Abstract

A system for controlling an object such as a vehicle safety device comprises a microcomputer, and reset circuits. The microcomputer judges whether or not an identification data is stored in a specific area of the RAM in order to identify the kind of the resetting method. If the judgment result is "NO", the object is controlled after an early judgment of the control system is effected. In contrast, if the judgment result is "YES", the object is controlled without effecting the early checking.
