Abstract
A controller apparatus for a vehicle includes a computer for controlling devices mounted in the vehicle, and a detector means for detecting the state of the computer immediately before the computer enters a reset state. The computer determines its processing contents on the basis of the detection result of the detection means immediately after the computer is started. Thus, the controller apparatus detects the abnormal reset of the computer in control, thereby assuring the safe control of the devices.
