Abstract:
A sensor mounting state determination device includes distance measurement section that measures a distance to a road surface based on time from transmission of a transmission wave to reception of a reflection wave by an ultrasonic sensor that is mounted to a vehicle to transmit a transmission wave toward a road surface and receive a reflection wave reflected off the road surface. There is further provided a determination section configured to determine not only that the ultrasonic sensor is correctly mounted when the distance measured by the distance measurement section is identical to a predetermined distance, but also that the ultrasonic sensor is incorrectly mounted when the distance measured by the distance measurement section is not identical to the predetermined distance.

Claim (Index 2):
The sensor mounting state determination device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the ultrasonic sensor transmits the transmission wave at a transmission gain greater than a transmission gain at normal time, and the determination section determines that the ultrasonic sensor is incorrectly mounted when the ultrasonic sensor does not receive the reflected wave.
