Abstract
A mother unit includes a mother board within a case. Control units control output devices, such as an air conditioning actuator, an antiskid actuator, an air bag module, or a constant speed actuator, each provided in a vehicle. The control units are freely connected to or disconnected from the mother unit. The mother unit is connected with the actuators by a wiring harness. Further, the mother unit is connected with sensors requisite for controlling the actuators by a wiring harness. A mother board of the mother unit is provided with common circuits shared by the control units.
