is equal to or more than a predetermined vehicle speed threshold value, is equal to or more than a cumulative threshold value, and a number of starts of the vehicle is equal to or more than a predetermined trip number, the engine ECU determines that the detected abnormality is a failure in the LIN communication.

Claim (Index 1):
A control device for a vehicle comprising:\n a control unit connected to a communication line in the vehicle, the control unit controlling in-vehicle equipment; and a determination unit that is connected to the communication line and that is configured to establish communication with the control unit, wherein in the case of detecting an abnormality in the communication, if at least one condition that: (i) a predetermined threshold time or more has elapsed since a start of the vehicle, or (ii) a cumulative time, that a vehicle speed detected by a detection unit is equal to or more than a predetermined vehicle speed threshold value, is equal to or more than a cumulative threshold value, is satisfied, the determination unit determines that the detected abnormality is a failure in the communication.
