Abstract:
An inductive load control device includes: an electric path configured to connect an external DC power supply and an inductive load drive unit; an opening and closing unit configured to connect or disconnect the electric path; a voltage detection unit configured to detect a voltage difference between ends of the opening and closing unit; and a failure detection unit configured to detect a failure of the opening and closing unit. The opening and closing unit includes: series-connected first and second switching elements; and a diode connected in series with the first switching element and in parallel with the second switching element such that an anode of the diode is disposed in a direction of the DC power supply. The failure detection unit is configured to detect that the second switching element is in a non-conduction failure, based on the voltage difference.

Claim (Index 7):
The inductive load control device according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein the voltage detection unit is configured to detect a first voltage difference between the first voltage and the second voltage when the electric path control unit performs control to make the first switching element and the second switching element conductive, and wherein the failure detection unit is configured to detect that the second switching element is in a non-conduction failure in a case where the first voltage difference is larger than a predetermined first threshold value.
